9. Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes! All services are available online via Zoom, including private and group sessions.

10. Is this a replacement for traditional talk therapy?

While deeply therapeutic, these offerings are not a substitute for licensed mental health treatment. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Somatic Therapy can pair exceptionally well with traditional talk therapy—each supports the other. Many clients find that working with both allows for deeper integration, insight, and healing. These practices are meant to complement, not replace, professional mental health care.

How Does Breathwork Work?

Breathwork involves various techniques that alter your breathing rhythm and depth. This can include:

Deep, slow breathing: Calming the nervous system and reducing stress.
Rapid, rhythmic breathing: Energizing the body and releasing emotions.
Holding the breath: Shifting into a meditative state and accessing deeper levels of consciousness.

These techniques work by:

Increasing oxygen intake: Nourishing the body and brain.
Activating the parasympathetic nervous system: Promoting relaxation and reducing stress hormones.
Releasing emotional blockages: Allowing for deeper emotional processing and healing.

What are the Benefits of Breathwork?

Breathwork has been shown to offer a wide array of benefits:

Reduces stress and anxiety
Improves mood and emotional well-being
Increases energy and focus
Enhances creativity and intuition
Deepens self-awareness and connection
Promotes physical healing and detoxification
Releases trauma and emotional blockages
Improves sleep quality
Strengthens the immune system

Is Breathwork Safe?

Breathwork is generally safe for most people when practiced responsibly. However, it's essential to be aware of potential side effects and contraindications.

Possible Side Effects:

Temporary physical sensations: Tingling, lightheadedness, muscle cramps, changes in body temperature.
Emotional release: Crying, laughter, intense emotions.
Altered states of consciousness: Vivid imagery, mystical experiences.

Contraindications:

Breathwork may not be suitable for individuals with certain health conditions, including:

Cardiovascular issues
High blood pressure
Asthma
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
Recent surgery
A history of mental illness
Pregnancy- some forms of breathwork can induce labor

It's crucial to consult with your doctor before starting any new somatic breathwork practice, especially if you have underlying health conditions. Medical release will be required for any of the above conditions.

Breathwork for Children:

While breathwork can be beneficial for children, it's essential to approach it with caution and ensure parental presence and guidance. Children may experience intense emotions or physical sensations, and having a parent present can provide support and reassurance. Intake sessions will be required prior to any breathwork sessions with children ages 18 and under.

Breathwork is a transformative practice that can help you access deeper levels of well-being. By incorporating conscious breathing into your life, you can unlock your body's innate healing potential and live a more vibrant and fulfilling life.
