Breathwork
I also offer conscious connected breathwork which is about using the power of the breath to bring about positive change. When used in specific ways, conscious breathing allows us to connect with the body, become more present and increase our awareness. This in turn helps generate feelings of calm and becoming more grounded.
At deeper levels, breathwork can help to access and resolve emotions, belief systems, stresses and memories which are often inaccessible through conventional talking modalities. It is one of the safest and most direct ways to work with our whole selves and integrate mind and body.
What to expect in a session?
A breathwork session is typically 2 hours long and includes 3 stages: (i) preparation and intention setting (ii) 60 minutes of guided conscious breathing (iii) debriefing on the session.
I am there to support and guide you on your journey. Everything that we discuss is confidential and it is a completely safe, and non-judgemental space. After we have spent some time exploring your intentions, you will be invited to lie down for the breathwork itself. Lying down helps with entering a state of relaxation, but the session can also be facilitated as a seated practice.
As you are breathing, I will be checking in with you and the invitation is to feel into the body and allow any sensations, emotions or intuitions to flow through. At any point, it is possible to relax or intensify the breath, so that you are always in control of how deep you want to go. In the final part of the session, you will have an opportunity to journal or debrief on what has come up for you.
The in-person sessions take place in my garden room in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, where we are lucky enough to have an abundance of wildlife including toads, owls and hedgehogs. I am also able to facilitate the sessions over Zoom for those that prefer or who live farther afield.
