Join me as I facilitate this intimate group Breathwork session which will be an opportunity to take your journey to a whole new level of surrender. You will be guided on a journey within your own sacred space where you will be completely held and supported to release what is needed to move forward on your own healing journey.
Holotropic Breathwork is a powerful practice that involves deep, rapid breathing to induce altered states of consciousness. While many people find it transformative, it is **not recommended** for certain individuals due to the intense physiological and emotional effects it can trigger. Those who should **avoid** or **consult a qualified professional** before attempting Holotropic Breathwork include:
1. People with Cardiovascular Conditions
- High blood pressure (uncontrolled)
- Heart disease, arrhythmias, or previous heart attacks
- Risk of stroke or aneurysms
2. Individuals with Respiratory Issues
- Severe asthma (unless you have an inhaler and medical clearance)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Any condition that affects normal breathing
3. Those with Neurological Disorders
- Epilepsy or a history of seizures
- Severe migraines triggered by hyperventilation
4. Individuals with Mental Health Concerns
- Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (especially mania), or psychosis
- Severe anxiety or panic disorder (as the breathwork can amplify these)
- PTSD (unless facilitated by a trauma-informed practitioner)
5. Pregnant Women

6. People with Recent Surgeries or Physical Injuries
- Any recent major surgery, especially affecting the chest, lungs, or head
- Detached retina or history of eye surgeries (due to pressure changes)
7. Those Using Certain Medications
