FAQs
What is breathwork and what is Transformational Breath®?
Breathwork refers to various techniques and practices where we consciously use our breath to achieve specific physical, mental, emotional or spiritual benefits. The way we breathe affects the way we feel and ultimately the way we live.
Transformational Breath® is a type of conscious connected breathwork which uses a full open diaphragmatic breath to integrate emotions/thoughts/memories at the cellular level.
What are the benefits of breathwork?
Breathwork can benefit your entire wellbeing (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual). Transformational Breath® in particular can help reduce physical tension & stress, aid sleep, increase energy, improve mental clarity & focus, release trapped emotions, increase intuition & creativity, plus increase feelings of connection, joy, peace & presence to name only a few!
What happens in a 1:1 breathwork session?
If it's your first session, we will have an initial consultation where you are provided with information on the technique, what to expect and discuss any medical conditions. Then, we will have a short coaching session and set an intention for the session. You then breathe actively and are facilitated for 45 mins followed by 15 mins of integration/relaxation, with time for questions and sharing if you’d like to at the end.
How many sessions should I book?
A bundle of 5 sessions is recommended (ideally 10), as this enables you to fully learn the technique, go deeper with your breath each time and get the best results. Similarly to therapy sessions, the more you can commit to and put into each session, the more you’ll get out of it.
What should I bring?
Wear comfortable, loose, layered clothing including socks (no jeans/belts, activewear ideal). Bring a notepad, a bottle of water and try not to eat any heavy meals in the 2 hours before the session.
Post session, remember to keep hydrated as you are detoxing the body, avoid alcohol/caffeine and eat some nourishing food. Try to be in nature, go for a walk, or have a bath and be present with what you are experiencing - take it easy as you are still in process for the next 2-3 days. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions or comments, we are here for you.
Why choose Transformational Breath® over other breathwork techniques?
The Transformational Breath® Foundation is an accredited breathwork school with the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance. It was awarded ‘Best Complementary Medicine Organisation’ by the Institute for Complementary and Natural Medicine. The training is very thorough, with all facilitators completing 7 weeks of training, completing over 100 hours of case studies, attending a first aid course and completing CPD hours each year.
I'm pregnant, can I book a session?
If you are a high risk pregnancy, always consult with your medical professional before booking a session. Otherwise, it is safe to have a session throughout all stages of pregnancy. There are certain acupressure points we would avoid during pregnancy and certain adjustments to positioning to make it safe and comfortable for pregnant breathers. Transformational Breath® sessions can be very valuable and rewarding in pregnancy.
