Conscious Connected Breathwork involves deep, circular and rhythmic breathing over a set period of time, giving access to heightened and therapeutic states of consciousness. It’s in these states where you can often resolve or start to loosen deeply embedded core issues, and access transformative non-ordinary states of consciousness for self-exploration, awareness, and healing.

Connecting with these heightened levels of consciousness can be conducive to shifting emotional and mental states, as the breath helps to guide us into deeper dimensions of presence and insight. We can also directly activate the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in the body, and a vital part of the autonomic nervous system. This nerve plays a central role in regulating our fight-or-flight response (sympathetic) and helps to transition to a calm, rest-and-digest (parasympathetic) state.

By weaving circular breathing with the 4 Pillars of Breath; Toning, Retentions, Adjustments and Frequency, we can journey with the breath and free-up energetic blockages, making it easier to let go of the past and move forward with ease.

Breathwork stems from Pranayama, yet the two original schools of Breathwork, Rebirthing and Holotropic, came about in the 1960’s - what has evolved since is a number of Breathwork modalities each using their own technique.

The 4 Pillars of Breath

  • Toning

    Vocal activations and chakra toning on parts of the body to release energy and activate the vagus nerve.

  • Retentions

    Timed inhale and exhale retentions for states of oneness, releasing energy, and unblocking unconscious patterns.

  • Adjustments

    Physical adjustments to release and align, and the activation of specific energy points.

  • Frequency

    Curated music for journeying and nervous system regulation with the use of specific tracks and binaural beats.

FAQs

  • A typical session includes an introduction, warm-ups, pranayama, Conscious Connected Breathing, and time at the end to integrate the experience.

  • Typically, I recommend starting with at least 3 sessions, with 5 being ideal. Having extra sessions, especially early on, allows you to learn the technique, become comfortable with the experience, and address any unconscious breathing patterns.

  • Comfortable clothes, extra layers in the event that it gets cold, and a bottle of water. You may also want to bring a journal, pen, and a meaningful sacred item.

  • Certain contraindications exist in Breathwork. If you have any complications or reservations, please contact direct before the session and fill out the form which will be emailed.

  • Participants have reported increased self-awareness, presence, relaxation and embodiment, as Breathwork often helps to bring people out of the head and into the heart/body. The transcendence of limiting beliefs and other mental blocks is also common, and safely releasing repressed or suppressed material.

  • When I’m not hosting in-person sessions, you can work with me online in 1hr or 1.5hr sessions that include Pranayama and/or Conscious Connected Breathing. The format remains the same and I’ll be there to guide and facilitate the session.
