What to Expect in a Breathwork Session
Whether you’re new to breathwork and yoga or have some experience, I tailor each session to meet you exactly where you are emotionally, physically, and energetically.
All of my sessions are adapted to your comfort level and trauma history. I offer a gentle, culturally sensitive space where your breath and body become your guides toward safety, regulation, and resilience.
Here’s what a typical session may include:
- Gentle Check-In
I begin with a short grounding and emotional check-in to understand how you’re feeling and what you’d like to focus on.
- Guided Breathwork & Gentle Yoga Practice
I will guide you through specific breathing techniques (pranayama) and gentle movement (yoga asana) designed to support your current needs whether that’s calming anxiety, releasing tension, grounding after a triggering experience, or simply reconnecting with your body.
All techniques are:- Trauma-informed and accessible
- Adjustable to your comfort, breath capacity, and energy
- Designed to regulate the nervous system and restore mind-body connection
- Trauma-informed and accessible
- Integration and Reflection
After the breath and movement practice, I pause to reflect on how your body and mind responded. This might include:- A quiet moment of rest or stillness (savasana or seated integration)
- Gentle prompts for self-awareness
- Optional journaling or brief discussion
- A quiet moment of rest or stillness (savasana or seated integration)
Ongoing Support
You’ll receive optional tools, prompts, or practices such as breathwork, mindful movement, or grounding techniques to explore between sessions, depending on your goals. Yoga and breathwork can also be woven into your counselling journey as supportive, embodied practices.
Healing begins in a place of safety and stillness.
I offer guided breathwork and pranayama (yogic breathing) as a complementary tool alongside counselling or as a standalone support for emotional wellbeing. Rooted in trauma-informed care, these practices gently regulate the nervous system, calm the body, and bring awareness back to the present moment making them particularly helpful for:
Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Breathwork and gentle yoga activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing symptoms like racing thoughts, rapid heartbeat, and tension. These practices support emotional clarity, resilience, and a grounded return to calm.
Depression & Low Mood
Mindful movement combined with breath improves energy flow, lifts mood, and reawakens the body. It promotes vitality, emotional balance, and helps reconnect individuals with a sense of inner strength.
Anger & Emotional Dysregulation
Breath and movement create space between feeling and reaction. These practices encourage self regulation, calm the nervous system after emotional surges, and cultivate a sense of internal safety.
Trauma Recovery & Grounding
For those navigating trauma, the combination of breath and gentle yoga offers a safe path back to the body without needing to revisit traumatic memories. These embodied practices support emotional stability, grounding, and healing at your own pace.
