ARE THERE ANY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BREATHWORK SESSIONS?

DISCLAIMER: Breathwork offers many potential benefits, but certain conditions may create risks for some individuals. It is essential to read all questions in the waiver above carefully before deciding if Breathwork is right for you, and let your health practitioner know about any concerns before participating. There are some contraindications including but not limited to pregnancy, glaucoma, high blood pressure not controlled with medication, cardiovascular disease, aneurysm in the brain or abdomen, uncontrolled thyroid conditions and diabetes, asthma (if you have an inhaler, bring it to the session), epilepsy, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia diagnosis or previous psychiatric hospitalisation within the last ten years; other medical or physical conditions that impair the ability to engage in intense physical/emotional release.
A positive answer does not necessarily exclude you from participating but may require medical clearance first. So, reviewing all questions in the waiver carefully and indicating any relevant personal situations before engaging in Breathwork activities is essential.

ARE THERE ANY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COLD EXPOSURE?

There are always risks involved when engaging with natural forces such as the cold, but there are indeed appropriate steps taken to mitigate and lessen as much risk as possible. 

Prior to the workshop: it is advised to begin implementing gradual cold exposure into your daily routine as soon as possible via a short cold shower (either as a stand-alone or at the end of your normal hot shower). This begins the adaptation process in your mind and body to help prepare for the shock of the cold. 

In the workshop: we begin by presenting hands and feet in the cold to assess the body's response. If you experience any adverse reactions (headache, nausea, lightheadedness, extreme stress response) then I, the facilitator, reserve the right to encourage you not to fully submerge in the ice, or, in the rare case, to not participate at all. 

Please note that adverse reactions are unlikely but can (and do) occur, 

The ice bath is completely optional. 

 

WHAT IF EMOTIONS COME UP AND HOW CAN I HANDLE THEM IF THEY DO?

On these workshops, I fully welcome any emotions that might come up during both the breathwork session and / or the ice bath. That’s why I have taken every measure to ensure your safety and comfort while you take this journey. I will join you on the ride and provide any tools or techniques that may be needed if intense feelings come up. I provide a safe and supported environment with and am always ready to assist you should you need it. Before the breathwork session, we take time to get comfortable by providing calming breathing exercises so that your mind is relaxed when beginning the session. No matter what comes up during the session, know you’re in a secure environment with people who are willing to support and guide you.

CAN I ATTEND A BREATHWORK SESSION IF I AM UNDER 18 YEARS OLD?

Yes, you can attend a breathwork session if you are under 18 years old, but only with the supervision of an adult. This is to ensure that the breathwork session is conducted in a safe and secure environment for everyone involved. From experience we know that often the experience is more appropriate for those that are aged 18 and above

In addition to safety considerations, breathwork sessions are likely to be more appropriate for those aged 18 and above. This is because adolescents may not have the emotional maturity or life experience needed to fully understand or benefit from such a technique.
