HELPFUL TIPS TO PREPARE FOR THERAPEUTIC BREATHING SESSION

​​

For In-Person Sessions

 

What to Bring:

•  A blanket—cool temperatures are common during sessions.

•  A water bottle—hydration is key.

•  Wear comfortable clothes you can move and breathe in (pants preferred).

• Optional: Chapstick—your lips may get dry during breathwork.

• Journal and pen—you may want to capture what comes up for you.

•  Please use the restroom before we begin. You may feel lightheaded or deeply relaxed afterward.

• Refrain from eating a heavy meal for at least 2 hours beforehand

 

For Online Sessions

 

Before the Session:

​

• Download the Zoom Meetings app at least 30 minutes before your session.
   

• Test your audio (computer or device) 15 minutes prior. Tech glitches love last-minute set ups!
   

• For the best sound quality, please use headphones, earbuds, or external speakers.
   

• Silence your phone, close unnecessary apps, and turn off notifications to preserve connection quality and create space for focus.
   

Creating Your Healing Space:

​

• Choose a private, quiet environment.
   

  • Ideally, arrange for childcare or pet care if needed. The more present you are, the deeper the impact.
     

  • And no, your partner, pets, or roommates do not need to be stored in the overhead compartment—but your full attention is needed here.
     

• Please position your camera so I can clearly see your chest, abdomen, throat, and face. This helps me guide your breath safely and effectively. Reach out in advance if you’d like to discuss privacy needs.
   

• Lighting should be soft but not dark—I need to see you clearly during the session.
   

• Set up a comfortable space on the floor or your bed.
   

  • A flat pillow or no pillow is best for your head.
     

  • Pillows under your knees can help support your back.
     

• Have a blanket nearby—it’s normal to feel cold or even fluctuate between hot and cold.
   

• Keep a journal and pen within reach—you may want to capture insights right after your session.
   

Reminders:

• You are always in control of your process. I’m here to guide—not to lead your mind.
   

• Your subconscious knows what you're ready to face. Trust it.
   

• If you’re currently working with a therapist, feel free to discuss breathwork in advance. I’m also happy to connect with your therapist directly if helpful.
   

 

And Always:

• You are in control of your process.

• Trust your body. Trust your breath.

• Healing begins with your willingness to be present with yourself.
