Rebirthing Breathwork

Rebirthing Breathwork is suitable for beginners, as well as those with prior experience of breathwork.

However it is not recommended if:

• You’re pregnant or have certain medical conditions, including heart and blood pressure issues, epilepsy, recent surgery, glaucoma, detached retina, history of aneurysms and severe mental health conditions - see the full list here.

• You’re looking for a calming breathwork practice without deeper emotional exploration.

• You’d like to learn breathwork techniques to use at home.

If any of these apply to you, a Breath-Body-Mind Session would be more suitable.

Many people come to breathwork after years of therapy, having understood a lot, but still feeling something is unresolved.

Talking therapy works with the thinking mind — putting words to what's happened to make sense of it.

Rebirthing Breathwork gives you space to actually feel what's being held in the body, rather than just talking about it.

A lot of what we carry — old patterns, emotions, tension — isn't stored as a story we can think our way through. It's held physically and the breath offers a way to feel and move through it.

Each session begins with a gentle check-in to explore how you're feeling and what you would like to focus on.

During the breathwork, you'll lie on a yoga mat while being guided into the breath. As you breathe, your energy increases and starts to flow around your body, meeting and moving through any blocks.

This opens space to feel and release tensions and emotions, and find a deeper inner connection. This can bring insights and realisations such as a new understanding of something you've been carrying, or simply a clearer sense of what's true for you.

Throughout the session, I'm here with you, guiding you at your own pace — there's never any pressure to go further or faster than feels right.

After the breathwork, there is time to reflect and integrate your experience, so you leave grounded and restored.

It's recommended to allow at least 30 minutes after your breathwork session to settle and ground yourself.

Yes, Rebirthing Breathwork works by using the breath to gently activate the nervous system. This allows incomplete experiences, which trauma often is, to come to the surface to be met and integrated.

It can be helpful for processing trauma and the emotions held around it, as well as supporting nervous system regulation.

This is often what talking alone struggles to reach, as trauma doesn't just live in the mind, it also lives in the body — and breath can be one of the most direct ways in.

If you have severe or recent PTSD, or feel like you're not quite ready to go into deeper release, or want to build a sense of safety in the body first, then the shorter Breath-Body-Mind session may be more suitable to start with, as this focuses on regulation and building resilience in the nervous system.

You’re most welcome to book a free discovery call to chat things through and explore how breathwork can support you.

Rebirthing Breathwork is complementary support and is not a replacement for any medical or psychological care.

Most people feel calmer and more connected to themselves after a session. They feel lighter and have more clarity and ease.

Sometimes breathwork can create a powerful physical and emotional healing process, as your body clears blockages and tension. If this happens you may feel tired or a little tender after a session. This is a normal part of the healing process as your body integrates the session.

It's always recommended to take good care of yourself with lots of rest, healthy food and gentle self-care practices and allow a little time after each session to settle and ground.

Rebirthing Breathwork uses conscious connected breathing which gently activates the nervous system to bring up anything that's held — emotions, trauma, limiting beliefs — and gives them space to be met, released and integrated.

It's a more intense style of breathwork, with a longer breathing stage that can lead to expanded states of awareness and emotional release. It offers a deeper exploration of the body, psyche and even soul, helping loosen the grip of limiting beliefs and old patterns, and freeing up space to move differently in life.

Breath-Body-Mind, by contrast, uses shorter breathwork techniques alongside somatic coaching, with a soft, slow practice called coherent breath at its centre. It's a down-regulating method, focused on supporting the nervous system and finding a sense of grounded calm and safety in the body. It's a gentler starting point if you're not ready for deeper release work, and teaches techniques you can practise at home.

If you're not sure which session is right for you, you're welcome to book a free discovery call and we can talk through what would work best for you.

In-person sessions take place at Prana Voice in Hackney (5 mins walk from Haggerston Station).

• Try to avoid eating 2 hours before a session.

• Avoid alcohol the day of your session.

• Wear something comfy that you can take big breaths in.

Online sessions are held via Zoom, and you will just need a private space where you can comfortably lie down on either a yoga mat or bed.

It's called Rebirthing Breathwork because the breath can take you so deeply into what's held in the body that, for some people, birth memories can surface.

It’s a method that was developed in the 1970s that uses a gentle style of conscious connected breathing.
