1-1 Breathwork
How does breathwork help to heal?
​
In our sessions, it's not uncommon to discover that improper breathing, influenced by posture, anxiety, stress, emotional blockages, and ingrained habits, is a contributing factor to your state of being. During anxious moments, we tend to engage in shallow chest breathing, rapid breaths, and even breath-holding—an orchestra of stress signals that can intensify anxiety and trigger panic attacks. The implications of not breathing properly extend beyond stifling body functions.
​
By mastering the art of conscious deep breathing, expanding into the diaphragm and opening up all breathing zones, you reclaim control over your most valuable resource—your breath. This practice stimulates the vagus nerve, a powerhouse of the parasympathetic nervous system, guiding you back to a state of calm, rest, and digest.

What type of breathwork is it?
​
Jade guides you through an exploration of your own breath, incorporating various breathing, awareness, and grounding practices. This leads into Rebirthing breathwork, or Conscious Connected Breathing—an inhalation into the belly, ribs, and chest, followed by an exhale without pauses, creating a continuous, rolling wave. This gentle yet deeply powerful modality resets the body and mind, guiding you back to your optimal state of being. Sessions involve laying down with closed eyes, as Jade's guidance leads you through a personalised journey. Her unique ability to delve into energy awareness and healing enhances the experience, allowing her to tune into you and guide you even deeper into the transformative process.
​
Is this breathwork suitable for me?
​
Conscious connected breathing is suitable for any age and for various reasons, ranging from enhancing sleep to releasing trauma or managing states of anxiety or depression. It's a tool for anyone seeking to reconnect with their optimal way of breathing. However, given its potential for intense physical and emotional releases, individuals with certain health conditions—such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, or severe mental illness—may need to consult their primary care physician before engaging in breathwork. Pregnant women and those with asthma are also advised to consult their healthcare provider. It's normal to experience short-term dizziness or numbness during deep breathing exercises, but if you feel uncomfortable, taking a break is encouraged.
