Frequently asked questions

Rebirthing Breathwork is a powerful technique that uses conscious breathing to access and release deep-seated emotional, mental, and physical blockages in the body. It was developed by Leonard Orr and is based on the idea that we store unresolved traumas and negative emotions in our body, which can manifest as physical or emotional pain, stress, or illness.

During a Rebirthing Breathwork session, the practitioner guides the client through a series of connected breaths that are deep, rhythmic, and continuous. This type of breathing allows the body to take in more oxygen than it would through normal breathing, which can help to release blocked energy and emotions.

As the client breathes, they may experience physical sensations such as tingling or numbness in the limbs, or emotional responses such as laughter, crying, or anger. These experiences are a normal part of the process and are seen as signs that the body is releasing stored emotions and energy.

Rebirthing Breathwork is often used as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery, as it can help individuals to gain insight into their patterns of behavior, beliefs, and emotions. It has also been used to treat a variety of physical and emotional conditions, such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and addiction.

While Rebirthing Breathwork can be a powerful tool for transformation and healing, it is important to work with a trained practitioner who can guide the process and provide support. It is also recommended that individuals with a history of heart or respiratory issues consult with their healthcare provider before trying Rebirthing Breathwork.

Overall, Rebirthing Breathwork is a transformative technique that can help individuals to access and release deep-seated emotional and physical blockages in the body, leading to increased self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.

The number of breathwork sessions needed to experience the benefits can vary depending on the individual and their specific goals.

Some clients may notice immediate benefits after just one session, while others may require multiple sessions to achieve desired results.

I typically recommend starting with a series of 3-5 sessions to allow for a deeper integration of the breathwork practice and its effects.

If you are wanting to create long lasting, transformational change, a minimum of 10 sessions is highly recommended, with a session every 2 weeks if possible. After that, you can feel where you’re at, and whether you’d like to continue the sessions or if you would prefer longer to integrate. I am always available for support in between sessions via whatsapp.

Personally I only work with people over the age of 18 and please discuss before booking a session if you have any of the following:

A typical session may include energy and intuitive bodywork but this will be discussed in more depth before the session.

Absolutely! Breathwork can be especially beneficial for athletes competing in high-altitude sports, where oxygen availability may be limited. Specific breathwork techniques, such as altitude training and oxygenation exercises, can help athletes adapt to the reduced oxygen levels, increase endurance, and enhance performance at high altitudes.
