FAQs
General / Studio Environment
Do you use incense or essential oils during sessions?
Yes, we sometimes use essential oils, sage, or gentle incense to create a calming, grounding atmosphere. These are intended to enhance the experience, but if you’re sensitive, please let us know beforehand and we’ll happily adjust. Your comfort and wellbeing always come first.
What should I bring?
Please bring water, comfortable layered clothing, and cosy socks. Sessions involve lying down and some people find it comfortable and cosy to bring a pillow and an eye mask. Included in your investment, we provide you with a blanket, fluffy mat and bolsters to make yourself as cocooned as possible! Temperature can drop slightly as you enter a meditative state, so layers are recommended (and fluffy socks!)
Sound Baths
What happens during a Sound Bath?
To get the most from your session, simply relax in a comfortable position—lying on the floor or on a mat you bring, eyes closed or with a mask. Allow the sounds to wash over you and stay present with whatever arises. Sleeping is perfectly fine; it’s all about letting go and being held by sound.
What happens if I snore?
No worries! Snoring is natural and nothing to feel embarrassed about. Everyone experiences sound differently, and the group environment is welcoming and non-judgmental.
Can I take a Sound Bath while pregnant?
Every pregnancy is unique, and research on sound baths during pregnancy is limited. We never place instruments directly on anyone. Please consult your physician before attending. With clearance, pregnant participants are welcome—bring extra pillows to lie comfortably on your side, as lying on your back is not recommended after the first trimester.
Are there any contraindications?
Sound baths are generally gentle and restorative, however they may not be suitable for everyone. Please read the following carefully:
Pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester
Epilepsy or a history of seizures
Serious mental health conditions (e.g. psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder in an acute phase)
Use of a pacemaker or implanted medical device
Recent surgery or acute injury
Severe sound sensitivity, tinnitus, or hearing conditions that may be aggravated by vibration
Under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the session
If you have any medical condition, are under medical care, or are unsure whether a sound bath is appropriate for you, please consult your healthcare professional and contact me in advance to discuss your individual needs.
Your comfort is always paramount. You are welcome to adjust your position, step outside, or stop at any time during the session. Listening to your body is encouraged.
Breathwork
What is Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB)?
CCB is a powerful practice where you breathe in a continuous, connected manner. Rooted in ancient healing traditions and modernised for today, it allows you to explore the depths of your mind, body, and soul.
How does CCB differ from other breathwork techniques?
While many breathwork methods exist, CCB’s focus on unbroken, circular breath creates a unique blend of physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits including fostering a deeper sense of self.
What are the benefits?
Physical: Increased energy, improved detoxification, releasing stuck energy and nervous system regulation
Emotional: Reduced anxiety, clarity, and emotional release
Spiritual: Deeper self-connection, insight, and inner calm
Are there any side effects or risks?
Some people may feel lightheaded or emotional during a session, these effects are short-lived. Those with certain health conditions are unable to attend our CCB sessions (we are able to work with you in our functional breathwork clinic) A contraindication form is always completed before a session so we can guide you with what is best. We will also go through everything that you might experience during your first session with us.
Are there any contraindications:
Pregnancy
Epilepsy
Severe asthma/COPD
Psychosis
Schizophrenia
Bipolar
Heart conditions
High/low blood pressure
Can I attend a workshop if I haven’t done Conscious Connected Breathwork before?
No. It is important that we have a session with you first so that we can offer 1:1 guidance on how to breath and support you fully during your first breathing session.
Can I participate if I don’t like to be touched?
Absolutely! Any acupressure or touch elements are optional and will be removed if preferred. You’ll still experience a transformative breath journey using affirmations linked to your unique breathing pattern.
What should I expect during my first session?
Expect a journey. Gentle preparation, guided breathing to connect the breath, and a range of sensations from tingling to emotional release. Trust the process and breathe through what comes up. We will be there to guide you and support you.
Coaching
Can I work with you if I’m currently in talking therapy?
For the best results, coaching works with clients not currently in therapy. Once you’re ready, we can start your journey. If therapy becomes necessary during our work, sessions can be paused or refunded.
I’ve tried quitting alcohol before—why is this different?
I’ve been there—planning days around pubs, finding no joy if alcohol wasn’t involved. Moderation rarely works when you’re ready for freedom. I’ve coached women at every stage—from rock bottom to high-powered professionals—helping them reclaim energy, focus, and clarity.
What’s included in coaching programmes?
Using Positive Psychology, breathwork, visualisation, and my 5:11 system, we’ll explore:
Triggers and strategies to navigate them
Managing stress, anger, or boredom without alcohol
Building energy, focus, and clarity
Aligning your life with values, dreams, and goals
How long are programmes?
Programmes run for a minimum of 6 weeks, with weekly Zoom or in-person sessions and ongoing support via messaging.
Do I have to give up alcohol to work with you?
No, these sessions are designed to guide you toward living freely without alcohol. We invite you to show up fully, during each session and in the time between, as this is where real transformation happens, creating space for freedom, clarity, and joy.
Retreats & Events
What’s included in retreats?
Each retreat is unique and seasonal, flowing with the natural rhythms of the year and the energy of the universe. Individual events will clearly explain what’s included.
