Frequently Asked Questions

About The Guided Breath

Where are you located?

I'm based in Geelong, Victoria, and offer in-person sessions locally as well as online sessions.

Do you work outside Geelong?

Yes. Online sessions are available Australia-wide and internationally where appropriate.

Do I need previous breathwork experience?

No. All experience levels are welcome, including complete beginners.

Functional Breathing

What is Functional Breathing?

Functional Breathing focuses on how you breathe during everyday life.

We look at breathing habits, awareness, mechanics and practical strategies that may support more efficient and comfortable breathing.

Is Functional Breathing the same as Breathwork?

No.

Functional Breathing focuses primarily on improving everyday breathing habits and developing practical breathing skills.

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a different, more experiential approach that uses a continuous breathing pattern to support self-awareness and emotional wellbeing.

Will I have to breathe deeply?

Not necessarily.

Functional Breathing is not about simply taking bigger breaths. Depending on your goals, we may work with quieter, slower or more efficient breathing.

1:1 Sessions

How long is a session?

Session length depends on the service you choose. Your first session is generally longer so we have time to talk about your goals and understand your needs.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on what you're hoping to achieve.

Some people benefit from a single session. Others prefer a short series to allow time to practise and build new skills.

Can I do sessions online?

Yes.

Conscious Connected Breathwork

What happens during a Conscious Connected Breathwork session?

We begin with a conversation about your goals, relevant health information and whether the practice is appropriate for you.

If appropriate, you'll then be guided through the breathing practice while remaining aware of your own experience.

Do I have to have an emotional experience?

No.

There is no “correct” experience and no expectation that you need to have a breakthrough or release.

Can I stop?

Absolutely.

You can pause, change your position, adjust the practice or stop at any time.

Is Conscious Connected Breathwork suitable for everyone?

No.

Some more active breathing practices may not be appropriate for people with certain medical or psychological circumstances.

If you're unsure, please contact me before booking.

Classes

Are your classes suitable for beginners?

Yes.

What should I bring?

For in-person sessions, bring whatever you need to be comfortable, including water and appropriate clothing. Specific event information will be provided when you book.

Are your classes intense?

Not necessarily.

Different classes and events use different approaches. The class description will explain what to expect.

Workplace

Can you customise workplace sessions?

Yes.

Sessions can be adapted to your organisation, team size, time available and objectives.

Do you use intense breathwork in workplace sessions?

No.

Workplace sessions focus on accessible breathing education and practical strategies appropriate for a professional environment.

Can you present online?

Yes.

Safety

Is breathwork a replacement for medical or psychological treatment?

No.

Breathwork is a complementary wellbeing practice and should not replace appropriate medical or psychological care.

What if I have a medical condition?

Please contact me before booking if you're unsure whether a particular breathing practice is appropriate for you.

What if I feel uncomfortable during a session?

You can always pause or stop.

Your experience is yours to control.

Still have a question?

I'm happy to talk it through.
