BREATHWORK
Safety and Breathwork Suitability
Breathwork is a powerful practice, and your safety matters. Some forms of breathwork aren’t suitable for everyone.

If any apply to you, you’re still very welcome to work with me — we’ll explore Functional Breathwork, which offers gentle, supportive benefits for everyday life.

A whole body approach to breathwork
The Seven Belts of Tension: Where the Body Holds Emotion
Wilhelm Reich, a student of Freud, made a fascinating discovery—when we suppress emotions, our bodies don’t just forget; they hold onto the tension. Over time, this builds up in distinct areas, creating an almost invisible suit of armour that shapes how we feel, move, and interact with the world.
He identified seven key areas, or “belts,” where this tension accumulates—similar to how the chakra system can become blocked.
At first, this armouring serves a purpose. It helps us cope with overwhelming emotions and creates a sense of safety. But if held for too long, it can become a habit, restricting our energy flow—like a dam blocking a river.
Often, we don’t even realise how much we’re holding in until we begin to release it. And when we do, it can bring a deep sense of relief, ease, and emotional freedom, helping us move through life with more flow and authenticity.
