It has been observed that it takes approximately 10 breathwork sessions to regain the full potential of our breathing system and keep benefiting from all the aspects that optimal respiration brings: better sleep, digestion and energy levels, lowering of stress and anxiety, freedom of expressing one’s emotions, etc. It is sustained practice that allows habits to be formed, and deep, long-lasting change to happen.

The conscious circular breathing method I teach was developed by Lucille Fauque. It is a method she created after learning breathwork with Leonard Orr, the founder of Rebirthing Breathwork. She then added to it her experiences with different types of breathing techniques, her training in psychotherapy, and numerous experiences with alternate states of consciousness.

Being Trauma-informed means to recognize the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences / trauma among all people. Recognize that many behaviors and symptoms are the result of traumatic experiences. Recognize that being treated with respect and kindness – and being empowered with choices – are key in helping people recover from traumatic experiences.

The technique I use, Alive Breathwork, is not a hyperventilation technique. I guide you into a whole and deep respiration with a free and uncontrolled expiration.

Within the framework of the technique, you consciously choose how you breathe. Breathwork is a unique entry point into the nervous system. The breath is usually an autonomic function, like a heartbeat, but it is unique because we can consciously control it. Intentionally breathing in various patterns creates different outcomes, be it calming or stimulating. The beauty of breathwork is you can always slow down and return to normal breathing.

Breathwork sessions can happen via zoom or in person. For in-person sessions that are away from where I live (French Alps), additional transportation and accommodation expenses will be included.

Everyone is welcome, there are no levels in breathwork and you don't need to have done it before to participate.

However, if you have a medical condition or are currently taking medication, please consult with your healthcare practitioner beforehand. Breathwork can lead to intense physical and emotional release. If your doctor has advised you not to engage in this type of activity, do not attempt this style of breathing.

Technically speaking you could, but even as a practitioner I don’t for 2 main reasons:

1. A practitioner can help you go deeper into your psyche to release pain or untangle patterns and they can also guide you out of a memory or feeling if you get caught in a trauma loop. So, working with a professional is safer.

2. Secondly, as a practitioner, I focus on integration. Without any support it can feel like you've unraveled a whole lot of things and it can be overwhelming trying to make sense of it, let alone create meaningful change with it. Support and integration are a big focus because it's key to transformation.
