Safety & Contraindications

A Gentle and Responsible Approach

Rebirthing Breathwork is offered in a gentle, trauma-informed, and choice-led way.

Your safety, comfort, and autonomy are central throughout the process.

Sessions are guided with care and respect for the nervous system. The pace of the breathing and the depth of the experience are always led by the person breathing. At any time, you may pause, adjust your breath, or stop the session if needed.

This work is not about pushing the body or forcing emotional release. Instead, it supports awareness, regulation, and the natural intelligence of the body to move at a pace that feels safe and appropriate.

Your Choice & Your Consent

You remain in control of your experience at all times.

During a session you are always welcome to:

• Pause or slow the breathing
• Ask questions or request support
• Sit up or change position
• Take breaks whenever needed

Your comfort, boundaries, and personal choice are respected throughout the session.

Contraindications

Conscious Connected Breathwork may not be suitable for people with certain medical or psychological conditions.

These include:

• Serious heart conditions or cardiovascular disease
• Detached retina or certain eye conditions
• Epilepsy or seizure disorders
• Severe or unmanaged mental health conditions
• Active addiction to drugs or alcohol

If any of the above apply to you, please consult with your rebirthing practitioner and your healthcare provider before participating.

In some cases, breathwork sessions may need to be modified or postponed to ensure your safety.

Pregnacy

Rebirthing Breathwork can be adapted to support pregnancy and the perinatal journey.

Sessions are always adjusted to meet the physical and emotional needs of pregnancy. The pace of breathing remains gentle and supportive, with attention given to comfort, grounding, and nervous system regulation.

If you are pregnant and interested in participating, please let your practitioner know in advance so the session can be adapted appropriately.

Medical Disclaimer

Rebirthing Breathwork is a wellbeing and self-awareness practice.

It is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, or midwifery support.

If you are currently under the care of a doctor, therapist, or mental health professional, you are encouraged to consult with them before participating.

This work is intended to support personal awareness, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system regulation alongside appropriate professional care.

Creating a Safe Space

Sessions are facilitated with attention to:

• nervous system regulation
• emotional safety
• pacing and consent
• grounding and integration

The intention is to create an environment where the body feels supported enough to breathe, rest, and reconnect at its own rhythm.

Healing cannot be rushed.

Safety and presence come first.
