  • The session will last approx 90 minutes. If in person please turn up 10/15 minutes before the time stated so you can get comfortable before the session starts. The session will start at exactly 730pm and the door will be locked. Any late arrivals will not be allowed to come in. If on zoom I will open the room 5 minutes before the slotted time for people to get logged on.

  • You can also bring an item for resourcing if you wish ie a favourite pillow or blanket or teddy.

  • Before the session please read the waiver form and be aware of the contraindications. Please inform me of any contraindications as this will affect the way you breath through the session.

  • Try to not eat a heavy meal a few hours before our session, if you do we will have to stick to nose breathing rather than through the mouth.

  • Please do not drink alcohol or take any drugs at least 24 hours before the session.

  • If the session is a Zoom session please find a space that you can ideally lay down (if sitting is preferred that is fine) and feel safe to experience whatever comes up during the session.​​​

 

                                                                                Aftercare

A lot of emotion can come up during a CCB session. Then again it may not and it may come up 1/2/3 days later, or you might not even go there for your first few sessions. What we experience is different for each and everyone of us.

  • Please be gentle with yourself.

  • Drink plenty of water and try to avoid alcohol/drugs at least 24 hours after a breath work session.

  • Get a good amount of sleep. Be aware of your dreams and try to journal if anything comes up in your dreams.
