Small group breathwork and sauna sessions for anyone needing a space to come back to themselves, release emotion and reconnect to their body. These 3-hour events are deeply nourishing, held by experienced somatic facilitator and breathworker, Lizzie at her home ceremony space and onsite sauna.

Open to all, whether you are new to breathwork or have practiced many times before. We will practice conscious connected breathing: an activating technique that allows the body and mind to access unfelt emotion and for trapped energies to move.

If you have been feeling out of touch with yourself and are ready for a caring space where you can feel held and safe to feel and express, this is for you.

We start with a gentle landing or meditation, a short sharing circle with the opportunity to set any intention you may have for your journey. I will give a full introduction to the breathing technique and practice. The breath journey will last about 40-45 minutes. I am there throughout to support and guide you along with a curated playlist. I ensure there is ample time to land after the breathwork. This is a precious, often tender, time to allow insights to arise, perhaps to journal or draw.

Then, to support deep somatic integration, you can step into the beautifully warm sauna and allow your body to deeply relax and the benefit of the breathwork journey to soak into your bones.

Your Facilitator

Trained in Holosomatic Therapy and meditation, I love to create caring spaces where you are free to feel without judgement or pressure. Whatever you may be carrying emotionally or physically, this session invites you to relax and breathe into a greater sense of freedom to be you!

I look forward to meeting you and holding this space for you to journey with the breath!

BREATHWORK

Activating breathwork is a powerful practice that can open up deep emotional, physical, and spiritual experiences. It often brings profound healing and insight — and it also places your body and nervous system under stress for short periods. Because of this, it’s important to know whether it’s safe and appropriate for you right now.

Physical Health

● Pregnancy – Not recommended, as the effects of intense breathwork on pregnancy haven’t been studied and strong breathing or emotional release may trigger contractions.

● Severe cardiovascular conditions or irregular heart rhythms (including previous heart attack) – Breathwork can temporarily raise heart rate and blood pressure, which may put strain on the heart.

● High blood pressure – Rapid breathing and emotional activation can cause spikes in blood pressure.

● Glaucoma or detached retina – Pressure changes and physical strain during breathwork may increase intra-ocular pressure and risk further damage.

● Epilepsy or history of seizures – Faster, deeper breathing can lower carbon dioxide levels and potentially trigger seizures.

● History of stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or aneurysm – Breathwork affects blood flow and pressure; please get medical advice first.

● Asthma – Some people find breathwork helpful, but it can also bring on symptoms. If you have asthma, please let us know and keep your inhaler close.

● Recent injury, surgery, or conditions such as osteoporosis or arthritis – Joints may be more sensitive to tetany (cramping); Strong physical or emotional movements can strain the body; adaptations may be possible.

● Taking blood-thinning medication (e.g. Warfarin/Coumadin) – Intense movement or pressure could increase the risk of bruising or bleeding.

● Diabetes or hypoglycaemia – Long or intense sessions may affect blood sugar levels; please check in with us before proceeding.

● Current or recent serious infection, fever, or acute illness – Please wait until you’ve fully recovered.

Mental and Emotional Health

● Personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder – Activating breathwork can sometimes destabilise mood or perception.

● Recent psychiatric hospitalisation, suicide attempt, or severe emotional crisis (within the past 10 years). Written approval from a health professional is required before reaching out to discuss with us.

● PTSD or trauma – Breathwork can surface intense memories or emotions. In many cases it is healing, in some cases, it may be overwhelming. Please reach out to us to assess readiness and support, written approval from a health professional may be

required.

● Recent discharge from addiction treatment – Deep work can bring up strong material; it’s best to wait until you feel stable and supported.

SAUNA

Sauna use raises your core body temperature and heart rate, and causes significant fluid loss through sweating. For most people this is safe and beneficial, but some conditions increase the risk of harm.

● Pregnancy – Raised core body temperature can be harmful to a developing baby.

● Cardiovascular conditions, irregular heart rhythms, or history of heart attack/stroke – Heat exposure raises heart rate and can cause blood pressure to spike or drop suddenly.

● High or low blood pressure – Sauna use can cause sharp changes in blood pressure.

● Current or recent illness, infection, or fever – Heat exposure adds further strain to a body that's already fighting infection.

● Dehydration, or conditions affecting fluid/electrolyte balance (e.g. kidney disease) – Sweating causes fluid and mineral loss that can worsen these conditions.

● Fainting, dizziness, or low blood sugar conditions (e.g. diabetes) – Heat can bring on or worsen these symptoms.

● Skin conditions, open wounds, or recent burns – Heat can aggravate irritated or healing skin.

● Alcohol or recreational drug use – Never use a sauna under the influence; it significantly increases the risk of dehydration, fainting, or heart strain.

● Taking medication that affects heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, or alertness – Please check with your doctor before sauna use.

Important Note

If any of these conditions apply to you — or if you’re unsure — please contact us before the

session..
