Breathwork Contraindications
Breathwork results in certain specific physiological changes in the body and can result in intense physical and emotional release.
Therefore, for safety purposes, I cannot allow persons with the following conditions to participate in the group or online breathwork session:
1. Epilepsy
2. Detached Retina
3. Glaucoma
4. Prior diagnosis by a health professional of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
5. Osteoporosis is serious enough whereby moving around actively could cause potential issues.
6. High Blood Pressure that is not controlled with medication.
7. Extremely low blood pressure with/ and/or fainting
8. Pregnancy
9. Cardiovascular disease and/or any heart irregularities including prior heart attack
10. If either you have had an aneurysm or if two members in your immediate family have had one.
11. Use of prescription blood-thinning medications such as Coumadin

13. Strokes, seizures, TIAs, or other brain/neurological condition or disease
14. If you have been diagnosed with PTSD and still have very strong symptoms, you are required to get your therapist’s approval to participate before you register and best to do a session face to face / in person.
15. Any other medical, psychiatric, or physical conditions which would impair or affect the ability to engage in any activities that involve intense physical and/or emotional release.
