Does breathwork really work online? I know it does because my own journey with breathwork has been entirely virtual; everything that led me here happened through a screen.

I love working face to face, and I equally love working online. I have seen incredible shifts in people working in both environments; some are more suited to one over the other and that’s completely fine. Some people want that separation from their home, some wouldn’t feel comfortable not being at home.

If you want to try breathwork but in-person sessions aren’t practical for you, whether that’s time, location, or other commitments, online is a truly powerful way to experience this work.

Do you have reservations about doing this work online, or have you tried it and felt the shifts yourself? Let me know in the comments👇

When people talk about trauma, they say it lives in the body, and I agree with that to a degree but not in the way it’s often described. No specific yoga sequence is going to remove the trauma from your fascia, because it’s not stored there in the way it’s often implied. Newer schools of thought state that trauma is linked to reduced physiological flexibility, rather than something being trapped in the connective tissues of the body. In lay terms: somewhere along the way our system learned that dysregulation feels better because its familiar and regulation feels foreign because its unfamiliar. We’re stuck in survival mode, meaning we’re not able to regulate our nervous system.

A traumatic event might break your arm, and once the bone is healed, it’s healed. What’s not always healed is the way your body braced for impact and the way it internalised the fear of the event. Trauma lives in the coping mechanisms your nervous system developed to keep you safe. When your primary caregiver was angry and you adapted to suppress your fears and emotions to manage theirs, or how you pushed through to achieve things you didn’t really want, to people please and earn your place at the table.

When those threats in your environment have gone, your body still remembers the physiology it created; the nervous system remains stuck on high alert. When we create the conditions to come back to embodiment through the breath and connecting with the body, in an environment that allows safe self-exploration, we come back to the present moment.

It’s in the present moment that we learn to be with the discomfort of our survival patterns, and allow our nervous system to register that the threat is no longer there.

If you’ve been curious about breathwork but something has been holding you back, I hope this post helps. These are the questions I get asked most often before a first session.

If something here resonates or you have a question I haven’t covered, feel free to drop it in the comments or send me a message.

Have you ever noticed a shift in your energy when you’re in the presence of someone you feel safe with? In essence, that’s what co-regulation is. It’s not a feeling as such, it’s a physiological process that happens automatically in response to the people around you.

The same is also true when you sense something feels off the moment you enter a room of people you don’t feel safe with.

A grounded, regulated presence can make you feel safe, but an unregulated one can do the opposite.

Not all breathwork is the same, and not all facilitators work in the same way. When you’re considering something that works this directly with your nervous system, your emotions, and your body, it’s worth taking your time to understand how a facilitator works before you decide whether they’re the right person to support you. These are the eight principles that form the foundation of every session I hold; they’re grounded in my training, my own experiences of this work and years of working with people.

When we’re searching for something, but aren’t sure what, we just know we want to feel different; catharsis can be very enticing. Big releases where things bubble up and come flooding out can be mistaken for proof that you’ve had a ‘breakthrough’.

Real transformation doesn’t happen in peak experiences; it happens in the days, weeks and even months that come after. It’s how we integrate our experiences that leads to the change we are seeking.

I’ve seen it all too often that people seek out ‘heavy breathwork’ with a view that the session is going to be what creates the change.

Sessions are a catalyst. It’s the process of integration: bringing presence and intention to what has surfaced during a session that creates the shifts. This happens when the nervous system has the space to process and metabolise what comes up. Even the most powerful experiences can lose their potential without integration.

A good facilitator understands that pushing someone past what they can hold doesn’t create change, it has the potential to create and perpetuate dysregulation (trauma). The work is about creating conditions where the body feels safe enough to feel what’s present, and integration is what turns those shifts into real change.

If you’ve been thinking about trying breathwork but aren’t sure where to start, I completely get it. There’s a lot of information out there, and there’s also a lot of misinformation.

I didn’t know what to expect when I first discovered this world back in 2021.

This is why I always have a discovery call. It’s a confidential space where you can share as much or as little as you want to, ask me any questions, and get a sense of how this all works.

The work we do together is deeply personal, and it’s important that you feel like I’m the right person to support you and that we’re a good fit.

You can find the form on my website, link in my bio, or email me directly and we can take it from there.

The niggles, sensations and emotions that become present when we listen to the body are asking to be felt and experienced.

When we push past these signals, we bypass the very thing that needs to be witnessed. This is why Introspective Breathwork® Therapy is not like other breathwork practices. We listen to the breath, we follow where it’s leading, and we learn to trust what it’s showing us.

When we allow this process to unfold using our natural breath, without force, without manipulation, without controlling the breath or our emotional responses to it, we soften, we open and we go deeper in a sustainable way.

Most people come to breathwork not really knowing what to expect, and I didn’t either. My first experience of it did more harm than good, but I didn’t know it at the time.

I had heard about breathwork as an alternative to managing stress and depression, and I’d tried pretty much everything else, so what did I have to lose? Being someone that had always been drawn to the quick fix option, I wanted something that would be ‘one and done’, so I started with a popular practice that was going viral. It was fast, it was forceful, and my pace was controlled by the person leading the practice.

I had no idea what was happening in my body; there was no integration support, and no context for what was surfacing, but I kept doing it because I didn’t know what else was possible.

I won’t dismiss it entirely though. I did start to connect with myself in a way I never had before, and it sparked a curiosity in something I knew I wanted to explore further. I researched every breathwork school I could find, until I found .

I was introduced to a world of healing I had no idea existed. I didn’t even know I needed to heal, let alone how to heal. It was through developing my breathwork practice during my training that the real process of reconnecting to myself started.

My eyes were opened to a whole trauma history I had no idea I was carrying.

I learned how to be with my body and my emotions rather than just talking about them, or avoiding them, and slowly I started to feel more regulated, more grounded, and more like the person I wanted to be.

That’s the power of breathwork when it’s held with integrity and care, by someone who is trauma-informed and has done their own deep work.

This experience is why I work the way I do.
