I will welcome you and give an introduction into in breathwork. During this introduction we go through the contra-indications and possible side-effects. And we will practice different breathingtechniques.

After this we start the sessions. A matt, pillow, blanket, blindfold and headphones are waiting for you.

Once you are installed, familiarized with the headphone, the session will start. It takes between 60-80 minutes, approximately 45 of which are active connected breathing.

At one ore more points there will be a breath-hold and the possibility to let go of what you need to let go with a big sigh or scream.

After the active breathing you slow your breathing but the session continues with relaxation and integration.

Is Breathwork Safe?

In most cases, breathwork is a safe and beneficial practice that can be done by nearly anyone. It has been scientifically shown to support both physical and mental well-being and is even recommended by medical professionals to improve breathing capacity and reduce stress.

That said, if you’re new to breathwork or have specific health concerns, it’s a good idea to start with a trained facilitator, through private sessions, group workshops, or retreats.

That way, you can safely explore the practice in a supportive and guided environment.

10 Important Safety Considerations Before Starting Breathwork

While breathwork is generally safe, there are certain medical conditions that require extra caution. If any of the situations below apply to you, it’s best to consult your doctor before starting a breathwork practice.

1. Respiratory Conditions

Breathwork can improve lung function and support conditions like asthma or COPD. However, if you have chronic breathing issues or respiratory disease, some techniques may be too intense. Always check with your doctor to find the exercises that are right for you.

2. Cardiovascular Issues

If you have a heart condition—such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia, angina, or a history of heart attack—proceed with care. Breathwork can influence heart rate and blood pressure. Your doctor can advise whether it’s safe and suggest suitable techniques.

3. Pregnancy or Breastfeeding

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals may be more sensitive to the effects of breathwork. Gentle, beginner-friendly breathing exercises may still be helpful, but it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider first.

4. Medication Use

Some medications, especially antipsychotics, may affect how your body processes oxygen and blood flow. If you’re on any prescription medication, speak to your doctor about how it might interact with breathwork practices.

5. Recent Injury or Surgery

If you’re healing from an injury or surgery, intense breathing exercises could interfere with your recovery. Your healthcare provider can guide you on whether it’s safe to begin breathwork, and which techniques to avoid.

6. Osteoporosis

Certain breathwork practices involve physical engagement that might strain those with osteoporosis. If this applies to you, stick to gentle exercises and check in with your doctor before beginning.

7. Vision Conditions

Conditions like glaucoma or retinal detachment may be affected by changes in oxygen pressure during breathwork. Those with serious eye conditions should consult a medical professional before starting a breath practice.

8. Severe Mental Health Disorders

Breathwork can help with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, but it’s not a substitute for professional mental health care. People with severe mental illness should approach breathwork in collaboration with their doctor or therapist.

9. Seizure Disorders

If you have a history of seizures, certain breath techniques may pose a risk due to changes in oxygen flow. Always consult with a medical professional before beginning any breath-based practice.

10. Personal or Family History of Aneurysms

Because breathwork affects circulation and oxygen levels, it could present a risk for those with aneurysms or a family history of them. Speak with your doctor to evaluate if breathwork is safe for you.

When in Doubt, Ask

Breathwork can be incredibly powerful, but it’s not one-size-fits-all. If you’re unsure, always speak with a healthcare professional first. And remember: working with a trained facilitator can help you find techniques that feel both safe and effective for your body and mind.

1. Dizziness

Feeling lightheaded or dizzy is one of the most common side effects of breathwork. It’s often caused by reduced oxygen levels due to over-breathing or improper technique. If you feel dizzy, pause, return to slow, natural breathing, and consider practicing under the guidance of a trained facilitator.

2. Tingling in Hands, Feet, or Face

Tingling sensations, especially in the arms, legs, hands, or face, can be a sign of hyperventilation. This happens when oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body become unbalanced. It’s generally harmless but a signal to slow down and ground yourself.

3. Chest Discomfort

Breathwork can affect how your respiratory and circulatory systems function, sometimes leading to chest tightness or discomfort. If you experience chest pain during a session, stop immediately, rest, and consult a medical professional if the sensation doesn’t subside.

4. Irregular or Rapid Heartbeat

Some people notice a racing or irregular heartbeat during or after breathwork. If you have a heart condition or are prone to palpitations, it’s especially important to choose gentle practices and check with a healthcare provider before starting breathwork.

5. Muscle Spasms

Muscle cramps or spasms, especially in the diaphragm, hands, or around the mouth, can occur during intense breathwork due to shifts in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Slowing your breath and relaxing your body can usually resolve this quickly.

6. Blurred or Cloudy Vision

Changes in vision during breathwork may feel alarming but are typically temporary. They’re often linked to oxygen flow or pressure changes. If this happens, stop the practice and return to a calm, steady breath.

7. Ringing in the Ears

Some people experience ringing or buzzing in the ears, especially those who are sensitive to sound or have tinnitus. If this occurs, return to gentle breathing and take it as a cue to reduce the intensity of the practice.

8. Emotional Release or Distress

Breathwork can unlock deep emotions, memories, or trauma. While many people find this healing, others may feel overwhelmed. Always go at your own pace and consider working with a facilitator who can support you through emotional processing.

9. Risk of Psychotic Experiences

For some individuals, especially those with a history of psychosis or dissociation, certain breathwork practices may trigger destabilizing experiences. It’s important to speak with a mental health professional before engaging in breathwork if you have concerns about your psychological safety.

10. Seizure Risk

People with a history of seizures should approach breathwork with caution. Changes in oxygen levels can sometimes act as a trigger. Always consult your doctor before beginning any breath-based practice if you’re managing a seizure disorder.

Practice with Awareness

Breathwork can be deeply transformative, but it’s important to approach it with care. Listen to your body, know your limits, and don’t hesitate to ask for infomation, explantion or guidance.

As described under 2 there can be contra-indications. But if you do not have any of the physical or mental contra-indications you may do it.

Do realise that Breathwork can be incredibly powerful. It is not a one-size-fits-all. If you’re unsure, always speak with a healthcare professional first.

When doing a conscious connected breathwork session it is likely that you may experience some side-effects. This is quite normal. If you are not willing to do so, it is not for you.

Also people who are very sensitive to sound may find the 9D sessions too much and overpowering.

In that case consult with me to see if other breathing techniques are more suited for you, like box breathing or 4-7-8 breathing.

A 9D Breathwork session is a powerful and immersive experience. It combines conscious breathing with music, sound healing, and guided journeys designed to activate all your senses and support emotional, physical, and energetic release. Every session is unique, but here’s what you might experience afterward:

Deep Sense of Calm

Many people leave a session feeling deeply relaxed, as if a weight has been lifted. Your nervous system may shift into a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, bringing a sense of inner peace, stillness, and grounding.

Emotional Release

It’s common to experience a release of stored emotions, even those you didn’t know were there. You might feel lighter, more open, or more connected to yourself. Tears, laughter, or a sense of spaciousness are all welcome and valid responses.

Mental Clarity

After a session, your mind may feel clearer and more focused. Many people report insights, creative ideas, or a renewed sense of direction. It's a great time to journal, walk in nature, or reflect.

Renewed Energy

Once the integration begins, you might feel an energetic boost, increased motivation, or a sense of vitality. Breathwork can clear energetic blockages and help you feel more alive in your body.

Temporary After-Effects

Because 9D Breathwork is such a deep practice, you might also experience some temporary side effects, like:

Fatigue or needing extra rest;

Heightened sensitivity or emotions;

Vivid dreams or memories resurfacing;

This is all part of the body’s natural integration process and usually passes within 24–48 hours. Drinking water, taking it easy, and allowing yourself space to feel can support this.

A Stronger Connection to Yourself

Above all, people often report feeling more connected, to their intuition, their body, their emotions, or something greater than themselves. This connection is where true healing and transformation begin.

Integration Is Key

After a 9D Breathwork session, give yourself time to rest, reflect, and integrate. Breathwork is not just a moment, it’s an opening. Stay curious about what it brought up for you, and treat yourself with compassion in the hours and days that follow.A 9D Breathwork session opens you up. You may have found a solution for a problem, or have experienced a strong release of stress, anxiety and negative emotions. You might feel lighter, clearer, more relaxed, more open, reset.
