Questions, safety and policies
Frequently asked questions
Everything you might wonder before your first session. Still curious? Send Jenn a note from the booking page.
Breathwork
What does somatic breathwork feel like?
Many people feel tingling, buzzing, warmth or coolness, and some tightness in the hands as energy moves. Emotions may rise and release. These sensations are normal and safe, and you are always in control. [Draft: Jenn to review.]
Is breathwork safe? Who shouldn't do it?
For most people, yes. Breathwork is not right for everyone, so please check with your doctor first if any item in the safety list applies to you, and tell Jenn about any health conditions before your session. [Draft: Jenn to review.]
What should I expect in my first session?
You arrive to a cup of tea and a gentle conversation about what you would like from the session. Then comes guided breathing with music and optional hands-on support, followed by 20 minutes of rest to let everything settle. The four steps are laid out on the Somatic Breathwork page. [Draft: Jenn to review.]
What if I get emotional?
That is welcome and very common. Jenn holds a safe, gentle space for whatever comes up, and the integration time at the end lets everything settle before you leave. [Draft: Jenn to review.]
What happens in a couples session?
You each receive the full breathwork experience, with added focus on your connection to one another. [Draft: Jenn to write.]
Restorative Yoga
Do I need any yoga experience?
None at all. Restorative Yoga asks nothing of you. Jenn sets up every posture and tucks you in. [Draft: Jenn to review.]
What should I wear?
Soft, comfortable clothes you can lie down in, and warm socks. Blankets and all props are provided. [Draft: Jenn to review.]
