“The fact is that when we focus on the breath, we are focusing on the life force. Life begins with our first breath and will end after our last. To contemplate breathing is to contemplate life itself.”

Larry Rosenberg, Breath by Breath

Holotropic breathwork offers valuable benefits for rejuvenating your sense of appreciation with life and embracing the many vibrant aspects of yourself.

Please read the multitude of benefits that enhance the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the self.

  • Holotropic breathwork is a therapeutic technique developed by Stanislav and Christina Grof that combines accelerated breathing, evocative music, and focused bodywork to induce altered states of consciousness.

    Lauren qualified as a Breathwork facilitator in 2022 as part of the Elated You program which prides itself on trauma-informed care.

    Lauren creates a unique Breathwork Journey as a guided spiritual practice. Through intention setting and by bringing awareness to the chakra system (our internal energy systems) this is an investigation into our internal landscape.

    This practice can have transformative impact as deep self-exploration leads to healing and self-empowerment.

    Breath is a gateway to self compassion and inner peace

    1. Emotional Release and Regulation: By learning to process stuck emotions and experiences in a safe environment, individuals can develop better emotional regulation and resilience in everyday life.

    2. Relaxation and Release of Tension: The deep breathing can help release physical tension from the body and increase mental clarity.

    3. Enhanced Circulation and Oxygenation: Deep, intentional breathing increases oxygen levels in the body, which can enhance circulation, improve cell function, and provide a sense of vitality and energy.

    4. Empowerment: The experience can be empowering, as it encourages participants to take an active role in their emotional healing and personal transformation.

    5. Overcoming Blocks: By exploring and releasing repressed emotions we can find it easier to overcome mental barriers and old patterns of behaviour.

    6. New Perspectives: The altered state of consciousness can offer fresh perspectives and new ways of thinking, which can be valuable for problem-solving and self-compassion.

    7. Enhanced Intuition: Often people feel a heightened sense of intuition during or after sessions, which can be beneficial to unlock untapped potential.

  • Cautions
