FAQs

Breathwork is a powerful practice that uses conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. It can help release tension, reduce stress, and foster a deeper connection with yourself.

The course will introduce you to a variety of breathing techniques, including Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB), which is a breathing technique where the breather intentionally connects the inhale with the exhale without any pauses. It allows deep awareness of self and for our connection with self and others to develop, providing the groundwork for profound personal development.

Breathwork is a powerful healing modality and although usually a deeply relaxing and enjoyable process, it can result in certain specific physiological changes in the body and also sometimes intense physical and emotional release.

Sessions can cause tingling, dizziness, trembling, shaking or other physical sensations, emotional experiences and experience of energy moving through your body.

While breathwork is generally safe, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions. As a precaution some health conditions are contraindicated for anyone thinking of practicing the Conscious Connected Breath and it is crucial that you inform me beforehand. In most cases you can still join but I will guide you accordingly. If you have any concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider before signing up.

Absolutely! The course is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of experience. The breathing techniques are easy to learn and you will be guided throughout to ensure you feel comfortable and supported.

The course will include an introduction to breathwork and breathing techniques, and in particular Conscious Connected Breathing. You’ll ensure your space is setup best to support you. You can be sitting or lying down. People often experience a range of sensations and emotions, including feelings of peace, clarity, and release, and you will be guided to process the experience. Each session will end with an opportunity to share and discuss what came up, to help integration. Matt will also share other techniques and tools to support you in your continued journey.

Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing that allows you to breathe freely.

Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow and eye covering – as well as a water bottle and notepad.

Also have any medication that you may need to hand (e.g. asthma inhaler).

That is completely normal. Matt is experienced in creating a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your emotions in a group setting, and you will have the opportunity to do a one-to-one session where he will be able to guide you personally with one-to-one support. Additional one-to-one sessions will also be available to book if helpful.

Standard Cost: £180

Supported Place: If financial circumstances are a barrier but you are committed to yourself and this work then a concessionary rate may be possible. Contact Matt directly to discuss.

Online sessions will use Zoom, so you will need a device to connect with, and ideally which can be placed so you can be seen during the session. Earphones can be very helpful.
You will need a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted for the sessions, ideally with somewhere you can comfortably lie or sit down. Ensuring you can make your self comfortable, so you may want to have a blanket, cushion and mat to lie on.

What clients say:

Having Breathwork sessions with Matt over the past year has supported me to connect with and trust my body more. Matt’s clear explanation and gentle guidance throughout creates a sense of safety which helped me to be curious and lean into the experience. He would respond with sensitivity and care when different feelings emerged, and encouraged me to tune in to what my body needed afterwards. I’m deeply grateful for Matt’s facilitation, the experiences have been hugely affirming and have helped to embody a lot of the inner work which for me has tended to be more head-based.

Matt provides calm and supportive guidance which really helps me to stay focused and get the most from my breathwork.

Matt’s wonderfully calm, reassuring presence guided me through an exhilarating breathwork session today. I will be back for more…

Breathwork was completely new to me. Matt created a space online which felt safe and supportive and led a group through the process with skill and sensitivity. I hugely valued the sense of awareness and peace that breathwork gave me.

Matt has a really reassuring and calm manner that enabled me to wholly embrace this new idea in a safe way.

I enjoyed Matt’s style as teacher and facilitator. I enjoyed feeling safe and trusting the process because I trusted Matt. I left the session with a fresh appreciation for how amazing my body is, a renewed wonder at the process of breath itself, and the beginning of an understanding of how my breath can open new spaces in my body, mind and emotional life. Breathwork feels like a game changer!

Matt has the confidence and experience to immediately inspire trust in his gentle instructions allowing me to let go and follow his guidance through the process.

There was nothing weird or mysterious about this breathing, it was just learning to use what I already have, and Matt made that so easy. He is easy to understand and made me realise it’s listening to my own body and breath. Matt has a calm aura , is very encouraging and peaceful. I felt enabled to have the freedom to be myself. Thank you.

Matt was an amazing guide to help us relax and notice things that I never would have before. The breathwork and other activities we did really made you appreciate where we were and how we were feeling without realising it.

Matt led an introduction to breathwork session for us. It was well structured and felt safe, gentle and encouraging.
