How do I prepare for a session?

You can show up exactly as you are - there is no need to prepare for a breathwork session

What do I need for an online session?

For online breathwork sessions, after we talk through your intentions, you will lie down to breathe.  So log on prepared to have a comfortable space nearby to lie down. You can position your computer/phone so that I can see you breathe and also speak with you during the session as desired. 

Everything gets included in a Breathwork Mastery session! Your response to any kind of interruption will all be included in your session. Therefore it is not necessary to be completely uninterrupted for the duration of your session.

What should I do after a session?

It is always advised to move gently back into life after a session, and stay curious about anything that comes up. You may continue to release or strengthen in the days after a session, so continuing to remember that what is coming up is related to your intention. I will check in with you after every session via email, text or voice note, and you are encouraged to share any reflections back to me.

How many sessions do I need? How often should I come?

This really depends! Some people have a very specific intention that they are ready to breathe on and can feel complete after a single session. Others find that attending a series of sessions can lead to longer lasting change. There is no formula for this, and ultimately the Self Mastery of Breathwork Mastery means that over time you develop the capacity to use the strategies yourself.

Is this therapy?

No, Breathwork Mastery is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health treatment. Though I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York, and my training very much informs my practice, I offer these sessions as a Breathwork Practitioner, not a social worker. I believe that Breathwork Mastery can be a powerful complement to traditional talk therapy and other treatment modalities.

Breathwork can be transformative in terms of self-discovery and the release of stored stress. You may experience emotions or past memories as part of this process—this is normal and part of the journey. While practicing Breathwork Mastery provides a supportive space, you are responsible for your own well-being.  I encourage you to seek additional support from mental health professionals or other practitioners if needed. In an emergency, please contact 911 immediately.

Do you accept insurance?

Unfortunately insurance does not cover Breathwork sessions. I will do my personal best to meet your needs if I have availability to slide my scale. Please feel free to share your requirements with me and we can have a conversion to see what might be possible.

What is the cancellation policy?

If you need to reschedule an appointment, please get in touch as soon as possible. Please note, there is a 36-hour $25 rescheduling fee that applies to cover the cost of space rental. I adhere to a 48-hour cancellation policy. Last-minute cancellations and no-shows are charged the full price of the session booked. Please note that arriving late to your session may result in a shorter appointment so as to not penalize clients booking after you. Clients who are over 20 minutes late will be asked to reschedule their appointment and will be charged a cancellation fee.

I’ve tried other forms of breathwork before, had a really difficult experience, and now I’m Hesitant to try again. How is this approach different?

Many dynamic or strongly guided breathwork styles can push the body into intense states that you may be physically capable of reaching but not yet emotionally or psychologically ready to process.

Breathwork Mastery works differently. We place no force on the breath. Instead, we trust your body’s natural intelligence to unwind at a pace that feels truly supportive. You set the intention, and your breath and body lead the way. This means you will only move into experiences that you are safe, ready, and supported enough to explore. The process is gentle, respectful, and always guided by what feels right for you.
