Deep Breathwork is a wonderful and transformative practice!

Please take a moment to read the following to ensure it’s safe for you to participate. If anything feels uncertain, I’m happy to suggest alternative ways to breathe, and I encourage you to consult your doctor if needed.

Breathwork Participation Guidelines & Contraindications

I am participating in breathwork sessions with Camilla Drema.

I understand that Deep Breathwork is a powerful and transformative practice that may involve strong connected breathing, emotional release, and physical exertion. Because of this, it is important that I am in adequate physical and mental health to safely participate.

I acknowledge that breathwork may not be safe for individuals with certain medical conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Cardiovascular disease or prior heart attack

  • High blood pressure

  • Use of prescription blood thinners (e.g., Coumadin)

  • Epilepsy or seizure disorders

  • Glaucoma or osteoporosis

  • Severe asthma

  • Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or dissociative disorders

  • History of significant trauma

  • Pregnancy

I understand that if any of these conditions apply to me, I should consult my doctor before participating and inform Camilla prior to attending a session.

I recognize that breathwork can sometimes be physically, emotionally, or mentally intense, and I take responsibility for my own well-being during and after the sessions. Camilla is happy to recommend alternative ways to breathe if the standard practices do not feel suitable.

I understand that participation is voluntary, and that I should seek professional medical or psychological support if needed before or after a session.
