Questions
people often ask.

If you're curious or have questions about the experience, you're probably not the first person to wonder. Here are a few answers that might help.

If something is not answered here, you are welcome to ask.

Do I need any previous experience?

Not at all. You don't need to know how to breathe in a particular way, meditate, or have any previous experience with somatic or energy practices. A bit of curiosity is enough. Come as you are, and I'll guide you through each step.

What might I experience during the session?

Every experience is different. Some people feel a lot, some very little. Both are completely normal. Some people feel deeply relaxed, others experience emotional release, physical sensations, moments of clarity, or simply a stronger connection with themselves. There's really no "right" way to experience it.

Is it safe?

For most people, yes, and I take that “most” seriously. The practice is gentle, you stay in control throughout, and you can slow down, sit up or stop at any time. It isn't suitable for everyone, though (see “Who is this not suitable for?”), which is why I ask a few health questions before your first session. This work complements, but never replaces, medical or psychological care.

Is this therapy?

No. My background in psychology shapes how I hold the space: with care for pacing, consent and safety. But these sessions are a guided, body-based practice, not psychotherapy or medical care. If you're in therapy, you're very welcome; and feel free to talk to your therapist about it too.

How should I prepare?

Wear comfortable clothing, avoid alcohol or recreational drugs for 48 hours before and after the session, and, if possible, avoid having a heavy meal right beforehand. Come curious. There's nothing to achieve, and you can go as deep or stay as light as feels right on the day.

Who is this not suitable for?

This practice is not recommended for those under 18 years old, during pregnancy, individuals with severe mental health conditions, those suffering from epilepsy/seizures, severe cardiovascular conditions, glaucoma, recent surgery, or anyone under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs. If you're unsure whether this work is appropriate for you, feel free to contact me before booking.

What's the difference between a private and a group session?

Private sessions offer one-to-one guidance and more personalized support. Group sessions invite you into a shared space where each person has their own individual experience while being held within a collective environment.

How do booking and cancellations work?

After you complete your registration for the selected event, you'll find the payment information (MB Way or Bank Transfer) on the confirmation screen, and by email. Your place is only secured when I confirm the payment (usually within 24 hours). For private sessions, you pay once we've agreed on a time.

I'll then send you all the information you need for your session.

If your plans change:

  • Private sessions: full refund up to 48 hours before. With less notice, we can reschedule your session once, within the next 6 months.
  • Group sessions and events: full refund up to 72 hours before. After that, you can pass your place to someone else, or use the credit for a future event, within the next 6 months.
  • If I ever need to cancel, you choose: a full refund or credit for a new date, within the next 6 months.
  • Gift vouchers are valid for 6 months and can't be exchanged for cash.
