Terms & Conditions

For Private Breathwork Sessions, Programs, and Events Pause and Exhale — www.pauseandexhale.com.au

1. Introduction

By enrolling in a breathwork session, program, or event through Pause and Exhale, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms & Conditions. They’re here to create clarity, respect, and safety within our shared experience.

2. Nature of Breathwork Coaching

Our work is collaborative and grounded in nervous system support. Breathwork is not counselling or psychological therapy, and if deeper emotional concerns arise, you may be referred to a more suitable professional.

3. What to Expect from Transformational Breathwork

Breathwork is a powerful modality that can activate deep physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts. Each experience is unique and may include:

4. Physical Sensations

  • Tingling in the face, hands, or feet

  • Warmth or coolness flowing through the body

  • Temporary muscle tension before softening into relaxation

  • Natural shifts in breathing rhythm and pace

5. Emotional Responses

  • Euphoria, joy, or a sense of lightness

  • Emotional release, such as tears or catharsis

  • A deepened sense of love, connection, and self-awareness

5. Mental & Spiritual Shifts

  • Clarity, insight, and dreamlike imagery

  • A sense of expansion or connection to something greater

  • Energetic rebalancing that fosters inner alignment

You're encouraged to move gently with whatever arises. Reach out anytime with questions or reflections.
