The Experience

There is a significant body of peer-reviewed research that demonstrates the effectiveness of breathwork.  Recent research published in 2025 from Macquarie University's Psychology Lab revealed lasting benefits from breathwork, including improved mood, reduced anxiety and greater self-awareness. The University of Queensland Research also found that breathwork is effective in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, compulsion, addiction and obsession in a study on breathwork for anxiety disorders (2023). 

Yes. While the Sunday reset is designed to be gentle, and invitational, activating or transformational breathwork can shift heart rate, blood pressure, and emotional or neurological states. You will not be able to participate in the stronger practices—or will require explicit medical clearance—if you have any of the following:

• Pregnancy (any trimester)
  
• Epilepsy or any history of seizures
  
• Severe psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, past or present psychosis, or unmanaged anxiety/panic disorders
  
• Active addiction, recent recreational-drug use, or psychoactive medications that markedly alter brain chemistry
  
• Serious cardiovascular issues (heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, recent cardiac surgery)
  
• Chronic lung disease (e.g., COPD, severe asthma)
  
• Recent major surgery or unhealed injuries, especially abdominal/hiatal hernia
  
• Serious or recent eye conditions (glaucoma, retinal detachment/surgery)
  
• Ear or hearing disorders aggravated by pressure changes
  
• Spiritual crisis or other unmanaged  mental-health challenges without professional support
  
• Any other medical, physical, or psychiatric condition that might impair safe participation

If you’re in doubt, consult your GP or specialist first and you must let us know of any contraindications at the outset of each session. We can modify it for you. Please also note you control the pace and can modify or skip any practice to honour your body’s signals.

Yes. Each pillar of our programmes and online sessions rest on published, peer-reviewed research:

• Connected breathwork for emotional release – A 12-year clinical report covering 11,000 holotropic-breathwork sessions in a psychiatric hospital documented frequent, safe emotional catharsis with no serious adverse events. 
  (A Clinical Report of Holotropic Breathwork in 11,000 Psychiatric Inpatients in a Community Hospital Setting.” James Eyerman, MAPS Bulletin, 2013)
  
• Slow/diaphragmatic breathing for stress resilience – Randomised studies show that just a few weeks of diaphragmatic or slow-paced breathing lowers salivary cortisol and boosts heart-rate variability, key markers of a calmer, more adaptable nervous system. 
  (The Effect of Diaphragmatic Breathing on Attention, Negative Affect and Stress in Healthy Adults.” Ma X. et al., Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 (-RCT measured salivary cortisol & HRV),  and

• Expressive writing for mood and trauma processing – Controlled trials of structured journalling report lasting improvements in mood, insight, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. 
  (Randomized Controlled Trial of Online Expressive Writing to Address Readjustment Difficulties Among U.S. Afghanistan and Iraq War Veterans.” Sayer N. A. et al., Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2015)
• NLP-based trauma tools: The Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) protocol—an NLP technique—took more than 90 % of veterans below PTSD diagnostic thresholds in a controlled trial. 
  (Evaluation of the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories Protocol for the Treatment of PTSD: A Randomized, Wait-List Controlled Trial.” Tylee D. S., Gray R., Glatt S. J., Bourke F., Journal of Military, Veteran & Family Health, 2017)
• Trauma-informed approach: Systematic reviews report that trauma-informed frameworks improve provider competence and patient outcomes across healthcare settings. 
  (Barriers and Enablers for the Implementation of Trauma-Informed Care in Healthcare Settings: A Systematic Review.” Huo Y. et al., Implementation Science Communications, 2023)
  

The core tools you’ll use—breath-led regulation, somatic release, and integration—have solid scientific backing for reducing stress, easing emotional load, and building long-term resilience.
