Health Disclaimer

Breathwork is not medical treatment

Breathwork, guided meditation, and coaching offered by Nubbia Quezada are wellness practices. They are not medical care, psychotherapy, or psychological treatment, and they are not a substitute for any of these. No outcome, cure, or health result is promised or implied. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health condition, please work with a qualified physician or mental health professional.

Contraindications

Strong, connected breathing practices can temporarily change blood chemistry, heart rate, and blood pressure. Do not participate in active breathwork without written clearance from your physician if any of the following apply to you:

• Pregnancy
• Cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease, arrhythmia, or high blood pressure
• History of stroke, aneurysm, or seizures, including epilepsy
• Glaucoma or detached retina
• Recent surgery or serious physical injury
• Asthma or respiratory conditions (bring your inhaler and inform the facilitator)
• Diagnosed psychiatric conditions, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or a history of psychosis
• Severe PTSD or recent acute trauma without concurrent professional support
• Use of medications that affect blood pressure or seizure threshold

Gentler seated practices may still be available to you. Contact us before registering and we will discuss honestly what is and is not appropriate.

Your responsibility during sessions

You participate voluntarily and at your own discretion. You may soften, slow, or stop your breathing practice at any time, and you are encouraged to do so if you feel unwell. Inform the facilitator of any health conditions before the session begins. Emotional release, including tears, is a normal part of this work; physical distress is not, and should be reported immediately.

Consult a physician

If you are uncertain whether breathwork is appropriate for you, consult your physician before attending. When in doubt, ask first. We would always rather have the honest conversation than sell a ticket.
