Privacy and Confidentiality Policy

Your privacy, trust, and safety are very important to me. This policy explains how I handle your personal information, both online and in breathwork sessions.

Mailing list and personal information

When you join my mailing list, I collect only the information you choose to provide, such as:

• Your name

• Your email address

I use this information to:

• Send updates about sessions, workshops, and events

• Share relevant resources, practices, or information about breathwork

• Let you know about any changes to services or policies

I will never sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in my emails or by contacting me directly.

Confidentiality in sessions

What you share during breathwork sessions is treated as confidential.

This means:

• I do not disclose the personal details you share in sessions without your permission, unless legally required

• Any notes I keep are used only to support your sessions and are stored securely

• Your identity and personal story are treated with respect and care

There are rare situations where I may be legally or ethically required to break confidentiality, such as:

• If there is a serious and immediate risk of harm to you or someone else

• If required by law or court order

Where possible, I will always aim to discuss this with you first.

How your information is stored

• Contact details and session notes are stored as securely as reasonably possible

• Information is kept only for as long as necessary to provide services, meet legal obligations, or as otherwise agreed

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Ask what information I hold about you

• Request corrections if any details are inaccurate

• Ask for your details to be removed from my mailing list or records, where legally and practically possible

To make a request or ask a question about privacy or confidentiality, please contact me directly.
