TAKE A BREATH

Is Neurodynamic Breathwork Safe?

When guided by a trained facilitator, in a safe, trauma sensitive and supportive space, NDB is very safe.

 

That said, because breathwork can shift energy, emotions and physiology, there are certain conditions where it is not appropriate, or where professional support is needed.

For your own safety, please carefully and honestly review the below contraindications prior to booking a Neurodynamic class.

If in any doubt, check with your doctor or health practitioner. To book a free 15 minute discovery call, please email Rosalind at info@breathewrite.co.uk

If NDB is not suitable for you, come and enjoy a Breathe & Flow relaxation session incorporating slower, deeper breathing to music.

Be Still, Breathe, Remember

Breathwork is not about pushing, fixing or overriding your system. It’s about surrendering, trusting the process and learning to listen.

The experience is completely powered by you and your breath. You are always in control. You can slow down, rest or stop at any point. There is no ‘right’ way to breathe.

Each session unfolds differently. Nothing is forced, on the contrary we encourage you to soften the body, trust and follow your intuition.

Support is always available during the session.

By choosing to take part, you confirm that you are responsible for your own wellbeing and that you are participating having understood the above.

testimonials

Surrender to the Breath. Trust the Process.

My Neurodynamic Breathwork session with Rosalind was an amazing experience. She took the time to explain everything in detail, creating a space where I felt safe and supported the whole time. The environment was perfect, with all the little touches that made it comfortable and relaxing. The session itself was powerful—I was able to connect with parts of myself I don’t usually notice in daily life. Rosalind was there for me the whole time, attentive and present, which made me feel really cared for. I’m excited to keep going with the breathwork and see where it leads.

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Neurodynamic Breathwork. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe — truly safe — in Rosalind’s calm, gentle presence. The session took me into a profoundly deep state where I was able to see myself and my life from a completely different perspective. It brought clarity, a sense of purpose, and even moments that felt like a personal rebirth. The music was beautifully curated, guiding every sensation and emotion. I felt completely free to move, express, release, and just be, knowing Rosalind was there holding the space with so much kindness. The 60 minutes flew by like five. It was mind-blowing, transformative, and something I honestly can’t wait to experience again. Highly recommended.

My Neurodynamic session was a deeply powerful and heart-opening experience. From the very beginning, I felt safe, held, and guided with such kindness and care. I was able to move through intense physical sensations and emotions — fear, anger, release — and come out the other side with a profound sense of empowerment, relief, and love. It felt like my body was finally allowed to let go of things it had been carrying for a long time. Rosalind has a rare gift. Her presence is gentle yet strong, and you can truly feel the love, integrity, and authenticity she brings into her work. I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply connected to myself and to life. What she offers is something truly special, and I believe her work will touch and support many people in a meaningful way
