Don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@ebbflowstudio.nl if you have any questions or concerns. Please let us know if you have any (other) physical or psychological condition(s) we should know about so that we can optimally support you.

And please be mindful: breathwork is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. Sometimes it brings to the surface things we would be wise to pay attention to and perhaps need more support in than breathwork can offer. If this is the case for you, please consult your doctor, general practitioner or therapist.
