Health & Wellness Disclaimer

Please read this disclaimer carefully before taking part in any breathwork session, course, workshop, or content offered by Global Breathing Awareness (GBA), online or in person.

We are not medical professionals

Our facilitators and coaches are breathwork practitioners. They are not doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, or licensed healthcare providers. Nothing on this website or in our sessions is medical or psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

About the name "Rebirth Breath Therapy"

"Rebirth Breath Therapy" is the name of our breathwork method. It is not psychotherapy, psychological treatment, or medical therapy, and our facilitators are not licensed psychologists or medical practitioners.

Not a substitute for therapy or medical care

Breathwork as offered by GBA is not psychotherapy or medical treatment, and it does not replace either one. It is a complementary practice that supports mental and physical well-being. If you are receiving medical or psychological care, please continue to follow your provider's guidance. Do not stop or change any medication or treatment because of anything you learn or experience with us.

Consult your healthcare provider first

If you have any physical or mental health condition, current or in your past, please speak with your doctor, therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider before starting breathwork.

Who should not take part, or should get medical clearance first

Breathwork can bring on strong physical and emotional responses. It is not recommended, or should only be practised with your doctor's approval, if you have or have had:

• Cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, or a history of heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm
• Epilepsy or any seizure disorder
• Pregnancy
• Glaucoma or retinal detachment
• Recent surgery or injury
• Severe asthma or other significant respiratory conditions
• Osteoporosis
• Psychosis, hallucinations, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or any condition that affects your perception of reality
• Severe or unresolved trauma, PTSD, or a history of serious mental health crises
• Any other serious physical or mental health condition

If you are unsure whether breathwork is right for you, please do not take part until you have spoken with a qualified professional.

Your responsibility

Your participation is voluntary, and you take part at your own risk. You are responsible for your own health and well-being during and after each session. If you feel unwell, dizzy, faint, in pain, or overwhelmed at any point, inform your facilitator immediately and follow their instructions.

Never practise breathwork while driving, or in any situation where losing focus or consciousness could be dangerous.

Never practise breathwork in or near water without the support of at least two certified and capable facilitators.
