THE PRANAHANA LLC: CLIENT AGREEMENT & INFORMED CONSENT

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The PranaHana LLC provides breathwork facilitation and nervous system regulation techniques. These services include guided breathing exercises, somatic adjustments, and mindfulness practices designed to support your mind and body. Services are delivered via 1:1 sessions, group workshops, and specialized classes.

2. EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

I am a certified Breathwork Facilitator trained in supporting the human nervous system through various stages of life and stress. My practice focuses on using conscious breathing to facilitate emotional regulation, physical relaxation, and mental clarity.

3. SCOPE OF PRACTICE (NOT MEDICAL ADVICE)

Nothing about Breathwork advice or coaching should be taken as medical advice. I act as a guide to help you use your breath to facilitate self-healing. I may offer suggestions regarding physical and mental health—in the form of suggested exercises or daily practices—but such information is merely intended for educational and informational purposes. I do not profess legitimate medical expertise, and no recommendations should be regarded as medical diagnosis or treatment. For qualified advice regarding medical questions, please consult medical professionals.

4. CONTRAINDICATIONS & SAFETY

Breathwork is a powerful healing modality. While usually a deeply relaxing and enjoyable process, it can result in specific physiological changes in the body and intense physical or emotional release. Please be aware that sessions can cause: tingling, dizziness, trembling, shaking, emotional experiences, or the sensation of energy moving through the body.

As a precaution, the following conditions are contraindicated for intense Breathwork:

  • Pregnancy (First trimester and after 26 weeks)

  • Cardiovascular disease (including angina, previous heart attack, or stroke)

  • Diagnosis of aneurysm in the brain or abdomen

  • High Blood Pressure (not controlled with medication)

  • Detached Retina or Glaucoma

  • Uncontrolled thyroid conditions and diabetes

  • Respiratory Issues / Asthma

  • Epilepsy / Seizures

  • Prior diagnosis of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or previous psychiatric condition

  • Hospitalization for any psychiatric condition or emotional crisis within the last 10 years

SAFETY PRECEPT: Never conduct breathwork activities in places where losing consciousness is extremely dangerous (e.g., in water, standing, while driving, etc.).

5. SOMATIC ADJUSTMENTS & THERAPEUTIC TOUCH

During our sessions, I may offer somatic adjustments. This involves skilled, non-sexual, and intentional touch designed to support your breathing mechanics, help you ground, or assist in the release of physical tension.

  • Consent: Touch is always optional. I will ask for verbal consent before any physical contact occurs.

  • Right to Refuse: You have the right to refuse or ask me to stop touch at any time for any reason.

  • Non-Sexual: Any touch provided is strictly therapeutic. Inappropriate behavior will result in immediate termination of the session with no refund.

6. WAIVE AND RELEASE

It is each participant’s responsibility to look after their own physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. By booking any session or workshop, you accept the following waiver:

“I understand that if I have any medical conditions, including but not limited to those contraindicated above, I must advise the facilitator. I certify that I have consulted a health professional regarding any condition that could interfere with my health during or after a session. I am fully responsible for all risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which might occur as a result of my participation and hereby waive and release the facilitator and The PranaHana LLC from any claim or cause of action related to my participation. I voluntarily accept this waiver.”

7. PAYMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY

  • Payment: Fees are due prior to the start of the session.

  • Cancellation: I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed sessions are non-refundable.
