Question 1

1. What is SOMA Breathwork?

Accepted Answer

SOMA Breathwork is a gentle rhythmic breathing practice that calms your nervous system, reduces stress, and boosts clarity. Each session is guided, safe, and perfect for emotional grounding and reconnecting with yourself.

Question 2

2. Is this course suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. No prior experience with breathwork, meditation or sharing circle is required. Each session is guided, and you’ll be supported every step of the way.

Question 3

3. What will I need for the sessions?

Accepted Answer

A quiet space where you won’t be interrupted

Optional Headphones

A yoga mat or blanket to lie on

Water bottle

An open mind and a willingness to show up for yourself

Question 4

4. How much time does it take each week?

Accepted Answer

The live sharing circle is 60–90 minutes weekly. Breathwork replays are available anytime and can fit into even busy days and take between 20 - 40 minutes.

Question 5

5. Will this be too intense if I’m feeling emotionally fragile or overwhelmed?

Accepted Answer

This journey is designed to meet you where you are, especially if you’re feeling stretched thin, anxious, or lost in the day-to-day of adulthood. This space is designed for tender seasons. You’re always in control, with grounding options offered and a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Question 6

6. What if I miss a session?

Accepted Answer

Life happens — I get it!
No problem. All replays are available inside Skool. You can catch up anytime and still share reflections or questions in the group.

Question 7

7. Can I do this while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

If you are pregnant, please consult your GP first. Modified breathwork (without breath holds or strong physical exertion) will be offered. For breastfeeding mothers, it’s safe — and often deeply restorative — but we encourage you to listen to your body and reach out with any concerns

Question 8

8. Is this a therapy or a coaching program?

Accepted Answer

Held & Heard is not therapy. It’s a trauma-informed self-help community offering breathwork, reflection, and group support. Therapeutic, but not therapy.

Question 9

9. Can I join if I’m not a mum/dad?

Accepted Answer

Yes — while this program is designed with parents in mind, anyone who resonates with the feeling of losing themselves in service of others is welcome. If you're longing to reconnect with the version of yourself beneath the noise — this is for you.

Question 10

Do I have to share during the circle?

Accepted Answer

No. Sharing is always optional. You can simply listen, breathe, and receive until you feel ready.

Question 11

Do I need my camera on?

Accepted Answer

We gently ask all participants to keep their camera on. It helps everyone feel safe, seen, and connected. Being witnessed is part of the healing — and builds the trust that makes this space so supportive.

Question 12

Can I join anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is a rolling, open community. Monthly themes help you start smoothly at any point.

Question 13

Is breathwork really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Weekly breathwork sessions are included for all members inside the community.
