Feeling calmer, more connected to yourself and better able to meet everyday challenges: these are some of the breathwork benefits that draw people to conscious breathing. When life feels full, a supported space to pause can offer something valuable—not another task to complete, but an opportunity to notice how you feel.
At NuBreath, Chloe offers trauma-informed conscious connected breathwork with an emphasis on choice, care and personal experience. Originally from East London, she supports people through online sessions worldwide, alongside retreats at Lake Como. Her approach reflects a simple invitation: Breathe, Renew, Transform.
What are the potential breathwork benefits?
Breathwork is an umbrella term for practices that bring attention to breathing. Different approaches have different aims and effects, so a gentle relaxation practice is not interchangeable with a facilitated conscious connected breathwork session.
Many people report feeling more settled, emotionally aware or connected after breathwork. Others find that the main benefit is having protected time away from everyday demands. Experiences vary, and a session does not need to feel dramatic to be meaningful.
Potential benefits people describe include:
- A greater sense of calm: space to step back from the pace of daily life.
- Emotional awareness: an opportunity to notice feelings without immediately trying to solve them.
- Connection with the body: becoming more aware of physical sensations and personal boundaries.
- Mental clarity: time to reflect on what matters and where attention is needed.
- A sense of renewal: feeling supported while making room for rest and self-care.
These are possibilities, not promises. Your experience may be subtle, mixed or different from what you expected—and that deserves respect, too.
What does research say about breathwork?
Research suggests that some breathing practices may help reduce self-reported stress and support mental wellbeing. A 2023 meta-analysis by Fincham and colleagues, published in Scientific Reports, found promising results across randomised controlled trials examining breathwork and mental health.
However, the evidence needs careful interpretation. Studies use different techniques, participant groups and delivery methods, and the quality of the research varies. Findings about one approach cannot automatically be applied to every form of breathwork, including conscious connected breathing.
The honest takeaway is encouraging but measured: breathwork may be a useful wellbeing practice for some people. It is not a guaranteed treatment, and it should not replace medical care, psychological therapy or prescribed medication.
A supported space for emotional awareness
It can be difficult to recognise what you need when you are constantly responding to work, family or other responsibilities. A facilitated session creates time to turn your attention towards your own experience.
Many people report noticing emotions or bodily sensations more clearly during breathwork. That does not mean you need to uncover a hidden story, revisit difficult memories or achieve an emotional release. There is no particular response you are supposed to have.
A trauma-informed approach places importance on safety, consent and choice. You can communicate discomfort, ask questions and choose to pause or stop. Rather than pushing through intensity, the aim is to work within what feels appropriate for you, with support from your facilitator.
What to expect with NuBreath
NuBreath offers 90-minute sessions online via Google Meet, making guided breathwork accessible from wherever you are in the world. A single session costs £60, and packages named Renew, Restore and Transform are also available.
Online access can make it easier to set aside time for yourself without travelling. It is worth considering whether you have a private, comfortable space where you can join without interruptions. You can discuss practical arrangements and any concerns with Chloe beforehand.
For those interested in an in-person experience, NuBreath also offers retreats at Lake Como. A free discovery call is an opportunity to explore the options and ask whether Chloe’s approach feels like a suitable fit, without needing to commit to a session first.
Is conscious connected breathwork right for you?
Conscious connected breathwork can be physically and emotionally activating, and it is not suitable for everyone. People with epilepsy, heart or blood-pressure conditions, pregnancy, serious mental-health conditions or recent surgery should speak with a clinician and Chloe first.
A medical and consent form is completed before sessions. Sharing relevant health information helps inform a conversation about suitability, possible adaptations or whether another kind of support would be more appropriate.
You do not need previous breathwork experience to ask questions or explore your options. Equally, choosing not to take part is a valid decision. Thoughtful preparation and clear boundaries matter more than chasing a particular result.
Make room for your own renewal
Exploring breathwork is not about becoming a different person overnight. It can be a way to give yourself time, attention and compassionate support—and discover whether conscious breathing has a place in your wellbeing routine.
