FAQ
The questions you might not want to ask out loud.
No judgement here, just honest answers.
Exposure and privacy
Will I be on camera? Will I have to talk about my sex life?
Yes, every session, whether Primal Awakening or The Integrated Man, is held over Zoom with your camera on, so I can hold space for you properly. Both are an open space to talk and connect if that's what you need, guided by breath as much as by conversation. Primal Awakening is simply a smaller commitment, 90 minutes rather than an ongoing container. Nothing is ever required of you to share.
Is this confidential? What happens to anything I share?
Yes, completely. Whatever you share with me, whether in a single session, an ongoing 1:1 call, or on a screening form, stays between us. This is a space to speak about anything privately and confidentially.
Are sessions recorded?
No. Nothing is recorded, in Primal Awakening or The Integrated Man.
What actually happens
What's the difference between Primal Awakening and The Integrated Man?
Primal Awakening is a single 90-minute session, complete on its own. The Integrated Man goes much deeper: a four-month, one-to-one container into masculinity, male energy, and what it actually means to become integrated as a man. It isn't simply a series of somatic sessions. Twelve 90-minute sessions, more closely spaced at the start and gradually tapering as the work settles in, include Conscious Connected Breathwork, embodiment and reflection, alongside practices to work with between sessions. Same confidentiality throughout, much more time and depth.
What is Conscious Connected Breathwork?
A dynamic breathing practice, active and rhythmic, designed to move you out of your head and into direct experience of your body. It's one of the primary doorways into this work.
What will I be doing for 90 minutes? Do I need experience?
No experience needed. You're guided through breath, music and reflection throughout. The full breakdown lives on the Primal Awakening page.
What do I need at home?
A private space where you won't be interrupted, a device with a camera for Zoom (best on laptop), comfortable clothing, and headphones, which are essential, not optional. Set aside around 90 minutes, plus a little time afterwards before jumping back into your day.
What if I feel nothing? What if something big comes up?
Both are completely normal, and neither means you're doing it wrong. Whatever arises, there is nothing you need to achieve.
Suitability and safety
Is this suitable for me?
For most men, yes. A short screening happens before every booking to check it's a good fit. See Is This Right For Me for the full picture.
When is this not appropriate right now?
A handful of specific circumstances, things like certain heart conditions, epilepsy, pregnancy or recent surgery, mean it's worth talking it through with me first. The screening form covers this properly, so nothing's assumed either way.
I'm having physical symptoms. Should I see a doctor first?
Yes. Things like chest pain, a racing heart or significant blood pressure changes are worth checking with your GP before booking. This isn't instead of medical care. It's separate from it.
I'm on medication for blood pressure, anxiety or depression
That doesn't automatically rule you out. It's exactly the kind of thing the screening exists to check, so we can be sure it's safe for you specifically.
The work itself
Will this fix my erection problems?
No. This isn't presented as a treatment for erectile difficulties or premature ejaculation, and it isn't medical treatment or therapy. What it offers is a different relationship with your body, your breath and your aliveness. Sometimes that changes more than expected. It's never promised to.
Is this therapy? Coaching? Sexual? Is it tantra?
It's coaching and facilitation, not therapy or medical treatment. And in one real sense, yes, it's sexual: this is an exploration of your sexual energy, your life force, not a suppression of it. What it isn't is physical. There's no touch or contact, you're alone in your own private space throughout, guided by voice. Some of what shapes this work draws on traditions like Taoism and tantra, but the practice itself is Conscious Connected Breathwork.
How many sessions do men usually do?
Primal Awakening works as a single, standalone session. Some men return to it more than once. Others feel ready to go further, into The Integrated Man. There's no set number you're expected to do.
Practical
What does it cost?
Primal Awakening is £160 per session. Pricing for The Integrated Man isn't listed here. Book a free discovery call and we'll talk everything through personally, including the investment, before anything's decided.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
The full terms are in the agreement I send before anything is confirmed. If you need to move a session, just get in touch.
Do you work across time zones outside the UK?
Yes. Sessions can be scheduled to work with most time zones. Just mention yours when you get in touch.
