Deepen in relationship with consciousness expanding Soul Journey Breathwork through this in-person training, followed by a virtual component of extended support and guidance.
If you have been feeling called to lead others through this transformational modality, or to have a potent tool to incorporate into your current offerings, this training will guide you through all you need to begin sharing this breathwork with others. People have also taken this training for a personal-deepening into transformational breathwork, without a goal to facilitate others.
Common feedback I receive about this breathwork year after year:
“Life changing. Seriously, everything began to shift and expand in my life following that...”
“I had such a magical, powerful experience during the breath work...
one that I always had wanted to experience.”
“So profound.”
“I received clear guidance about my path forward and purpose”
This breathwork is undeniably transformative. It has been interwoven into the core of my work for the last 6+ years in leading others. I am excited to share the tools, techniques, and tips for guiding others through this breath safely, effectively, and - of course - with sacred presence. The breath I share is a three-part rhythmic breath that allows us to access altered states and extra-ordinary states of consciousness. This is an activated journey that shifts the brain chemistry to "get the thinking mind out of the way" and truly experience your infinite self and inner wisdom. This Breathwork supports a deep REmembering of who we really are. Through this shifted state and increased awareness, we can experience greater wholeness, crystal clarity, deeply therapeutic transformation, rapid healing, personal empowerment, and boundless self-exploration.
Some topics we will cover:
Guiding and facilitating others through the 3-part Soul Journey breath
Incorporating breathwork into group practices
Ethics, safety, and guiding principles
Alternate breath patterns and adaptations
Supportive energy medicine to enhance breathwork sessions
Clarifying your own unique facilitation offering
Business tips: insurance, scope of practice, client suitability, etc.
Facilitation tips: preparing, clearing, tuning in, reading energy, wide-field awareness
Creating a container for deep healing
Holding clear, active, compassionate space
Navigating big transformation and breakthroughs within clients
Exercises of deepening in personal growth and working within a group
Opportunities to practice facilitation in action
While this is certainly a training experience of receiving tools, skills, and knowledge, there is also a focus on actively experiencing the breathwork - to be able to hold embodied, rooted space for those we guide through the journey of this breath.

FAQ:
-
Breathwork is ancient, and most of it comes from the East. The Breath has been worked with as a ceremonial tool across many cultures for longer than we can track. The breath I share is a rhythmic 3-part breath (belly, heart, exhale) that was popularized in the West by David Elliott - who received it from Tim Heath - who received it from a name-not-known indigenous pranayama teacher. I was first introduced to this particular breathwork by the potent facilitation of Marianne Mitchell. I had previously been a student of breath and meditation for years prior, but this particular breath opened a great infinite pathway for me. I have been facilitating this specific breath since 2018. Each breathwork facilitator offers a unique energetic imprint of breath and facilitation. I am excited to share my way of being in relationship with this ancient modality.

If you choose to complete the requirements for certification (including practicum listed above), and attend the entire training, yes - you will receive certification. Certification programs for breathwork exist on a wide spectrum from a handful of hours in an online course to years of in person training. There is no licensing body for breathwork, so it is technically a field of work with no legal authority on defined requirements of practice or certification. Simply put… anyone can give a piece of paper that certifies anyone for breathwork… and, anyone can technically practice without certification.
It is up to personal discernment to assess our own readiness and responsibility to facilitate others. I offer training and certification from a place of deep devotion to both transformational experiences being accessible, and also honoring our internal compass for right-relationship of practicing this potent modality.
The certification I offer does qualify you to receive professional insurance, if you choose that for your practice.

I share this training as a culmination of the insight received from working with hundreds of breathers over the last 5+ years. Offering transformational healing spaces has been my sole (soul) work, and full-time devotion since 2017. I have been in entrepreneurial healing work since 2012… with an energy healing and massage therapy practice. I have formal training and certification in this particular breathwork, on top of the real-life practical training of leading others in it.
I have a degree in teaching adult learners and developing training programs. So, as much as my work and passion is rooted in the sacred, the logistical part of me appreciates the depth of the linear inner-workings of trainings. Prior to moving to Asheville and shifting to full-time entrepreneurship, I was an adjunct professor teaching a 1,000 hour massage therapy program. All of this to say - I love to teach and create trainings. I am so excited to share this experience, with deep roots in both that which is linear and that which lives only in the sacred.
