“I have learned that the main skill of facilitating Healing Breathwork is to learn how to get out of the way and be guided by Spirit, God, or Life Force Energy. This is not scientific training on the physiognomy of the breath. The course will offer some theoretical aspects …but the magic is in the practice!”

From Individuals to Groups: Begin Your Breathwork Facilitation Journey

This Level 1 training focuses on building a strong foundation for guiding one-to-one breathwork sessions. Mastering the techniques, holding space, and supporting individuals is essential before expanding to group facilitation.

​

Once you’ve gained confidence and experience—typically after 20 to 40 practice sessions—you’ll be ready to take the next step. That’s where Level 2: Group Facilitation Training comes in, focusing on the unique dynamics, challenges, and techniques for guiding groups.

​

Currently, Level 2 training is available privately upon request for past students. During your discovery call, feel free to ask about Level 2 options or upcoming plans. Tentative in-person training dates for Level 2 are planned for April, June, and September 2025—details will be announced soon.
