The Journey

Breathwork is one of the most profound healing modalities of our time.

This certification was built for those called to guide others - with clinical rigour, deep empathy, and the confidence that comes from truly knowing your craft. You'll leave not just certified, but transformed.

Who This Is For

Ready to lead from a place of grounded expertise?

This programme is for coaches, therapists, healers, and wellness professionals who want to integrate the power of breathwork into their practice - and for those who feel called to breathwork as their primary modality.

01

Trauma-Informed Practice

Learn to hold space safely for all nervous system states, including complex trauma presentations.

02

Science-Backed Methods

Grounded in polyvagal theory, neuroscience, and somatic psychology - so you can explain the why behind every practice.

03

Business Ready

Build a sustainable facilitation practice with ethical frameworks, client onboarding tools, and marketing guidance.

04

Ongoing Support

Community mentorship, live supervision calls, and access to your cohort long after graduation.

05

Real Facilitation Hours

Graduate with documented practice hours, client case studies, and a portfolio that proves your competence.

This is for you if:

  • You want a trauma-informed foundation, not a "break people open" approach
  • You care about ethics, consent, and staying within scope
  • You're willing to be supervised and coached
  • You want to build confidence through repetition, not pep talks
  • You can commit to a steady 6-month rhythm, plus the in-person intensive

This is NOT for you if:

  • Want a quick certificate with minimal practice
  • Want a high-intensity, performance-based style of facilitation
  • Aren’t willing to receive feedback or be supervised
  • Can’t commit to the weekly rhythm and the required case studies
  • Want breathwork training as a substitute for personal therapy or mental health care
  • Are currently in acute crisis or need a higher level of clinical support than a training environment can provide

The art of facilitation is simple, but not easy: stay present, soften your agenda, and trust the process.

How the Training Works

This training is built around learning, practice, and supervision, so you’re not just collecting information, you’re building capacity.

1) Learn the foundations (training).

You’ll learn the Level 1 session structure, screening basics, scope, pacing, and what to do with common responses in the room.

2) Practice with structure (reps).

You’ll run practice sessions using the same repeatable framework so you get competent through repetition, not improvisation.

3) Get supervised feedback (integration + standards).

You’ll be observed and guided so you know what’s working, what’s risky, and what to tighten.

4) Complete requirements (certification-ready).

If you want certification, you’ll follow the requirements listed below. If you need more time, you’ll get clarity on what’s missing.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

I’m not sure I’m “ready” to hold space for others.

Will this still work for me?

Yes. This training is the bridge between where you are and where you want to be.

You’ll build your confidence through embodied practice, mentorship, and real facilitation reps - all in a safe, supportive environment.

What if I don’t want to become a full-time facilitator?

That’s completely fine. Many students join to deepen their own healing, add breathwork to an existing skillset, or simply follow a soul call.

Whether you want to lead retreats or just show up more present in your life - this training meets you where you are.

How much time do I need per week?

About 5-6 hours per week.

The content is pre-recorded and flexible, and live calls are recorded if you can’t attend in real time.

You’ll never fall behind.

What makes this different from other breathwork certifications?

Most training teaches you techniques.

Journey the Breath trains your nervous system, your presence, and your ability to guide from embodiment - not performance.

Plus, you’ll get hands-on experience, real feedback, and a proven method to follow.

What happens after the 200HR certification?

You’ll be certified and ready to confidently guide 1:1 and group breathwork sessions right away. And your journey doesn’t have to stop there - you’ll continue to receive six months of post-certification support, including mentorship and community connection.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear from our students

"It’s difficult to put into words just how profoundly this course has influenced my personal growth. To give a sense of the transformation, I can reflect on who I was six months ago compared to where I am now.

For most of my adult life, I lived in my mind, constantly

questioning every decision, worrying about what others thought and thought of me, striving to overachieve, and people-pleasing at the expense of my own needs. This cycle fed a deep-rooted pattern of self-loathing, self-doubt, and self-criticism. I masked my struggles,

pretending everything was fine, while battling an inner turmoil that few could see.

Now, as the course comes to an end, I find myself in a completely different space. My mind is more peaceful than it has ever been, and for the first time, I genuinely like and love myself. I feel worthy of love and connection, something I struggled to believe in the past. This

experience has taught me how to embrace self-compassion and live in the present, freeing me from the constant worry and pressure to perform. I now appreciate each moment for what it is, which has given me more time and a sense of calm that I hadn’t thought possible. This journey has allowed me to let go of old patterns and

embrace who I am, opening the door to a life that feels more fulfilling, balanced, and true."

- Keith Bradley

It has shifted my perspective and outlook on life and gave me a new sense of direction and vision. It encouraged me to

connect more deeply to my true self and to follow my heart. DO IT!

Sign up- it has been the best decision I made this year. You will reap the rewards- connection, community, friendships, knowledge, skills and an opportunity to meet yourself in new and meaningful ways”

- Carol Devine

"It was one of the first group settings where I felt safe and accepted. I would also see it in other people showing up or saying similar. I was hoping to find some honest and profound connections in Ireland, and I was surprised how deep people would connect.

My main “circle” in Ireland before was around the horse rescue, where we mostly deal with “the dark side” or lack. This course changed my whole feeling about the country and how open people are towards honest, deep and real connections."

- Manuela Gehrig

"The training has given me the theory, the practical knowledge, the community, the support and the confidence to hold space as a breathwork facilitator. It has helped me develop a daily practice and a range of tools that I can use to cope with overwhelm, stress and difficulty. My sense of purpose and self esteem have grown through being of service to others.I have found inspiration, loving kindness and great fun and laughter from my new friends on the course. I am sure some connections will last long beyond the graduation."

- Steve Dawe

The world needs more
skilled, safe breathwork facilitators.

Every breath is a chance to come home. Every facilitator we train is a gift to
the people they'll serve. This could be your next step.
