Listen, I didn’t know how to breathe. That’s what started the whole thing.
I’d been practicing yoga since I was 13, but I didn’t realise I was holding my breath, losing my centre, until 20 years later.
Crazy, right?
People tend to misinterpret the importance of breath. They don’t understand it’s the beginning of everything, especially healing.
If you’re not breathing, you’re not present. Your mind is spinning out somewhere else. You’re not getting the benefit of the work you’re trying to do to de-stress.
I figured it out when I read A Life Worth Breathing, by Max Strom. I was 33 years old. It inspired me so much, I tracked him down and took his advanced teacher training. Then I ran with it. That was 12 years ago.
I’ve been teaching yoga for 22 years, Pilates for 17 years and meditation for a decade. To me, these are the tools to support healing from all sorts of trauma: emotional, physical, and mental. They are gentle and easy to implement.
And that’s what I wanted for myself.
Movement and play were responsible for my mental health in Northern Ireland, starting at a very young age. I saw no reason to stop as an adult.
As the world wakes up to the potential of these modalities, I’m thrilled to be able to offer breathwork facilitator training to you.
It’s my most sincere hope that we blanket the world with breathwork. We have enough medication and talk therapy already.

BREATHWORK
FACILITATOR TRAINING
- The first thing to know about my facilitator training is this is not a yoga course. And it’s open to anyone who has an interest in working with clients (1:1 or groups) to help support and heal trauma.
- You don’t need equipment and large amounts of money to get going. You learn the tools and then you and your clients start to feel better fast.
- Breathwork is one of the most cutting edge and impactful ways to support people. And it doesn’t take as long as yoga or pilates teacher training either.
- I teach a variety of breathwork styles to support all clients. This is not a one-size-fits-all training.
- This is a four-month, accredited, 100-hour training to certify you as a breathwork facilitator.
Now for the nitty-gritty:
This CIMSPA endorsed and IPHM accredited qualification teaches the skills, knowledge and competence required of an individual in order to work with clients on specific breathing techniques in both 1:1 or group sessions.
