Get My Free RecordingWhat We Liked, and What to Weigh
There is a lot to like. The price, curriculum and refund terms are published. Named graduates, many of them therapists and nurses, speak for it. Students get written feedback on recorded sessions and pass a clearance before seeing clients.
The guest lectures, from sound to scope of practice, are a real strength. Their Meta ads offer a free private podcast, Breathwork Needs Your Voice, as the first step.
What to weigh: enrollment is closed until November 2026, and it is online only for now. The group program has no one-on-one mentorship. Refunds close 24 hours after you pay.
Our Breathwork certification takes a different route. To feel our style first, get a free recording of one of our live Breathwork classes.
These lessons show where our approach differs, starting with a script you can lean on.
- Opening a Session & the Breathwork Script
- Phrases for Guiding a Session
- Structuring a Session: The Energetic Arc
- Trauma-Informed Facilitation
- Session Rates & Pricing
What we don't teach: We don't teach or certify Breath Liberation Society's Responsible Facilitation Method, or offer their guest lectures on ancestral work and Orisha song and dance. If you need those, train with them.
