Grounded, trauma-aware training in sound healing and somatic breathwork, designed to support you in becoming a confident, safe, and embodied facilitator.

In these trainings, you’ll learn how to work with breath, sound, nervous system regulation, and emotional safety — so you can guide others with clarity, compassion, and professional presence.

This is not about performance or intensity.
It’s about developing the skills, awareness, and integrity needed to hold space responsibly.

Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
You’re invited to grow and develop in your own rhythm.

Sound healing certification

This training is available both in person and online, with the same depth, content, and supportive learning experience. (Online formats simply run over a different time structure to allow for integration and accessibility.)

This certification gives you a grounded, comprehensive understanding of how sound supports the body, mind, and nervous system. You’ll learn the theory, science, and techniques behind sound healing, how sound interacts with emotions and the subtle body, and how to use instruments with intention, safety, and purpose.

Alongside the practical skills, you’ll also deepen your intuition, presence, and your own relationship with sound, so you can guide others with clarity, confidence, and heart.

By the end of the training, you’ll be able to confidently guide sound healing sessions for individuals and groups.

Somatic breathwork certification

This training is available in person and online, offering the same depth and supportive learning experience. The online format simply follows a different schedule to allow time for integration.

You’ll learn how to guide breathwork safely, gently, and from a trauma-aware perspective.

The training covers breath physiology, nervous system responses, emotional processing through breath, session structure, ethics, and professional boundaries. You’ll also develop your presence, confidence, and ability to hold space, so you can support others with clarity and care.

After completing the training, you’ll be able to guide trauma-aware breathwork sessions for individuals and groups safely and responsibly.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Why this training
is different

This training isn’t about pushing intensity, performing healing, or following rigid formulas.

It’s about learning how to hold space responsibly — with presence, awareness, and respect for the nervous system.

The approach is:

  • Gentle, not forceful

  • Grounded, not “woo-woo”

  • Emotionally aware, not overwhelming

  • Human, not hierarchical

You’ll learn to slow down, listen, and trust your own presence — because the way you are with people matters just as much as what you do.

You’re not taught to perform healing.

You’re supported in becoming the space where healing can safely happen.

What participants often share

Every journey into facilitation looks different. What matters most is learning to hold space with care, presence, and integrity.

“I came in feeling unsure if I was ‘ready’ to guide others. The training helped me trust my presence and understand that safety and awareness matter more than doing everything perfectly.”

— From a first-time facilitator

“Even online, the training felt personal and supportive. The pacing allowed me to integrate what I was learning instead of rushing through it. I felt guided every step of the way.”

If you feel called…

You don’t need to feel fully ready.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.

Often, the first step into facilitation begins with a quiet sense of knowing.

If you feel drawn to holding space with care, presence, and responsibility, this training may be the next step for you.

You’re welcome to explore it — and begin when it feels right.
