PREREQUISITE - This is a facilitator training of Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB), and a huge commitment to yourself and the people you will be working with. It is essential that you experience CCB before applying for the training to know what is involved.
CCB can be a very deep process which may bring forth strong emotions, sensations, memories, and may show us our unhealthy behavioural and relating patterns. We may be faced with the shadow aspects/unhealed aspects of ourself and others. It can be a completely life changing experience. But it certainly isn’t for everyone.
It is important that you try a series of CCB sessions, either with myself or another experienced practitioner in 1:1 sessions, or in a group, to really know what can happen during these sessions .There are many options available in UK to try CCB, and I can also recommend practitioners if you wish.
It is important that participants make the decision to join the training from their body, not just from the mind. It also means that you can really commit to supporting others, and have an idea of the emotional maturity required to hold space for others.
2x 5 day Practical In-Person training modules, as well as live online training and mentoring calls.

Final assessment will be based upon full attendance, practice session feedback, self study and development. Participants have a total of 2 years to complete all assignments.
This training is open to a small group (maximum10 participants) who can commit to the entire facilitator training, who have the emotional stability and maturity to enter a training which can bring strong emotions and transformation. This training is limited to a small group to create a safe container and support system.
The training combines Breathwork, Movement and Embodiment practices, Self Inquiry, and Meditation which must be developed into self-practice by the trainee facilitator to then be able to effectively share it with others.
This training is focused on cultivating heart centred presence, safety, clear communication, and the skills to guide and support the deep physical and emotional release which can occur in a therapeutic breathwork session, as well as the ongoing process of transformation which your clients may be experiencing.
The training is trauma informed and will show you how to support trauma release and integration, as well as how to work with an individual who is experiencing an unprocessed trauma response. You will also learn how to support individual nervous systems and resilience levels.
Please contact Natalie for more detailed info about this training program. We ask that you are able to commit to the full training program, complete an application form, and have a video intake call with Natalie before you are accepted on to the training.
This training is designed to support you to become a confident and fully competent, compassionate breathwork facilitator. By the end of the training you will be able to support individual in-person breathwork sessions and group sessions in-person and online with a trauma informed approach.
Live (in-person) Training Content - A Brief Overview
We can only support our clients into the depths which we, ourselves have experienced.
The first weeks of the training are all about YOU! We focus on your self development through breathwork, meditation, radical self honesty, feeling, identifying, communication and self inquiry. We look at the thought and behavioural patterns which have been constructed over the years, as well as coping mechanisms, protection strategies, the shadow-self, and the way we interact with others. As we begin to make internal space through shifting the long held tension in our own bodies, we become more present, embodied, grounded and more comfortable with stillness. We learn self reflection and how to listen to the language of our bodies. We connect with intuition and creativity. As you learn to hold space for yourself, you learn to hold the sacred space for others.
We also focus on collective care. The power of processing together in a group can not be underestimated. We learn how to actively listen and support our fellow participants in the way we, ourselves would like to be supported. We look at boundaries, consent, regulation/co-regulation and resource.
Alongside the experiential work of breathwork, meditation, and inquiry, we learn the fundamentals of being a space holder and supporting others.
We learn about trauma, how it can show up in a session, and how it can be supported. We learn about energetic hygiene, self care as a facilitator, posture and positioning, ethics and contraindications.
We explore various forms of touch and bodywork. What to say and how to listen. Appropriate interventions. Empathy, resonance, pendulation, titration and integration.
Integration of spiritual experiences, expanded states of awareness and the healing crisis.
Alternative breathwork techniques to support the individuals nervous system.
As the training progresses, we continue to work with 1:1 sessions, we will also start to introduce breathing together with a partner and group work - supporting a circle. Sacred ceremony, opening and closing the container. You will have the opportunity to assist in supporting the group. Start to find your uniqueness as a space holder - who am I? What do I stand for? Passion? Skills? You will start to refine and develop your own unique way of sharing breathwork.
Alongside our breathwork, meditation and self inquiry explorations, we enter into the group facilitation module of the training. Each participant creates and facilitates a group session, whilst others assist. Each student facilitator will receive feedback from the group.
Online Training and Support
Throughout the training you will be working with your own clients in practice sessions and keeping a record of your own experiences as a facilitator, as well as the experiences of the client. We will meet online 2-3 times each month to discuss any questions you may have, discoveries, insights, progress and uncertainties, as well as learning the theory of breathwork, and how to support an online session.
We will meet in individual online mentor sessions as well as group sessions.
You are very welcome to contact Natalie at info@evolvebreathbody.com to receive an information pack and application form, or arrange a call to meet and ask any questions you may have.
