BREATHWORK PRACTITIONER TRAINING

Get Certified as a Professional Breathwork Facilitator and Take Your Practice to the Next Level

Discover the Power of Breath.

Are you called to working with the breath? Many of those called to this breathwork training feel it instinctively: the breath holds the key to unlocking a deeper sense of peace, presence, and purpose. Whether you’re a therapist, coach, healer, or simply someone on a personal journey, this breathwork training invites you to slow down, reconnect and meet yourself and others in a more embodied, meaningful way.

Transform Lives – Including Your Own

Breathwork is more than a technique – it’s a profound path to healing, self-awareness, and transformation. Our students come seeking more than skills. They come with a desire to serve others, to understand the body-mind connection, and to offer something truly transformative in their work. Breathwork has the unique power to access places that words alone cannot reach, especially for those living with anxiety, trauma, or emotional disconnection. As talking therapy reaches its limits, the breath becomes the bridge to deeper healing.

By training in conscious breathwork, you gain more than a new modality. You gain a toolkit for life – to navigate stress, access your inner stillness, and show up for your clients and community with clarity and confidence. Whether you want to run groups, support individuals, expand your therapeutic practice, or simply grow as a human being, our training provides the structure, support and inspiration to take that next step.

Why Breathwork?

We’re living through a time that urgently calls for change – not just in how we live, but in how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world around us. We need to birth a new story of how to live, where humans are once more in balance with the natural world. Breathwork offers a deeply personal yet collective path forward to support this evolution, helping us shed old patterns, heal trauma, and remember who we truly are: conscious,  connected and divine beings capable of living with more presence, compassion, and clarity. 

In choosing to train as a breathwork facilitator, you’re answering a call –  to heal, to grow, and to support others in doing the same. Breathwork is accessible, inclusive and needed now more than ever. With its rising popularity, growing scientific support and global recognition, there’s never been a better time to step into this work.

A Globally Recognised, Accredited Training Backed by Science

This 9-month, 400-hour breathwork training is accredited by both the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and the Complementary Medical Association, offering you a professional certification that is both globally recognised and grounded in ethical, trauma-informed practice. As breathwork continues to grow in popularity and scientific credibility, our comprehensive programme ensures you’re trained to the highest standards. You’ll explore the science and spiritual aspects of Conscious Connected Breathwork, learn to facilitate safe and impactful sessions for individuals and groups and receive expert guidance in building a practice that is both healing and sustainable. With a blend of online and in-person learning, personal mentoring and a strong supportive community, you’ll be fully equipped to step into this work with confidence and clarity.

John Paul Mason

John Paul Mason – Lead Trainer

Founder of Breathing Journeys, John Paul brings a depth of experience from over 15 years of immersive training and client work in Conscious Connected Breathwork. His approach draws from multiple international traditions, blending the scientific with the spiritual. John Paul is passionate about making breathwork accessible, and has taught hundreds of therapists, coaches, and individuals how to bring this powerful healing modality into their lives and work. He creates a grounded, compassionate learning environment that honours both professional integrity and personal transformation.

Deborah Maddison – Trainer

Deborah found Breathwork during her long recovery journey after medical retirement from the Royal Navy in her late 20s. Anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and complex PTSD had swamped her, but through Breathwork and TRE® (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises, her other main modality) she steadily found herself becoming more grounded, more safely embodied, and more alive, more herself. They continue to help her maintain a deeper connection to herself and life.

Deborah is passionate about holding safe space for clients to reconnect to themselves, through Breathwork and TRE®. The trauma work, deeply informs how she works with Breathwork, ensuring she brings a slow, calm, regulated presence to client sessions (a “safe mother” energy).

She offers this work with love, kindness, and compassion to all those who are drawn. She finds her work as a Breathwork Trainer profoundly rewarding, supporting the Breathwork Practitioners of the future to become not only skilled professionals, but to dive deeply into their own healing journeys along the way.

Deborah of Breathing Journeys
John Paul Mason and Deborah Maddison

We welcome you!

Together, John Paul and Deborah offer over 20 years of combined experience in breathwork and trauma support. They very much enjoy passing on this experience to others and are dedicated to guiding you with care, clarity, and encouragement through what may become one of the most rewarding journeys of your life.

FAQs

Yes. This programme will train you and prepare you to offer breathwork to all your clients, including individuals and groups. It will also teach you how to identify your specialty, and incorporate that niche into your current offerings, as well as help you to effectively market your new breathwork sessions.

Upon completion you will be certified as a Breathwork Practitioner by Breathing Journeys and able to guide clients through deeply healing sessions in a trauma-informed way, using Conscious Connected Breathing. This training has been certified by both the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and Complementary Medical Association. You will also be able to join the International Breathwork Foundation as a Practitioner.

This training is designed to provide you with the skills to effectively and confidently facilitate both online and in person sessions.  Most of the training can be taken online but to become fully certified for in person breathwork sessions you must attend both the second and final modules in person in Scotland.

In addition to attending the live modules and calls you will need to maintain a personal breathwork practice, take part in discussions on the course platform, take 3 clients through a series of paid breathwork sessions, run 3 group sessions, review 3 books from the reading list and complete a personal assignment to support your business as a breathwork practitioner. You must also have received 5 one:one breathwork sessions with a qualified breathwork practitioner. You can read the full completion requirements here.

You will need to commit to all training modules within the course, six of the groups Q&A calls and 6 of the group breathwork sessions. If any of the live training days are missed they can either be repeated at a future date or alternatively, the trainer can support you on a one-one basis to complete the material missed, for an additional fee of £90/hr. All of the live sessions are recorded, so you will be able to use these to help catch up. You must attend both in-person modules to become certified.

Monthly Q&A calls will be at 5-6.30 pm one Wednesday per month. You are required to attend a minimum of 6 calls. All calls will be recorded.

Monthly group practice sessions will be at 5-7 pm one Wednesday per month. You are required to attend a minimum of 6 sessions. All sessions will be recorded.

Lots! The feedback we receive from graduates is a testament to the high level of support we provide on this training and mentoring program. A breathwork training is very much a deep personal journey, which is why at Breathing Journeys we only work with a maximum of 12 students at a time.  In addition to the live sessions where you can ask questions and get feedback, there are the monthly group Q&A calls, plus individual one-one mentoring calls with John Paul or Deborah. You also get email support whenever you need it and there is a WhatsApp group where you can post questions any time. Finally, whenever you need extra support, we are there for you.

The spiritual element to breathwork is fundamental to the process and it’s where we teach from. Although our understanding of the science of breathwork is always improving and many of the benefits of Breathwork are now being researched and proven, when we work through the breath, we are connecting to our life energy/spirit/prana/chi. This is why in many cultures (including our own) the breath is known as spirit or soul. This life energy knows exactly what is needed for healing. Unfortunately in ‘the west’ we seem to have created a split between mind and body, science and spirit. For us at Breathing Journeys, the work we do is fundamentally about supporting people to fully be here, as spirit in material form, expressing life as it moves through us. When traumas are resolved, conditioning dissolved and imprinting cleared, life’s creative force is able to flow more freely with all the gifts that brings.

There are two investments to be made on the training: your time investment, and your monetary investment. For this 9-month training your time investment is at least 400 hours. There may be more time invested if you wish to do more home study and practice, or re-watch the recorded content as the programme progresses, as all recorded lessons are available for you as needed.

Other 400-hour multi-level training opportunities with this degree of live teaching are frequently sold for upwards of £6,000. But for the entire 9-month, 400-hour certification programme through breathing Journeys, you’ll only be asked to invest £4,497.

There is an additional cost for accommodation and meals for the two in person residential modules. For rooms on a twin share basis, please allow £660 for Module 2 and £580 for the final graduation module. Single supplements apply. We endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible.

It is also a completion requirement that you have received a minimum of 5 breathwork sessions from a qualified practitioner. Some participants may have already done this prior to the training while for others this will be an additional cost (approx £60-£120 or more per session depending on practitioner).

In addition to the monthly live modules and calls you will need to allow an average of 5-6 hours per week for your own breathwork practice, client case study work, reading and assignments.

Yes! We understand it may be difficult to put down £4,497 right now, so we can offer payment plans tailored to suit your needs. Payments can be spread over 6, 9 or 12 months – contact us for further information.

So to recap…

This 9-month training comprises 400 hours of learning. Over the course of the programme you’ll learn how to facilitate breathwork sessions to heal individuals and groups of trauma, increase their connections with themselves and others, the theory and history of breathwork as well as the practical applications. 

You’ll also get support for your business, including marketing training and ongoing access to all the recordings of your live sessions, as well as Q&A calls, so you can have access to the information you need, even after the course ends. 

You’ll get 7 live training modules, and through a combination of online and live sessions you’ll be able to:

  • Experience the profound possibilities for your life and work through Conscious Connected Breathing
  • Implement a truly holistic approach to wellbeing traversing the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of experience
  • Gain an in-depth theoretical understanding and practical application of breathwork as a profound healing modality to help your clients
  • Practise a safe and effective way of working with deep trauma and other long term issues
  • Integrate breathwork into any other therapeutic approach you currently practise
  • Develop your intuition and inner wisdom and deepen your capacity to hold space for a client
  • Enjoy a new modality to offer your clients and earn income from
  • Find greater presence in both your work and everyday life
  • Experience a highly supported personal journey to make the shifts you need to in your own life
  • Discover your own unique way of bringing breathwork into the world for good

And you’ll do all this in a small group of only 12 students, allowing you to get a higher level of personal attention from John Paul and Deborah, and making it even easier to succeed.
