This course is for you if...
You’re ready for a deep dive into the science of breathwork- exploring its physiological effects, biomechanics, and health benefits.
You want to master the art of facilitation- learning how to hold space, curate playlists, and design powerful breathwork sessions.
You’re a healthcare professional looking to integrate breathwork as a healing modality in your practice.
You’re someone who simply wants to understand breathwork on a deeper level- whether for personal growth or professional use.
- There was something missing in breathwork certifications- so I created it.
It started when I received a handful of DMs on Instagram from health coaches asking me for a science-based breathwork course where they could get certified- and I had nowhere to send them.
Most trainings either just taught a method or lacked a deeper understanding of the breath’s vital role in healthcare.
So, I built it.
Inspire Functional Breathwork isn’t about memorizing one specific technique. It’s about understanding the principles and science of breathwork so you can apply them to any method, any person, and any scenario.
You’ll learn multiple breathing techniques, the science behind them, and how to use breath as a tool for healing.
But breathwork is more than science—it can be an experience. That’s why this program also teaches the art of facilitation: how to hold space for others, curate a playlist, and develop your own unique teaching voice.

Completing this course has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The content is thoughtfully structured and easy to absorb, making the learning journey very engaging. I really enjoyed the live calls which provided a deep dive into key topics as well as guided breathworks. While teaching breathwork initially felt intimidating, the guidance and practical tools offered throughout the course gave me the confidence to begin sharing this work with others. I highly recommend this training to anyone curious about teaching breathwork or just looking to deepen their own understanding of the breath and nervous system.

It is also my belief that as an integral part of our health, more people should be educated on how to use the breath for health, performance, and recovery.
