Breathwork is evidence-based and highly effective.
It is one of the fastest-growing trends in wellness, being featured in the media now more than ever.
Breathwork coaches are about to be in high demand.
- 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, develop your own unique teaching voice, and create an elevated experience that leaves people talking.

Breathwork changed everything for me—how I move, how I think, and how I show up in my life. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have, and my mission is to make it practical, science-backed, and accessible for everyone. I believe that your health is directly related to how you breathe. 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.
