Breathwork for Recovery offers a one-of-a-kind 800-hour Breathwork Clinician Certification (BCC) that is a hybrid of online coursework and in-person hands-on facilitation, to be completed in either 2 or 4 years with a time commitment of around 33 hours of work per month. All work until graduation is to be completed virtually.

I will be teaching a 2-hour module on gender and identity, offering clinicians an accessible and expansive understanding of what gender is (and is not), the white supremacist roots of the gender binary, and how to identify and work with constructs related to gender roles and expectations. Attendees also will receive practical tools for confidently and respectfully working with clients of all gender identities (or lack thereof).

BfR’s BCC covers topics that no other breathwork training programs touch — including anti-racism and intersectionality, spiritual bypass, ethics of care, and how to build an equitable breathwork business. It is one of the most thorough programs available.

Over the course of this breathwork training, attendees will learn essential information about breathwork technique, trauma, counseling and communication skills, ethical practice, implicit bias, and group and couples work using an intersectional lens. Attendees will also develop new insight into their own healing — a common result of taking trainings of this kind. They say trauma focused instead of trauma-informed because at its core, breathwork is a trauma remediation technique, so calling it trauma-informed is more of a marketing ploy for SEO.
