What Is a Breathwork Coach?
Breathwork coaching is about more than teaching breathing techniques. It’s a grounded, ethical way of supporting people to work with their breath for stress, focus, emotional regulation, and everyday nervous system care. In this guide, we explore what a breathwork coach actually does, how breathwork coaching works, how it differs from facilitation or therapy, and what to look for in a trauma-sensitive breathwork coach certification.

I ask today that you hold my hand as I now step into my power in this new chapter of my life.
I ask for courage as I leave behind all the fear, the self doubt and the limiting beliefs that have held me in this cage for so long.
I ask for gentleness as you walk me through the lessons, growth and healing ahead.
I ask you to remind me to trust myself, my intuition and my inner knowing always.
I pray that I never give up my authenticity or fail to speak my truth in an effort to please others.
I ask that I am able to share this gift with any and all who need it.
I ask that I always lead with the heart, with love, kindness and compassion for all.
I pray to remain open throughout this journey while providing a safe space for others to be seen, heard and understood.
I pray that this gives me the opportunities to live, to work, to earn, to travel and to exist with the freedom and flexibility I have always craved.
I pray to always see the infinite possibilities around me.
I pray to always be bold, passionate and full of light as I share this magic with the world.
I pray to live a life I am proud of.
I ask to do all of this, AND MORE with kindness, courage and joy.
And so it is.
Embracing the Mystery of Conscious Connected Breathwork
I generally consider myself a science-based person. I value evidence, research, and measurable outcomes. But I’m also very aware that up until just 100 years ago, many practices we now accept as medical fact—like germ theory or the importance of handwashing—were considered radical or even laughable. History has taught us that just because something can’t yet be explained doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
