If you didn’t get a chance to register for our Trauma-Informed Breathwork webinar this week, I didn’t want you to miss it.
We’ve made the replay available so you can watch it in your own time over the weekend.
It turned out to be a powerful and deeply engaging session. Participants described it as “an absolute must watch” and a “fabulous training.” One comment captured it beautifully: “Trauma is the imprint in the body.”
"Your presentation was outstanding: clear, high-impact examples, easy to follow visuals. My best use of a Thursday evening in a long time." David
Another shared how empowering it is to have “permission to be angry and express it in safety.”
There was a strong theme of safety and presence throughout, with people reflecting that:
• “No judgement makes me feel safe.”
• “Being heard and listened to.”
• “Validated on how I feel.”
• “I don’t need to be ‘fixed’.”
Together we explored:
• What actually makes an experience traumatic
• How trauma shows up in Breathwork sessions
• The 5 core trauma-informed principles every facilitator must understand
• How to prevent flooding and dissociation
• Why “slowly is holy” is more than a nice phrase
• A short guided nervous system reset you can use immediately
If you work with emotion in any capacity — this understanding is essential.
For a limited time you can gain instant free access to watch the replay... just comment "Trauma Informed Breathwork" and we'll surely send the link...
For Empathetic Clinicians Ready to Work from Embodiment
Live Webinar – Thursday 5th | 7:00 pm AEST
Breathwork can activate deep emotional trauma. Without trauma-informed understanding, sessions can unintentionally overwhelm or re-trigger clients.
I’d like to personally invite you to join me for a live training on Trauma-Informed Care with Breathwork — designed for empathetic clinicians and practitioners who want to work safely, respectfully and effectively.
In this session, I will share:
• The different types of trauma and how they affect the nervous system
• The 5 key principles of Trauma-Informed Care
• How to avoid re-traumatisation
• Heart-centred strategies for safe, embodied facilitation
• How to regulate yourself while holding space for others
This is not just theory.
It is grounded, experiential learning drawn from over 30 years of facilitating deep emotional healing through the Australian Breathwork College.
If you are a counsellor, psychotherapist, psychologist, social worker, or breathwork practitioner who wants to integrate somatic healing with integrity — I would love you to join us.
If you’d like to go beyond reading and actually learn powerful EQ skills while experiencing deep emotional healing, our Passionately Alive Retreat is in 7 days (see details below).
Registrations close tomorrow at 10am as we finalise catering and prepare the space.
If you feel called to attend, the next step is simple...
I’d love to speak with you and support your next step.

As we prepare for our next Passionately Alive Seminar in 10 days' time (Feb 26 – March 1), I wanted to share something special with you.
I’m giving you a FREE instant download of my Emotional Mastery E-Book—the education about emotions you should have received at school but didn’t.
Mastering our emotions is the missing piece of the puzzle. Our culture focuses on the physical and mental, but almost totally ignores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of being human.
Consequently, we are experiencing massive levels of anxiety, stress, discontentment, relationship breakdowns and dis-ease.
So many of our problems are driven by unacknowledged and unresolved emotions.
When you learn to recognise, understand and harness the wisdom and power of your emotions to be healthy, happy, create deep, fulfilling relationships, achieve success and live life fully.
This book is a powerful guide to upgrading your emotional intelligence and enriching your life. Inside, you’ll discover how to:
✨ Understand and master your emotions instead of being ruled by them
✨ Clear old destructive patterns that keep looping
✨ Respond from presence rather than react from stress
✨ Build the emotional strength to live fully alive
Imagine spending an hour with a cup of tea, reading, reflecting, and reconnecting with your heart.
Emotional mastery is the foundation of a passionately alive life. Free Instant Download here: 👉 http://eepurl.com/gpDmqL

Take action, download and read this amazing little gem of a book.
It has changed people's lives... maybe yours too!

If you’ve been feeling the quiet nudge to facilitate Breathwork… but another part of you is hesitating, doubting, or second-guessing yourself — can I share something with you, heart to heart?
There is honestly nothing wrong with you. If anything, that self-doubt often shows me you genuinely care about doing this work well. And I see this all the time with heart-centred empaths, healers and sensitive souls.
Your humility is actually one of your strengths. It keeps you open, connected and in real relationship with your clients. It’s something beautiful to keep… just not something to let hold you back 🙂
Something I’ve learned over the years is that confidence as a Breathwork coach doesn’t come from having your life perfectly sorted. It grows from believing in three simple things.
First… belief in your trainer.
You need to feel guided by someone you trust, resonate with, and who has walked this path — including the mistakes, fears and growth. I’ve been coaching Breathwork full time for over 30 years and training facilitators for 26 years now. I’ve built a global Breathwork community and a life I genuinely love through this work. And truthfully… I still remember standing side-stage before speaking to hundreds of people thinking, “What am I doing here?” Confidence grew through experience, support, humility and service.
Second… belief in the program.
You’re not here to fix people or have all the answers. Breathwork does the work. This training focuses on your personal growth, skills development, and gives you a proven, done-for-you business and marketing system. You’re not expected to feel confident or ready before you start — that’s exactly what the training is for.
Third… belief in yourself.
This is usually the trickiest one. I often hear:
“I don’t have my life together yet.”
“I don’t know enough.”
“What if I make a mistake?”
That’s what many call impostor syndrome. But honestly, I see it as a sign of someone with a big, caring heart who wants to do meaningful work. Often, it comes from old experiences of criticism or not feeling fully seen. When it shows up, it’s not a stop sign… it’s an invitation to grow and deepen self-acceptance.
The beautiful thing about being a Breathwork facilitator is you don’t need to be a guru, expert or wise sage. Your role is simply to be present, grounded and caring — holding a safe space while people reconnect with their own truth.
Confidence doesn’t come from perfection. It grows through:
✔ Accepting yourself as you are
✔ Doing your own inner healing
✔ Becoming skilled and supported
✔ Trusting the Breathwork process
✔ Shifting from “Am I good enough?” to “How can I serve?”
You’re not here to tell people how to live. You’re here to help them listen to their own heart.
And here’s the honest truth… you don’t need to wait until fear disappears. Courage is simply taking action while fear is still there, guided by your desire to serve.
Our next Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Training begins this weekend. Registrations close Thursday, and we limit the group to 20 students. There are currently 3 places left.
If you feel interested but not completely sure, I’d genuinely love to chat with you. I’ve opened some relaxed 20-minute connection chats — not a sales call, just a real conversation to explore whether this training feels right for you and where you’re at.

If you have been looking for a better way of living, if you are ready to feel more alive, and be the best ‘you’, you can be (a great husband, wife, mother, father, leader or perform at your peak), but you feel haunted by your past, heavy hearted, flat, empty, frightened of getting hurt again, disconnected, losing hope, and not sure how long you can keep going like this, then I’m glad you are here…
