Ordinary People Academy

The wellness industry is churning out half-trained teachers who look good on Instagram and will hurt real people, and everyone is too polite to say it.

Like someone doing a weekend certification, learning one activating breathwork style, and teaching it to everyone who walks in the door.

No screening. No idea that Conscious Connected Breathwork can be genuinely dangerous for certain people. Just vibes and a certificate.

My course is 6 months. Not because I’m dragging it out, but because you cannot embody this work in a weekend. You can only intellectualise it, and then you go teach the intellectualised version to a room full of people trusting you with their nervous systems.

We start with the anatomy of the breath. Then holding space safely, which is its own skill, not a personality trait. Every technique, you do yourself first.

You don’t get to teach what you haven’t felt in your own body.

We cover both activating and calming styles - because one breath doesn’t suit all people, and if you only know one style you’re going to hand it to someone it’s wrong for.

A full module is built by an NHS nurse and breathworker on special populations, the people who get blanket-banned from activating techniques and Conscious Connected Breathwork with no one explaining why or what to do instead. Most trainings skip this entirely.

Small cohorts. I run them myself. And because most people who’d be great at this don’t think they fit the “breathwork teacher” mould, we spend real time helping you find your own angle, plus the business training to actually build something from it.

I'm on holiday with Alisdair (alone!) and thank God for my Breathwork practice so I can keep up with him! 😃

**Last Call**
The Ordinary People Academy's Breathwork Facilitator Training closes for new enrollment this Tuesday as we embark on our first Conscious Connected Breathing experience and move from an open to a closed group. Ready to deepen your self-understanding and learn to teach this safely? DM me and we’ll get you in!

You're a simmering pit of rage. But when someone tells you to calm down and take a deep breath, it makes you want to scream. You don't need some tattooed Bali-bro or purple-hued patchouli maiden telling you how to breathe. You need Breathwork for Ordinary People - breathwork with sanity for those who think they're going mad.

The next round of our doubly accredited Breathwork Facilitator Training starts Tuesday 12 May and runs for 6 months. We meet online to make it convenient to do this alongside all your other commitments but you are never alone! My inbox is open so ask any questions or get a chat with me via my link in bio.

Controversial opinion!

A lot of Breathwork has no business being in a therapy room!

It's too intense.
Too unpredictable.
And honestly - most practitioners haven't been trained to hold what can come up.

So people like yourself just... avoid it.

Which jeans you're stuck relying on talking even when your client is completely dysregulated.

But Breathwork done properly?

Simple
Subtle
Safe

That's what I teach.

DM me to join the upcoming workshop "Big Breaths for Hard Times" on Tuesday 28th April at 7pm and see how it actually works.
