Online Certification Training
An online live learning experience, teaching the fundamentals of the 6-element system and how trauma release through breathwork is achieved.
Upon graduation, you will be certified to deliver BBTRS® online sessions with paying clients.
Training Retreat 1
Your first training retreat will deliver significant personal and professional development. This powerful opportunity to feel the work in your own body will create meaningful shifts and guide your understanding of a clients' experience of BBTRS®.
Training Retreat 2
In your second in-person training, you will have integrated the personal experiences from your first retreat, stepping into a stronger practitioner role. The focus of this training is to develop a greater awareness and build your confidence with holding responsibility when working in group and 1:1 sessions.
Training Retreat 3
By your third training, you're operating at a very different level having accumulated real experience as a practitioner.
You will work more closely with the senior trainers, participating in facilitation exchanges and learning to track the full complexity of individual and group processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Here are some of the most common things people want to know before joining—especially around safety, certification pathways, and logistics.
Yes. Sessions are intentionally gentle and paced. You’ll always stay within what feels safe and supportive for your body — no force, no breath holds.
When beginning study of BBTRS®, you may begin either in-person or online, whichever suits you best. However, we highly recommend starting with the Online Certification course to learn the foundations of the 6 element system and approaches to working with trauma in an informed and safe manner.
This course is a great option for experienced practitioners modalities and complete newcomers alike, particularly if you are inexperience in working with trauma in this way. Upon completion, you will be certified to start working with real paying clients online, and should you choose to continue to an in-person Training Retreat, you will enjoy a more embodied experience having already established a core understanding of the basic principles of BBTRS®.

Each unit of training for the Advanced Pathway is priced individually, starting from around $1,850 USD (currency may vary by region), making it fully flexible for you to manage your finances while studying at a pace that suits you.
You are only committed to studying the unit you for which you are currently enrolled. Most students aim to complete the full advanced certification in 18-24 months, however, if your budget means you require more time between units, then this is absolutely possible.

Not necessarily. BBTRS® avoids forced catharsis; we work within your capacity using pacing, consent, and titration. Strong sensations can arise, but we let the body lead so change integrates rather than overwhelms your system. You can always slow down, observe, or pause—no force, no breath holds.
