The aim of this course is to increase knowledge and understanding of safeguarding issues and how this relates to breathwork practice and protocols. The training will be interactive, allowing breathworkers to share experiences confidentially in order to deepen the learning. The purpose is to enable support and confidence in breathworkers holding a safe container for themselves and others and to develop robust safeguarding etiquettes.

This course is open to fully certified breathworkers. If you are currently in-training please contact Rebecca before booking your space. You will receive a Level 1 Safeguarding certificate for taking part in this training.
