I am a Certified Breathwork Facilitator through Breathless Expeditions, a globally respected organization known for its evidence-based, science-informed approach to breathwork training. Their certification program is designed to create highly skilled, trauma-aware, and ethically grounded practitioners.

The Breathless certification includes in-depth training in:

The science of breathing — respiratory physiology, nervous system regulation, and the connection between breath and mental health.

Trauma-informed facilitation — understanding how breath impacts the body and mind, and how to safely support people through emotional release and nervous system shifts.

Breathwork modalities — exposure to a range of techniques, from functional breathing and performance optimization to transformational and meditative breathwork styles.

Safety, ethics, and integration — including how to hold space, work with boundaries, and support long-term change in a client’s life.

Breathless Expeditions also contributes actively to the field through ongoing research. For example, their recent scoping review of over 1,000 scientific studies has helped demonstrate breathwork’s effectiveness for reducing anxiety, improving focus, and supporting emotional resilience.

Before entering the world of breathwork, I worked as a Respiratory Therapist, and later became a Registered Nurse, now with over a decade of experience in trauma-informed practice. I’ve worked in high-acuity environments including emergency care, critical care, and currently in palliative care and Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). I also serve as a clinical instructor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, guiding nursing students in their hands-on clinical practice.

My deep understanding of the human body—and just as importantly, of the human experience—has shaped how I hold space in breathwork. Years spent caring for people at their most vulnerable have taught me the importance of compassion, safety, and presence. That insight is at the heart of how I facilitate this work.

While breathwork is not yet formally regulated as a profession in most countries, it is quickly gaining recognition. Organizations like the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance (GPBA) and the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF) are setting professional and ethical standards that practitioners like myself align with.

As public understanding and research grow, breathwork is becoming a more respected and accessible resource. I’m proud to be trained by one of the world’s leading programs and to offer this transformative practice with integrity, knowledge, and care. It is important to note that my Registration and practice in nursing is not affiliated or connected to my work as a breathwork facilitator
