Breath as a Bridge · 200-Hour Training
Breathwork Facilitator Training
Come on a journey that will reshape how you experience yourself and how you support others.
Become a certified Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitator through this 200 hour training, blending breathwork and somatic practices for grounded, skilled facilitation.
About This Training
Breath as a Bridge is a 200-hour training in Conscious Connected Breathwork, grounded in nervous system science and somatic practice, offered online and in person on Koh Samui, Thailand. It's for people who want to guide impactful breathwork sessions and develop the skills to support clients on all levels: mental, physical, emotional, and energetic.
It's for yoga teachers, sound healers, coaches, therapists, and wellness practitioners who want to add breathwork to their work, and for anyone who feels called to guide it.
And it starts with you. Before you guide anyone else, you spend time with your own breath, your own patterns, your own capacity. That's where truly masterful facilitation comes from.
You will leave this training with two main things:
- Certification in Conscious Connected Breathwork, a gentle and powerful practice that works in partnership with the body, nervous system, and subconscious mind.
- A working knowledge of nervous system science and somatic techniques that changes how you understand yourself and how you guide during sessions, across whatever modalities you may already facilitate.

In their words
"This is the single best thing you could do for yourself and/or others if you plan to be or already are a wellness facilitator."
-Sarah Arguijo

"Hands down, this was probably the best course I have joined so far.
Going into this 7-day intensive in Koh Samui, I knew we’d be diving into Conscious Connected Breathwork, but I wasn't prepared for just how deeply transformative and complete the experience would actually be. Maeve is an absolute gem of a teacher."
-Beata Anna
"It’s an incredible opportunity to learn and to study something that can literally change how you experience life."
-Michael Vrielink

Learn breathwork and somatic techniques that will support profound personal shifts and changes.

Become a skilled facilitator

Work across modalities
Seamlessly weave breathwork into the other modalities you teach to enhance your client's experience.
How Breathwork Works
Conscious connected breathing works across several layers of our being to create a powerful and supportive experience.
Mental
Shifts brainwave states from beta (analytical thinking) into more relaxed and expansive states like alpha and theta. This can open access to the subconscious, allowing insight and perspective shifts. Early research shows measurable changes in brain activity and mood after a single session.
Physical
Shifts your blood chemistry as carbon dioxide levels change, which many people feel as tingling and waves of energy. It also supports healing in the body, brings a healthy rhythm back to the nervous system, and helps discharge stored stress. Many people also experience a renewed sense of connection with their body.
Emotional
Engages the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain. Emotions that have been held or suppressed can surface and move through safely, often leaving people with a sense of release and lightness.
Spiritual/Energetic
Many people experience breathwork as a gateway to deeper connection with themselves, others, or something larger than themselves. As the mind quiets, a sense of presence, unity, and peace can emerge.

What Makes This Training Different

This training brings together breathwork and somatic therapy principles.
You’ll learn the different nervous system patterns, how to read what’s happening in a client’s body in real time, and how to work with it, not just follow a structure.
You’ll begin to recognize patterns in yourself and others, understand how stress responses form, and support safe release in a way that feels grounded and manageable. And you’ll learn how to stay regulated and present yourself while you facilitate.
These skills carry into your work with others, creating trauma-informed sessions that feel safe, supportive, and deeply effective. This ability to be truly tuned in and connected will be felt in every room you hold space in.
This is where real skill develops and deepens in you as a facilitator, and real transformation happens for the people you work with.

I'm Maeve.
For the past decade, I’ve been teaching and holding space in ways that honor both the nervous system and the person behind the learning.
My background is rooted in education and science, but I was always really interested in modalities that move beyond the information and into our actual lived experience. Breathwork became the bridge for me -- a powerful way to blend what we know about the body with a practice that is meaningful, transformational, and very human.
Leading this training allows me to bring together everything I’m passionate about: teaching, breathwork, somatic tools, and nervous-system-informed healing. I love creating spaces that feel safe and grounded, where learning happens through experience and people are supported in finding their own path to healing and wellness.
