More than a weekend certification
Breathwork has the power to help people reconnect with themselves in profound ways.
It can create emotional release, clarity, self-awareness, connection, and deep personal insight. But experiences like these require more than simply guiding a breathing pattern. They require presence, discernment, and the ability to safely hold space for what may arise.
That sort of embodied learning can’t take place in a weekend!
This immersive course includes in person classes and online support from seasoned facilitators, practice sessions and on demand training.
As breathwork continues to grow in popularity, the need for grounded, responsible, and well-trained facilitators becomes even more important.
Breathwork should not be about performing or pushing people past their limits.
It’s about learning how to guide transformational experiences with presence, discernment, responsibility, and care.
Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator Training
Safety isn’t an add on to this training. It’s built into the DNA. In this immersive training you’ll learn:
Nervous system states and trauma responses that can appear in breathwork
How to recognize signs of dysregulation and how to respond skillfully and responsibly
How to facilitate breathwork journeys with clear consent based boundaries
Practice co-regulation tools that create grounded and ethical spaces
Science + Somatics + Spirituality
This 16 week immersive training bridges evidence based science with embodied practice and intuitive awareness
Nervous system regulation and poly vagal theory
CO2 tolerance, breath physiology and brain -state shifts
Emotional processing and subconscious patterning
Intuition, presence, and energetic awareness
Students do not simply learn concepts intellectually. They actively participate in breathwork experiences, observe the facilitation process, practice guiding others, receive feedback, and develop confidence through direct experience.
There comes a time in life when we feel called toward something deeper
A deeper understanding of ourselves.
A deeper connection to others.
A deeper way of supporting transformation and healing in the world around us.
If breathwork has impacted your life and you feel called to guide others through this work, this training was created to help you step into that role with greater confidence, presence, responsibility, and support.

Testimonials:
“When I signed up for Breathwork Facilitator Training with Stephanie, I expected to learn how to guide breathwork sessions. What I didn’t expect was how much I would learn about people, healing, trauma, and myself. Stephanie’s training is deeply trauma-informed and rooted in integrity. She doesn’t teach facilitators to be healers, saviors, or people who “fix” others. Instead, she teaches the importance of creating a safe space where people can reconnect with their own wisdom, their own healing, and their own capacity for transformation. That distinction changed the way I view facilitation forever. Some of the most valuable lessons had nothing to do with breath patterns or techniques. We explored nervous system awareness, ethical facilitation, boundaries, projection, trauma responses, and how to navigate the complex dynamics that can arise when people are experiencing profound breakthroughs. These are topics many trainings overlook, yet they are essential when holding space for others. Stephanie brings a rare combination of knowledge, compassion, authenticity, and humility to her teaching. Throughout the training, I felt supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow not only as a facilitator, but as a human being. I left with practical skills, a deeper understanding of trauma informed care, and a profound respect for the responsibility that comes with guiding others through transformative experiences. If you are considering breathwork facilitator training and want something that is ethical, heart centered, trauma informed, and truly comprehensive, I cannot recommend Stephanie and Rising Phoenix Breathwork enough.”
-Heather T.
“Stephanie’s Breathwork Facilitator training was an invaluable and transformative experience! The program provided clear, step by step guidance, equipping me with the skills needed to become a capable and competent facilitator. Stephine’s deep knowledge of breathwork and expertise in facilitation shines through her ability to teach others in this course. She offered ongoing support through a group chat, weekly calls and hugely beneficial feedback. I began the training feeling nervous to count to music, and left feeling confident in my ability to independently facilitate a full session. She is top notch in this field!”
-- Heather M.“My husband and I had the privilege of attending Stephanie’s transformative Breathwork Facilitator’s training weekend retreat in the serene setting of Milo Farm, nestled in the heart of Kansas City. Our journey into Breathwork was driven by a desire to enrich our own lives and extend that enrichment to others through guiding them in their Breathwork experiences. Stephanie curated a serene environment, complemented by her husband’s culinary mastery, where we connected with remarkable individuals and deepened our understanding of Breathworks profound impact. Throughout the weekend, we immersed ourselves in the intricacies of Elemental Rhythm Breathwork, initially daunting but expertly navigated by Stephanie’s gentle guidance. By the retreat’s conclusion, I emerged with newfound confidence and eagerness to share this transformative practice. The Breakthrough Breathwork session provided a profound inner healing experience, leaving me inspired to spread this gift of healing to others.”
— Sondra P.“Stephanie's Breathwork Facilitator Training is the real deal. I took her course a couple of years ago, and it's still one of the best learning experiences I've had. From the moment I arrived, the care was obvious. There were little gifts waiting on the beds, the space was thoughtfully set up, and everything about the program felt intentional. The material was well-planned, the pacing was just right, and the breaks landed exactly when you needed them. What stood out most was how she built community within the group. It didn't feel like a class. It felt like something you were going through together. I left with the skills, the knowledge, and the confidence to step into my own role as a facilitator. If you're considering her training, trust the process. She's the kind of teacher who makes you feel ready.”
