Why train with us?
It’s officially the "Wild West” era of Breathwork Training.
While the transformational modality of Breathwork skyrockets in popularity, the industry remains highly unregulated. Day-long or weekend trainings are popping up left and right, creating a facade of preparedness for aspiring facilitators, and leaving future students and their breathers vulnerable in untrained spaces.
At Integrative Breath, we value safety, integrity, ethics, and the intricate nuances of this deeply needed work in the world.
“Attending and completing The Integrative Breath Facilitator Training has been a life changing journey for me. My gratitude and appreciation go to Rae Riedel, who is a gifted teacher and Breathwork facilitator. I deeply appreciate that this grounded program informs all levels of learning, from mental/scientific to experiential/emotional to spiritual/relational. This beautiful and powerful healing technique – conscious connected breathwork - is there for all of us, and it is deeply personal. At the end of the training, i came home with a new friend i can always turn to for support and guidance, my breath.”
— Christine Gerike: Trauma Informed Coach and Social Witnessing Facilitator
“This was one of the hardest, emotional, heart pounding, heart warming and exhilarating experiences I have ever been part of. We met the deepest darkest parts of ourselves and also the magical and the mystical. Some things can’t be fixed or explained with the mind.”
— Paul Garrigan, Pact Mantality, Men’s Circles.
“The impact of this training has been huge! The most significant step in my personal and professional journey to date. If you’re interested in transforming your life in ways you cannot even imagine, I highly recommend the Integrative Breath training.”
— Briony Gunson: Meditation Teacher and Life/Business Coach.
“This training had so many components! There was such a huge learning curve and wealth of education - the spiritual practice of breathwork, the emotional practice of breathwork, woven in with the scientific aspect! the inner work this has facilitated in me has been remarkable. WHile breathwork may be on the rise in our culture, i take with me that breath is rooted in a practice and an understanding of our human experience that goes back to the very beginning. THis work is so profoundly human!”
— Kila Englebrook
When I was looking for a breathwork facilitator training course, a good friend recommended Integrative Breath. I could not be more happy to have found this program. One of the things that most stood out to me is the vast scope of study and expertise that DR. Rae has. As someone that has many certifications under my belt and years of study and practice in various modalities, I found Integrative Breath to be a well rounded program that had a carefully developed curriculum that encompassed not only the science of breath, but also the heart of it and what it means to really hold space. Dr Rae is so wholeheartedly invested in sharing the power of this practice. The world needs this work!
