Discovering how to use breath as a diagnostic tool is a powerful gift for yourself and your clients!

Benefits of Breathwork:

  • Reduces stress and anxiety.

  • Boosts the immune system.

  • Eliminates toxins from the body and brain.

  • Improves digestion

  • Enhances mental clarity and creativity.

  • Improves emotional regulation and resilience.

  • Aids in pain management.

  • Enhances self-awareness and self-compassion.

  • Shifts the body from acidic to alkaline.

  • Enhances libido.

As humans, our nervous systems often don’t fully process stress or danger responses, leaving energetic residues that manifest as physical tension, restricted breathing, unhealthy patterns, and even disease. IBT gently guides the body to complete these cycles, releasing held trauma, memories, and emotions in a safe, supported environment.

This body-mind-oriented training offers significant benefits, with a primary focus on experiential learning. You’ll gain a first-hand understanding of the breath’s remarkable ability to clear, heal, and integrate past stress and trauma. If you’re committed to both personal and professional growth, this training is for you.

​Integral Breath Therapy is a revolutionary approach that harnesses the power of the breath to explore, heal, and integrate the multifaceted dimensions of the human psyche. Drawing upon ancient Eastern wisdom and modern Western methodologies, this holistic modality employs specific breathing techniques to release physical, mental, and emotional blockages. It’s a safe yet potent therapeutic tool that works with the whole person to foster healing, integration, and profound transformation.

IBT acts as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious minds, allowing you to move beyond surface-level narratives and repetitive life patterns to uncover core belief systems and their origins. You will learn to utilize this powerful energy therapy to gently induce a natural trance state in your clients, facilitating dynamic awakenings and accessing deeply rooted, unresolved issues.

​Its versatility allows for seamless integration into existing clinical practices, educational settings, or coaching formats.

Unlike other methods where you might lead the client, in IBT, you learn to accompany them on their unique healing journey. This seemingly simple energy therapy holds remarkable potential for physical, psychological, and emotional expansion, exploration, release, and healing.

Elevate your current professional practice and unlock new dimensions in client care by integrating IBT’s unique somatic modality, offering a powerful and substance-free pathway to deeper healing that addresses the root of their challenges through the power of breath.
