Welcome: How to Approach This Training
This training is designed to meet you where you are.
You don’t need a background in trauma theory, psychology, or somatic healing to engage with this material.
What you bring, your lived experience, your presence, your curiosity, and your care, is enough.
Throughout this training, we’ll explore trauma not as a pathology to fix, but as the body’s natural response to overwhelm. We’ll learn how healing is rooted in co-creating safety (physiological, relational, and emotional) and how breathwork can be offered in ways that honor the whole person.
Take your time. Stay connected to your own body as you learn.
Some concepts may feel new, but you already have the most important ingredients for trauma-informed practice: your willingness to listen, attune, and stay present.
Together, we’ll build the skills to offer breathwork in ways that invite resilience, restoration, and real trust in the body’s wisdom.

Once we overcame the technical issues with playlist and zoom, all else was a pleasure. Lots of information was provided to us, but what stood out the most was the gentleness and presence of ERs leadership team. They were not only responsive when we needed assistance, they did so in an affirming and kind way. But honestly, the best part is the community. Thank you Gio, Stephanie and all!

Amazing class.

I didn’t know what to expect coming into learning more about breathwork, nor did I ever think it would change my life. I feel even if you don’t become a facilitator after this course the. You’re still going to get self improvement from the class. Wow even my friends and family have noticed a difference in me since I started this training.
Stephanie Miller
In my humble opinion, this course alone is worth the cost of the Level 1 Facilitator Program. It exponentially elevated my awareness of the learned reactions in both myself and others. If you have ever asked yourself, "Why do I react this way, or why did they react this way to me?" then this course will clarify these burning questions. I can now respond better, rather than react. Thank you.
