Breathwork is a powerful modality. When it’s held well, it can open people to parts of themselves they’ve never consciously met. When it’s held carelessly, it can do real harm.
That’s not said to frighten anyone. It’s said because we think you deserve to know exactly what we stand for before you step into any space we hold.
Ethical excellence isn’t a box we tick. It’s the foundation everything else is built on. It shapes how we teach, how we facilitate, how we train others, and how we continue to learn long after the session ends.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN EVERY SESSION
Whether you come to a group event, a private container, or a training, a few things will always be true.
You are always in control of your own experience. The breath is an invitation, never a demand. You can slow down, pause, or stop at any time. Your facilitator will always support that choice without question.
You will always know what to expect. Every session begins with clear information about what the practice involves, what can arise, and what support is available. Informed consent isn’t a formality here … it’s the starting point.
What happens in the container stays there. Confidentiality is not negotiable. What you share, feel, or move through in a session is yours. It goes no further.
Your identity is welcome here. Diversity, cultural background, gender, history. All of it is honoured. The space is built to hold everyone, and we are committed to continuing to learn how to do that better.
Your safety matters more than the session. If something arises that is beyond the scope of what breathwork can safely hold, we will say so clearly, kindly, and without judgement. Knowing the limits of our practice is part of practising ethically.
Why we invest in this so deeply
Breathwork is growing. More people are discovering it, more facilitators are entering the space, and more training programmes are appearing every year. That’s a good thing. The world needs more people who can hold space well.
It also means the standard of that holding matters more than ever.
We believe that the breathwork space deserves facilitators who are genuinely prepared not just for the beautiful, expansive experiences the breath creates, but for the full range of what can arise when a person finally gives themselves permission to feel. Grief. Fear. Old memories. Physical intensity. The unexpected.
Being prepared for all of it is not about being clinical or guarded. It’s about being present enough, grounded enough, and skilled enough to stay steady when someone needs that steadiness most.
That’s what we train for. And it’s what we hold ourselves to, every time.
OUR COMMITMENTS IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
Safety first, always. Every decision in every session is guided by the wellbeing of the person in front of us. Not the plan, not the playlist, not the expected arc of the journey.
Transparency. We are clear about what we offer, what we don’t offer, and where our scope of practice ends. We don’t overstate what breathwork can do. We also don’t understate it.
Ongoing learning. Ethics isn’t a qualification you earn once. The field evolves. Understanding deepens. We are committed to continuing education for ourselves and for every facilitator we train.
No hidden fees or agreements. Our trained facilitators graduate with a lifetime licence to share the modalities they’ve learned. There are no ongoing costs, no gatekeeping, no strings. You learn it, it’s yours.
People above profit. The work exists to serve the people who come to it, not the other way around. That shapes every decision, from pricing to how we handle enquiries, to what we say yes and no to.
Boundaries that protect everyone. Clear professional boundaries are a sign of care. They protect participants, they protect facilitators, and they make the space safer for everyone in it.
FOR THOSE CONSIDERING THE TRAINING
If you’re exploring the 200hr Facilitator Training, this page is part of the picture we want you to have.
We train facilitators who are not just technically skilled, but genuinely prepared to hold human complexity with care, integrity, and presence. Ethical excellence is embedded throughout the curriculum, not only as a standalone module, but as a thread that runs through everything.
We also know that who you train with shapes who you become as a facilitator. We take that seriously.
registering a concern
Every facilitator in the SOULBODY BREATH® community is held to a clear code of ethics and conduct. If your experience with one of our facilitators has fallen short of that standard, in any way, large or small, we want to know.
You can reach me directly at jenni@soulbodybreath.com or use the form below.
Please share what happened, as clearly and fully as you feel able to. Everything you share will be treated with complete confidentiality and genuine care.
If a concern is raised, we follow a process inspired by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance. It’s designed to support restorative and corrective action for everyone involved. The aim is never to punish, but to take what happened seriously, address it properly, and ensure the space remains safe for all who enter it.
Every stage of that process is overseen by me personally.
