GPBA Accredited Course
Are you a qualified therapeutic practitioner, counsellor, or coach wanting to support your clients clients with a more deeply embodied approach?
Do you have deep experience with Conscious Connected Breath, and feel called to help others?
If the answer to either or both of these is yes, this advanced training is your next powerful step.
Breathing Journeys offers a transformational training program designed for experienced professionals and those with a passion for breathwork, to deepen their impact and step into their full potential as trauma-informed Breathwork Practitioners.
You’ll embark on a comprehensive 7-module journey:
-
5 immersive online weekends, with training videos and a rich resource portal
-
2 in-person retreats in the breathtaking Highlands of Scotland – opening and closing the training with connection, ceremony, and embodied in-person experience
-
Regular Q&A and supervision calls to support your integration and growth
Every aspect of this training is thoughtfully designed to support, guide, and empower you at every stage.
You’ll be part of an intimate, supportive cohort of no more than 12 participants – a closed group that evolves together, building deep trust and connection throughout the training.
Led by John Paul Mason, founder of Breathing Journeys and the very first graduate of the AIR School of Breathwork, and co-facilitated by Deborah, both trained by pioneers Brigitte Martin Powell and Doug Sawyer, this program is rooted in experience, integrity, and a profound respect for trauma-informed care.
John Paul and Deborah are passionate about creating truly safe, sacred, and empowering spaces. Their mission is to support you not only as a practitioner but as a human being – so you can step fully into your calling and become part of the vibrant Breathing Journeys community.
Completing the 6-month Breathwork Facilitator Training with John Paul at Breathing Journeys, alongside Deborah’s beautiful support, has been one of the most powerful and transformative experiences of my life.
From the very beginning, the space was held with such deep integrity, safety, and presence. John Paul's ability to guide with humility, wisdom, and authenticity created an environment where I felt not only able but deeply encouraged to meet myself fully, in all the layers, tenderness, and strength that this path asks of us.
The training was so much more than learning techniques, it was an initiation into a way of being with the breath, with others, and with my own soul. The flow of each module allowed for real integration, offering the time and spaciousness to embody what was being taught, rather than rushing to "achieve" or "perform." Every piece built upon the last in a way that felt organic, intuitive, and real.
Throughout the journey, I felt consistently seen, supported, and trusted, especially during the inevitable personal shifts and transformations that arose. Both John Paul and Deborah walked alongside us with unwavering steadiness, compassion, and genuine care. Deborah’s grounded presence was a quiet but vital anchor throughout the process, bringing a warmth and depth that held the container beautifully.
What stands out most to me is the quality of presence that was modelled, not just teaching us how to facilitate breathwork, but embodying the very essence of what it means to truly hold space for another human being.
I leave this training not just as a certified facilitator, but as someone who has walked through a personal rite of passage, one that has deepened my trust in life, in the breath, and in myself.
I am so deeply grateful to John Paul for the integrity and heart he brings to this work, and to Deborah for her unwavering support and wisdom.
If you are called to the path of breathwork, not as a technique, but as a living, breathing art form, I cannot recommend Breathing Journeys highly enough.
This journey has changed me in ways that words cannot fully capture. It has reconnected me to the strength, softness, and sacredness that was always inside me, and it has given me the tools to offer that space for others too.
