Breathe to Heal

Facilitator Training

“Our aim as teachers is to facilitate post-traumatic healing and arrive at post-traumatic freedom.”

Max Strom Breathe to Heal

Learn how to use breathing patterns and communication skills that immediately benefit your students and clients. This training is designed for therapists, teachers, life coaches, and health professionals. Those who wish to join us for their own healing are also warmly welcomed.

Alleviating anxiety, depression and panic-attacks is one of the most pressing matters in todayโ€™s society. Conventional methods like talk-therapy do their part, but itโ€™s often not enough. The Breathe to Heal system has proven highly successful at accelerating emotional healing and getting to the core of symptoms like anxiety, depression and panic attacks. This training has been highly successful for therapists, social and health professionals, coaches, and (yoga) teachers who sought out Maxโ€™s method to add to their healing repertoire. 

What will the Facilitator Training cover?

This training reveals a new understanding of the interconnectedness between anxiety, loneliness, and unreconciled grief. All three are aspects of the human heart and of our relationship with ourselves and others. Put simply, it could be said that when you begin to heal one, you begin to heal all three.

This process will give you the chance to personally experience and fully understand the impact of the Breathe to Heal system so that you can implement the techniques into your sessions authentically and effectively. In just a few short days you will have the experience and knowledge to help you transform your internal state, prevent future anxiety, and help others to do so.

You will experience and learn the how and why of Maxโ€™s techniques on:

  • Understanding human connection, vulnerability, isolation, and intimacy.
  • Daily breathing patterns for alleviating and preventing anxiety and cultivating emotional health.
  • Evolutionary cathartic breathing patterns to access and release deeply suppressed emotions.
  • Guided visualizations for rapid emotional access and healing.
  • Contra-indications: when to avoid certain breathing exercises.
  • One-to-one methodology: How to quickly ascertain the cause of client/patientโ€™s primary wound through a line of questioning.
  • Identifying symptomatic facial expressions, postures, and gestures.
  • How to teach breathwork to individuals and also groups.
  • Experiencing the interconnection of the emotions with the body.
  • Writing and discussion.

For whom is this training?

The course is ideal for therapists, social and health professionals, coaches, and (yoga) teachers who want to add Maxโ€™s method to their healing repertoire. Those who wish to join us for their own interest and healing are also warmly welcomed.
