TESTIMONIALS
I loved taking the Activation Breathwork Training with Gwen. She is a WEALTH of knowledge in this space, and soaking up all the information she knows from her in this training was a true gift. I have my yoga teacher training certification, and adding this Activation Breathwork Training to my instructor toolbox is helpful. I realize how beneficial it is to work with clients who may not be in an actual workout space and to create a space for someone to breathe.
My favorite was learning and practicing one-on-one with other students in the training, and Gwen did real-time coaching and feedback during the course. If you're a coach to others, and feel called to add Breathwork to your toolbox, it is a MUST to have this Activation Breathwork Training under your belt. I love how Gwen integrates these everyday clients and teaches us how to integrate them.

It took me two to three months to get myself to Breathwork because my ego was resistant. Yet once I laid down and did the Breathwork, I had one of the best experiences of my life. It was the first time I cried since my mother passed away eight years ago. Gwen holds a space that has deep medicine and it cracked me open. It was transcendent.
Dr. Christian Gonzalez, Naturopath, Heal Thyself Podcast
I was blown away by my own Breathwork experiences and I wanted to sign up for the Activation Training but I was nervous to financially invest because I am a single mother and had just suffered a big financial loss.
I followed my gut, registered for the training, and within two sessions I booked a $6,000 modeling job. I truly believe Breathwork shifted the past trauma and brought my self-worth and my power back.
During the training I got to learn the scientific and spiritual aspects, as well as a plethora of life changing tools. Gwen was available for any questions and support I needed. Since entering into Gwen's container my life has completely changed for the better. I have more confidence in myself, and I can now set out to accomplish things that I never thought I could do. I am so grateful to Gwen, and I’m so happy to be part of her container, and community.
Emma Ward, Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner, Model
Working with Gwen during the Activation Breathwork Training was a wonderful experience and investment in myself. I signed up for this deep dive with Gwen's coaching after seeing the benefits of breathwork in her New Moon and Full Moon circles in both my overall peace of mind and the insights I received during this powerful practice. The Activation Training was meaningful in both the time spent learning in a small group setting.
The changes I see in my busy life when I make the time to pay attention to my own inner wisdom and practice moving energy through my body using breathwork. The training is clearly organized, trauma-informed, and Gwen does a wonderful job of bringing in outside experts to add knowledge. I made deep connections with others in the group and felt incredibly supported throughout the entire training. I recommend this training to those who want to deepen their own breathwork practice and invest in their mind-body connection.
Ashley Richardson, Managing Principle Architect
I recently completed a four-month Activation Training course with Gwen where I worked on deepening my breathwork practice, enhancing my energy work, and learning trauma-informed processing techniques to guide myself and others.
Gwen’s approach is open-hearted, and Spirit-led yet also very pragmatic, keeping one grounded through the course. The curriculum was thorough, the container supportive, and the one-on-one practical experiences were priceless. I have already recommended this course to at least four of my clients!
Since I began working with Gwen the trajectory of my path has expanded at a rate I did not expect. I feel seen, heard, and held by her in a way that I have not experienced before. I cannot recommend her enough. I am forever grateful our paths crossed.

frequently asked questions
When is the training?
The next training is scheduled to start on Friday, September 6th from 10 am - 12 pm PT. The live training classes will be every 1st and 3rd Fridays in September, October, November, December 2024. The in-person Breathwork Intensive is optional and will be in October 2024.
How much time is the training each week?
In addition to the two, 2-hour live classes each month, you be expected to practice for 1 hour with an assigned partner twice a month (a new partner will be assigned to you each month, you will schedule a convenient time to practice with your partner) on the weeks when we do not have a live class. In addition to live classes, homework (reflection, reading, journaling, etc) it is suggested to block off 1-4 hours each week for the course.
What is required to receive a certificate?
In addition to attending the live class (other than in the event of an emergency that requires you to miss a class), practicing with your partners twice a month, leading a total of 12 practice individual sessions, and 2 group sessions, and sharing your unique medicine with the group in our last live class (the practicum).
What is the practicum?
The practicum is a 5-15 minute presentation for the group on your vision for how you want to share this medicine in world. For example how you envision bringing this to your current profession, to your personal life, or a dream of a non profit or business. You can share through your unique creative gifts.
Is the training in-person?
The training is all virtual to accommodate students world wide. There will be an optional, in-person, one-day training in Los Angeles in 2024 (this is in addition to the cost of the training). The purpose of this one-day intensive is to connect with your training cohort, past students who are active practitioners, learn new skills and tools to add to your breathwork facilitation.
Is this training for coaches and healers only?
No. The training is ideal for any individual who has curiosity in breathwork for their own healing, as well as to become a facilitator for others. Some of our students and graduates create breathwork services, add breathwork to existing services, or use it solely for themselves and their friends and family.
Is energy and breathwork training effective online?
Yes. This training is highly experiential, personally transformational, and will prepare you to be a space holder, guide, and breathwork facilitator for others if that is your intention.
What is the investment?
There are payment plans for the training as well as options to pay in full.
I already have training in another modality of breathing. What will I learn in this course that will be different from my other training?
I would wonder the same thing, why you are curious in doing this training with me, if you already have been trained in another modality? Meaning, what are you still looking for, what do you want to create in your life or business that you aren't doing now, and what did you see on the sales page that intrigued or inspired you to register.
Some people have said they want to know how to hold space and help clients process, or they want to be trauma informed, or they want to know more about the science behind breathwork and healing, or they have been facilitating but are ready to go to the next level, which for them might mean to hold groups, overcome imposter syndrome, fear of being seen, struggling with money or expressing themselves on social media. Whatever the reason, you will address that in this training because the training is not only to learn information, but to embody through your own transformation.
Will we learn the science of breathing and breathwork healing?
You will learn the history of breathing, the science, physiology, nervous system, poly vagal theory of breathing, breath testing, as well different breathing practices to support the nervous system between breathwork healing sessions, and what is believed to be happening during breathwork healing sessions.
What if I am not sure I have the funds or I will be able to attend the live classes?
My suggestion is to get very clear if this is something you truly want to invest your time and financial exchange in because the question might be stemming from a competing intention - meaning you aren’t and are ready to invest. If you are ready, past clients have co-created the money they deeply desired once they made the commitment.
I also encourage processing any misbeliefs you might have about your time and finances that could be preventing you from joining, if joining is what you deeply desire. I have invested in many certifications, trainings, programs, and a masters. As a coach I have learned is that sometimes it is not the divine time (and we need to honor our budgetary and time boundaries). However sometimes it is the divine time but fear shows up through not feeling like we have the funds or time. Only you will know the difference.
“I was craving community, mentorship, and knowledge. I wanted to explore my intuitive abilities. Gwen crafted a beautiful journey of lectures, questions and answers, partner work, inner reflection, group sharing, and guest speakers.
I know I received a premium approach to breath work, trauma work, and how they intersect with other schools of energy work. You will be surprised at how much ground you cover in four months. Activation forged a bond between myself and my inner knowing, and the other individuals in the container. We witnessed each other, had epiphanies, shed tears, and learned how interconnected we all are, which rippled into our worlds.
Breathwork is a powerful tool that will help you change your life and the lives of the people you do it with. Call it divine timing or fate of Gwen’s expert eye in attracting the people who are meant to work with these tools, this container will give you who and what you need as soon as you join.
Whether you are looking to facilitate breathwork, discover your intuitive abilities, connect with others on a healing journey, or catalyze your own self growth, Activation will come to you when you need it the most. Answer the call and say yes.”

“During the end of an incredibly intense hour, I felt multiple presences gently shaking my hands; not to rouse or disturb me, but sending a comforting message: “We’re always here.” I knew it was my grandparents there, too, reminding me I was not alone, and I was okay.”
