We train and certify coaches to facilitate breathwork—so they can grow a business that increases their income, impact, and freedom.

We’re Pause Breathwork, and we’re so glad you’re here.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to make emotional suffering optional through breathwork and somatic healing.

We are the world leading academy training coaches and leaders in the most effective breathwork and somatic healing methods so they can facilitate deep transformation for their clients, and of course – themselves.

Because true change doesn’t happen in the mind alone—it happens in the body. And when you master these tools, you don’t just help people talk about transformation—you help them feel it, embody it, and live it.

“Before I started breathwork, I was dealing with so much buried pain, anger, and sadness. I knew I was holding back and that I wasn’t loving myself or showing up the way I wanted to in life. I didn’t realize how much I had closed off until I started doing breathwork.”

– Marli A.

“Breathwork organically brings forth what you need in the moment. It’s so powerful because it brings your awareness to the present – to what is within you and what has always been there. I’m prone to spending too much time in my head, always allowing my mind to hijack my experience and spin a web of anxiety and stress, but breathwork physically pulls me back into my body and into the present moment.”

– Jennie K.

“Pause Breathwork is the most powerful tool I have ever come across. It has given me access to shift what impacts my every moment – my energy. Through breathwork, I have been able to access my body’s wisdom in an instant, and I don’t have to rely on anything external. Breathwork has helped me do the inner work to act in alignment with the better version of myself.”

– Kelsey E.

The Pause Breathwork Method

At Pause Breathwork, our signature method of somatic breathwork reconnects the power of the mind with the innate wisdom of the body, providing a deeply experiential and transformational pathway to growth and healing.

Grounded in neuroscience and rooted in trauma awareness, our approach integrates somatic breathwork, body-based techniques, and coaching to safely uncover and release suppressed emotions and physical tension stored within the body. With a compassionate understanding of how trauma impacts the nervous system, our method creates a safe and supportive environment for individuals to process and heal at their own pace.

Through the development of somatic awareness, participants gain clarity, emotional freedom, and authentic alignment, unlocking their full potential and reclaiming their inner power.
