  • Learn trauma-informed practices and facilitation skills
  • Discover how science and breathwork support each other
  • Dive into the anatomy of breathwork and the body
  • Support your clients through pregnancy

Frequently asked questions

What is the Pause Breathwork Method?

Pause Breathwork uses continual connected breathing to move stagnant emotions stored in the body. It's a trauma-informed approach that creates safety while facilitating deep transformation.

I've never facilitated before. Is this for me?

Yes. The training starts with foundations and personal embodiment, then builds facilitation skill phase by phase — most of our graduates started with no prior facilitation experience.

How is this different from other breathwork trainings?

The Pause Method is trauma-informed, results-based and somatic. Every journey is designed with a clear intention and outcome, and you graduate with a business blueprint, not just a technique.

Will I have direct access to Samantha?

Yes. Weekly live embodiment calls are led by Samantha and our expert trainers, with ongoing guidance and support throughout the six months.
