Who’s this Breathwork Certification Program for?
You know there’s more to life than trading your soul for the 9-5 grind…
And you’re ready to take your healing deeper and reduce stress and anxiety now.
You may be feeling like you’re stuck in a rut, disconnected from yourself and Source, and not quite sure what your purpose is (but you know you’re meant for MORE!).
Some part of you knows you’re meant to be a healer, but you’re not quite sure what that looks like yet.
There’s just a whisper in your heart calling you to take the next step… Calling you to follow your intuition and your “full-body YES”.
Are you going to be brave enough to follow it?
Or, maybe you’re already a wellness professional, coach, or therapist who wants to make a bigger impact and reach more people…
But you may feel stuck and like you’re not reaching your full potential.
You’ve been using a top-down mindset approach with clients, but it’s just not creating LASTING results.
With breathwork, you know you could take your clients even DEEPER to experience powerful lasting, rapid transformation!
Hear from our students…
No matter who you are, you’re here for a reason…
You desire MORE. There’s a calling and whisper from within.
You’re ready to follow the soul-led path and become the lightworker you came here to be. You’re ready to help others heal and change the world.
And the fire in your belly’s lit to step into YOUR infinite potential!
Is this resonating?
If so, I know you have what it takes to step into leadership and create MASSIVE positive change.
Being here is your first step toward doing just that. The act of YOU stepping into your power and giving yourself permission to follow your bliss will have a ripple effect that will enable others to do the same.
When you learn how to do breathwork to heal yourself, you can confidently support others on their healing journeys too.
Not only that, but you can make an abundant living and feel completely financially free by offering this work to others.
It’s possible to make a positive difference in people’s lives, do work that lights you up, AND make a lot of money at the same time.
Are you ready to follow the calling in your soul and serve the world in the way that’s most meaningful to you?
You’ll be able to do exactly that after going through the Pause Breathwork Facilitator Training!
Hear From Our Students...
I have been on a personal development journey for a while, and breathwork is the most powerful tool I have ever come across.
– Kelsey Emmanuel
Breathwork changed my life the first time I tried it. I was able to get out of my head and let my body do what it needed to do to release stuck emotion and trauma I had stored for years.
– Kristin Johnson
It has helped me see my therapy clients (who suffer from a lot of past and current trauma) through a new lens.
– Teresa Jansen
The Pause Breathwork Facilitator Training Program is a 6 month journey to become a MASTERFUL certified breathwork facilitator.
It’s expertly designed to give you the personal growth & skill set to become a powerful facilitator that knows how to change the world.
It goes beyond cognitive (mind-based) therapy, and helps people heal on a deep somatic (body-based) level.
It’s the perfect solution for anyone who’s tried everything from meditation, medication, talk-based therapy, or mindset work only to find those methods only scratch the surface and haven’t created the sustainable change they desire.
Breathwork is for those who want to dive DEEPER within themselves, and take their clients deeper too as a result.

What Makes Pause Different?
A Focus on Your Own Healing First
What takes someone from being a mediocre facilitator to a masterful one is their own integration and embodiment. At Pause, the first 3 months of your training will be for your own healing and growth, so that you can become a living, breathing example of this work.
We Are Mission-Centered
Our mission at Pause Breathwork is to increase human consciousness and decrease suffering through the power of breathwork. The goal here is to wake the world up to our infinite potential. Everything we do at Pause is aligned with this clear mission.
We Teach From a
Trauma-Aware Lens
Creating safer and more inclusive containers is foundational to how we train new breathwork facilitators. Our curriculum is trauma-aware and our staff embody these principles. You will graduate the program as a Trauma-Aware Pause Breathwork Facilitator.
We Focus on
Results-Based Journeys
Unlike other schools of breathwork that are focused on general sessions, Pause Breathwork is designed to create focus and direction within breathwork and self-healing. We set a specific intention for each session which helps influence healing towards a desired outcome. We have a desired outcome of the session and create the session to optimize for the particular need.

Whether it’s through breathwork, somatic coaching, yoga, or Reiki, she believes in the wisdom of the body and the importance of honoring its sensations and intuition.

Corporate Facilitation
Work with corporate entities to bring the power of breathwork into more traditional work settings. As society continues to acknowledge the benefits of self-care and alternative healing, there’s a growing opportunity to work with larger companies to facilitate breathwork as a means of employee care, alignment, and retention.
Workshops & Events
You can reach a wider audience by hosting workshops both in person and online. These events can reach people outside of your traditional audience and help introduce a wide range of people to the power of breathwork. Events and workshops are also great for building your professional network and community!
Community Events
Perhaps you don’t want to create a business out of breathwork, but instead use this body of work to create community, connection, and healing within your own local community.

A Note From Samantha
I feel so confident that you’ll receive way more value than what you actually pay. Over the past 15 years, I’ve invested over $500,000 in business mentorship, workshops, training programs, executive coaching and energy work… all in pursuit of equipping myself with the most innovative and aligned strategies for building this empire. Even today, I am constantly investing in my own evolution, both professionally and personally.
My intention behind creating this program is to deliver to you all that I have cultivated and invested in along the journey of building Pause Breathwork. The value of what is delivered is only a fraction of what it’s worth, and it will equip you with everything you need to create a legacy of your own.
The leaders we create here know no bounds, and neither does their income potential!

Frequently Asked Questions
Pause Breathwork is a method where we use continual breathwork to break down emotions in the body that are stagnant and create havoc on our energetic systems. Breathwork is a practice of allowing our systems to see a different perspective whereby we feel deeply connected to our bodies and understand and experience the intelligence contained within our systems. Pause Breathwork is a way to heal, release, and transform.
The core difference is that Pause Breathwork is for healing and transformation. There are a lot of breathing practices where the goal or outcome is relaxation, but with Pause, relaxation and connection are an after effect of the practice. The goal with Pause is to unearth the stuck energy that prevents us from living in our highest alignment and operating in elevated frequencies.
Here are the most common benefits:
- Immediate stress reduction & anxiety relief.
- Connect with your emotions & change your response to them.
- Revitalizes your organs.
- Gives you access to your higher power.
- Reduces toxins in your body & provides an energetic release.
- More energy & mental clarity.
- Deepens your relationship to your body.
- Release trauma that has been stuck in your system for years.

The commitment is going to feel different for each of the students. We love to share that during the entirety of the program you can expect that the hours/wk will fluctuate anywhere from 4-15.

The majority of our students either have a full time job or are already working over 40 hours in their wellness businesses. We encourage our students to time block & the importance of essentialism to make the program easy to fit into a busy schedule. And also…remember, if the body says yes, you will figure out the rest.
