What People Are Saying
ANNIE H: "Nichole is a force of nature. Not only did I deepen my understanding of the mechanics of breathing but I also healed and released a ton of hidden trauma during the Embodied Breathwork Facilitator Training. If you're ready for a noticeable shift in your life and you're ready to connect with the medicine of breath- then I highly recommend working with this wise and remarkable teacher. You will not regret it!"
CLINTON M: "The Embodied Breathwork Training with Nichole was exactly what I was looking for in a certification course. From beginning to end, her process was beautiful and perfectly bridged the gap between the science and spirituality of breathwork. Nichole is an incredible guide, she has amazing energy, and I highly recommend her course. You'll learn so much about the power of breathwork, how to be an authentic and effective guide, how to coach a variety of techniques and practices, and you'll learn about yourself and grow as a person in a supportive community. 10/10!"
KAILEY B: "I just completed Nichole's embodied breath work facilitator training. It was AMAZING. We dove deep into all of the realms of breath work that I was desiring to explore. We dove into the science of breath, we explored trauma and trauma responses, covered over 10 styles of breath + were guided through many of our own experiences. In completing this training I feel confident to guide my own clients and classes in breath work. I have the tangible knowledge and also the experiences necessary to guide my future students into their own journeys. Nichole is amazing at what she does and truly embodies what it means to be a facilitator by not only providing the knowledge but living what she speaks. It's so easy to trust in her and in the practices that she teaches because of this. If you're looking to be a breath work facilitator yourself... START HERE!"
JOSH E: "The breathwork facilitator training class with Nichole Ferro was truly amazing. Throughout the training, I felt held, seen, and supported by her presence. Her gentle yet powerful approach allowed me to fully surrender and trust in the process, and I was able to tap into parts of myself that I had long buried or ignored. Her ability to create a safe and sacred space allowed me to release and heal in ways that I never knew to be possible."
JANA L: "I was brought to this place not by accident, but by the divine force around and within me! After taking a few breathwork classes here, I wanted to learn how I could use this amazing tool to help those who reach out to me for help. Finding that Nichole Ferro was teaching a class felt like destiny! Today as I conclude my course I am grateful to say I am an embodied breathwork facilitator! Nichole conducted the classes with power, kindness and knowledge. We were all in! She kept our attention the whole time! Together we have grown, shared our traumas, cried, laughed and created a connection that only God can make happen! I will forever remember this day! I hope you give this a shot! You won't regret it!"
