Unlock the transformative power of breath in this 15-hour live online program.
Built for coaches, therapists, space holders, healers, and future facilitators — and for anyone ready to deepen their own inner work. Whether you want to bring breathwork into your existing practice or become a certified facilitator, SHIFT meets you where you are — and takes you deeper. SHIFT Foundations is a high-impact, experiential training that blends science, somatics, and lived experience.
Inside the training, you'll learn to:
-
Understand the science and physiology of breathwork
-
Safely guide others using core techniques
-
Regulate the nervous system and support emotional release
-
Integrate breathwork into your existing practice (coaching, therapy, or body-based work)
-
Build embodied confidence as a space holder
Over two immersive days (15 hours total), you’ll experience guided breathwork, real-time integration, and supported practice—so the work moves from your head into your body and into your work.

Why Train with Me?
Oh hey, I'm Tess -
I know what it’s like to be high-functioning—but emotionally and physically tapped out.
I spent 15 years in the corporate world, achieving, performing, pushing through—while quietly battling Crohn’s disease and a deeply dysregulated nervous system. On the outside, I had the perfect life. On the inside, I was shutting down.
Breathwork changed that.
It helped me regulate, reconnect, and return to a version of myself I hadn’t felt in years—clear, grounded, and present.
Since then, I’ve guided hundreds of clients through that same shift—through classes, retreats, 1:1 sessions, and digital tools. I’ve facilitated at one of the highest-rated health retreat centres in North America, and I bring a trauma-aware, science-backed approach to every space I hold.
I also bring something most facilitators don’t:
✔️ A deep understanding of the high-performing, burnout-prone client—because I was one.
✔️ Over a decade of experience in facilitation and public speaking—which means you’ll learn how to hold space, not just teach technique.
✔️ A commitment to safety and nervous system literacy—because real healing only happens when people feel safe.
This is one of the biggest places new facilitators go wrong:
You can’t just run a session. You have to hold it.
You have to be grounded, present, and aware of how to meet what’s rising in the room—without overwhelming people or bypassing their experience.
That’s what I teach inside SHIFT Foundations.
This isn’t surface-level training. It’s a layered, embodied education designed to help you understand breathwork from the inside out—and learn to guide others through it with clarity, confidence, and care.
Here’s what clients say:
“Tess creates a space that feels safe, grounded, and transformative.”
— Group workshop participant
“After just one session, I released emotions I didn’t even know were in me.”
— SHIFT Breathwork client
“I’ve done talk therapy for years. Nothing has helped me move things through like this.”
— Retreat attendee
If you’re ready to learn this work in a way that’s intelligent, embodied, and rooted in safety—you're in the right place.
