I’ve just begun a brand-new chapter in my breathwork journey — a 400-hour facilitator training with Breathing Space that will take place over the next 10 months. And while I’ve already completed one breathwork instructor course less than a year ago, something deep within me knew I wasn’t done. Not even close.

So yes, I’ve said yes to training in breathwork again. And here’s why.

A friend who trained alongside me in my previous breathwork course told me she was jumping into this next training and was amazed at the content. She spoke about the programme and the co-founder Ben, and I felt that familiar pull in my gut. Curiosity. Excitement. Readiness.

At first, I said no. It was a big financial commitment, and I had only just completed my first training. But something nudged me to jump on the information call anyway — and after hearing more, I couldn’t not do it. I followed that nudge and booked a 1:1 with Ben. Something just clicked. His energy, his depth, the way he asked questions — I felt seen, heard, and like this was the next natural step. It wasn’t just another training. It felt like a homecoming to something much deeper.

Unlike my first training, which was more foundational and instructor-led over three months, this programme spans 10 months and includes conscious connected breathwork (CCB), trauma-informed practices, personal healing, and assessments — but it’s also so much more. It’s a beautiful blend of techniques, tools for holding safe and sacred space, the use of music, and other healing breathwork styles. It’s a full-bodied, whole-life kind of journey.

Because I’m not the same woman I was last April. I’ve grown. I’ve softened. I’ve become more curious about what’s still waiting to be healed within me — and how I can hold that space even better for the women I support.

This isn’t just for my professional growth. It’s for me, too. For my nervous system. My heart. My truth.

I want to come home to myself in ways I haven’t yet. To explore parts of me that still feel unsafe or unseen. And to learn how to guide others through that same return — with integrity, compassion, and embodied presence.

Let me be real: it’s a lot. There’s overwhelm. There’s “How will I do this?” There’s “Can I hold this much?”

But I’m learning to breathe through it — literally. One breath, one lesson, one moment at a time.

Already, some big realisations have landed. One that shook me a little: I always thought “home” was my safe space. But I’ve come to understand that for me, home — the one I grew up in — isn’t safety. It’s familiarity. It’s a place where I didn’t feel seen or heard. That realisation was raw.

Now? Home feels like being outside in the fresh air. Walking. Being with my children. That’s where I feel free. That’s where I can breathe. That’s where I can be me.

Music and movement are also home to me. I used to be a dancer, and that was my safe place for most of my life. These days, that same sense of safety and self-expression flows through my yoga practice, my Peloton rides, and through breathwork. It’s where I come back to myself again and again.

And that truth alone has cracked something wide open inside me.

The content of this training is vast and deep — but what’s been surprising is how supportive it feels. The mentors are kind. The structure is flexible and honours how we each reflect and work. I can already tell this is going to become a huge part of my life.

More healing. More presence. More connection — to myself, to others, to life.

I want to move through the next 10 months with openness and depth, and allow this journey to change me. I want to slowly peel back the layers of what still feels unsafe in my body. To shed more of the armour. To feel even more rooted in who I am — not who I was told to be.

And for my work? I see this breathwork training weaving beautifully into the RISE Method I’ve created. I see specialist CCB classes. I see retreats. A studio space one day. Maybe even teaching this work to others.

But most of all, I see a future where I continue holding powerful, beautiful spaces — online and in person — for women to come home to themselves. Where the breath leads the way.

Maybe you’re feeling it too. That call to breathe deeper. To heal something you can’t quite name. To reconnect with a version of yourself you haven’t met yet.

You don’t have to be ready. You just have to be open.

I’m walking this path right now, learning, growing, and deeply grateful to be part of this journey. I have no doubt that over the next 10 months, this training will become a foundational part of my growth and my life.

With love and breath,

Lee-Anne xx
