Introduction
A sacred journey of mentorship and growth
Breathwork is a life-changing practice and excitingly I have a couple of apprenticeship places for 400 hour apprenticeship (1:1) training, through Breathing Space.
I trained as a breathwork facilitator in 2021, and it has changed my life in lots of real and tangible ways. This apprenticeship is a deeply personal, immersive experience designed to help you grow as a facilitator and as a person; I am so excited to hold space for you and your transformation through:
- One-on-one mentorship: Work closely with me and receive personalised feedback, guidance, and support every step of the way.
- Hands-on learning: Build confidence and practical skills through real-world experience in a safe, supportive environment.
- Tailored to you: Every apprenticeship is customised to honour your unique gifts, challenges, and learning style.
- Deep, transformative work: Dive into the heart and soul of breathwork, experiencing its profound impact in yourself and those you guide.

Programme structure
Breathwork facilitator curriculum overview
This unit provides trainees with all of the skills and resources that they need to create and safely run a breathwork session. Content is delivered through our online learning platform and in live seminars.
This unit looks at different levels of the Breathwork journey and how it affects us. We start empirically with the physical body and the Anatomy & Physiology of the Breath. We then move to the emotional body where we look at trauma and our role as breathworkers. Finally we explore the subtle body and how breathwork integrates creativity and spirituality.
In this unit, we will cover advanced facilitation skills including voice, touch, and transmission. We will also learn how to support ourselves financially and to build a business out of breathwork.
(Book report & Graduation project)
Trainees must choose, read and then submit three reports on books from an extensive reading list. Trainees must also complete a ‘graduation project’ (which could be a website, app, podcast, dissertation, series of artwork, etc.) - which will ideally help further the trainees’ own development.
The only real way to become a breathwork facilitator is to facilitate Breathworks. It is, therefore, a graduation requirement for trainees to receive 5 one-on-one breathworks, lead 5 one-on-one breathworks and facilitate 5 group breathworks. Self-evaluation and participant feedback must be completed for these.
If we are to hold others deep in process, we have to be prepared to go on a continuing journey of self exploration and healing of our own. Unit 6 is not directly assessed, but it is expected for trainees to have a Regular practice and go on their own personal journey.

An introduction to your guide
An introduction to your trainer
I’m Dawn Love (real name!).
I am a mother, nature lover, shamanic teacher/facilitator, energy/oracle healer, breathwork facilitator, consent and somatic practitioner, and kundalini yoga teacher.
I lovingly guide people to remember their unique gifts, their soul's magic and who the fu*k they really are.
I live in North East England, love travelling, being in nature, wild swimming, dancing.
Since being little I have always been interested in spirituality, and qualified as a Reiki Healer back in 2012. However, it was never fully embodied as I struggled to switch off the mind.
My shamanic awakening (which I believe is your soul coming 'online') began as a Kundalini activation in 2018 which manifested as a mental health breakdown/spiritual emergency.
I quit my corporate job and began to piece myself back together, determined to understand what was happening to me so that I could help others. This led me to the magical practices of shamanism and breathwork...
Before this I was a functional alcoholic, full of social anxiety, imposter syndrome and a people pleaser… it's still a work in progress!
I’ve really loved the course. Dawn holds space with warmth, humility and wisdom. there is room to experience the path for ourselves within a supportive container. The small group is nurturing and encouraging.
There’s opportunities to go as deeper with the shamanic year and I know this is just the beginning of my journey with shamanism.
I feel so much more connected to myself, my embodiment and my intuition, and to the world around me. Open to messages coming through and open to living in a spiritual way daily around my ‘real’ life.
The highlights have been learning to journey and connect with the upper and lower worlds, guides, clan, animal guides and spirits. Feeling confident enough to do this myself.
Ever since being a child I was drawn to the magical and mystical. I had awareness of my gifts and abilities but what I lacked was a supporting teacher to help me understand and develop these.
As someone who often has my head in the clouds, going around the medicine wheel with has helped me to ground, feel safer and more connected to nature and spirit than I ever thought possible.
My confidence has grown and the anxiety I once had has been replaced with a deep sense of trust in myself, and the earth.
Dawn is a fantastic guide who brings these ancient teachings to life and a simple yet magical way. The course has transformed my everyday world!
She was embodying a whole new version of herself, stepping up and into a greater level of courage and confidence as she has invested in herself and is showing up for her daily practices and focusing on her self-healing.
Saw a massive shift in her energy. She started a new job a week into the course, this helped give her confidence to stand in her power and not be afraid of stepping up into this new role, and be in her truth and face everyday challenges. She connected more to her intuition, her spirit and being able to trust her magical experiences (and quiet the left brain).
Was setting boundaries and stepping more into her power, but also releasing judgements and ego and being from compassion and her heart to communicate more of her wisdom and her magnetic truth.
The highlights of being as a mentor on, the shamanic embodiment was, the transformations that have taken place for everybody that has, participated on the course.
Just watching those transformations, the depth of it, the flourishing of their own sort of magic coming through. The magic is just being absolutely divine to watch unfold.This being really lovely.
What challenges have you faced as a mentor? Oh gosh, I think it's the exhaustion, the exhaustion, it's constant.It's that devotion to spirit and letting it move through you in every way and really getting out of your way that's what you I can't came close to the things that was asking me to let go and to really, step in to, the letting go of phase was the most challenging through the whole light.Is it like it, there's things that happen before the actual ceremonies take place every week.
So it's the things that surprise me is the rapidness of it. Cause I'm a therapist myself, so I could be sitting and put with people for 12 months before they come up with their own, their own agency.It take, that takes time where I feel like with the shamanic horse, it's the rapidness of people's transformation.
That's really surprising to be part of.I don't know if the word surprise and it kind of fits that. But that's the thing that really strikes me where I'm like, whoa, how did they get from that to that in by themselves? It's like that real stepping in of their own power.
Things I'll be taking into my own life diversion, the feeling, of what embodiment feels like. It's truly, it's magical. The, the diversion of really being with spirit and the connection with it.I always say, I think when is that sort of anticipation, you feel like you've got a call in and there's an anticipation like that. That's probably the time that you supposed to step in. It's when it feels more scary.
I'm a Reiki master and masters teacher and also a quantum healer. And this is just completely different dynamics. But I guess really what I've learnt is that there's so many similarities between each of the modalities that I use.
And I guess lots of surprises have particularly been around, things that I was struggling with on the shamanic core. So for example, going up to the upper world, and I was really struggling mentally to get my head around that.
And then I actually realised that when I'm doing all of my healing sessions for quantum healing, I'm actually operating in the upper world. So, that kind of helped challenges for me. I've been on a practical basis, just around getting to lessons cause I've got other stuff that I teach myself at night time.
But it's been absolutely amazing to be able to have the recordings, to watch afterwards. So that's been super helpful for me, on a personal basis. Biggest surprise for me was when we started to facilitate doing journeys for each other. And I haven't fully appreciated what that was gonna entail, but how much I would really enjoy it.
Just a total privilege, a massively heart opening, when I did that. So absolutely amazing. So I teach which school, and in my, level 3 course that I am pulling together at the moment, I was going to be spending a period of time on shamanism, but that's gonna take a larger proportion cause I guess I really want to share now what I've learnt, and be able to enable people, to go and do the same thing.
So hopefully make some further instructions to Dawn as well. It's a fantastic course. Dawn's an amazing teacher and she makes everybody feel, cared about, heard. And the structure of the course is great.
You've got time to be able to go away and do your further research yourself if you want to, and to really take it to whatever level you want to take it to. So it's a fantastic course, highly recommended. That wasn't as scary as I thought it was gonna be.
I was blown away from my session with Dawn. She is such a nurturing and caring healer, yet was fierce with the energies coming through.
She really took her time with me as she tuned in and gave what was needed.
She began with prayers and the drumming while bringing in all the guides and using light language.
I was purging so much of what needed to be released, then was shocked by how much was coming up to be cleared. It was so helpful with her magic touch and to see all my blind spots. She cleared out implants, thought patterns and distortions as well as memories of past partners in my field. I felt more energy in my body and the energy felt more clear for divine union.
I felt the divine guardians helping us and angelic energy, especially Melchizedek and the emerald dragons.
It was a very deep healing and I felt so much lighter.
A love interest also sent me a message in the middle of our session!
I was very grateful for such a powerful, beautiful session and for feeling much more secure with myself. Thank you!
The last nine months have been beautiful, enlightening, empowering into shamanic practice. A deep dive into reconnecting to myself and the spirit of all things. Dawn is an inspiring and thoughtful teacher who weaves the magic of shamanism into a safe and supportive container for growth and learning. Developing these practices has changed my perspective, helping me to feel calmer in daily life, to be true to myself and to find out who I really am.
It's the adventure of a lifetime and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for more of a sense of meaning, fulfilment and magic in their lives!

Why train with me?
With over five years of experience as a breathwork facilitator, I have cultivated a practice defined by depth and a grounded presence. Since qualifying with Make Some Noise in 2020, I have intentionally taken a "slow path" to teaching, prioritizing integration and mastery over haste.
My approach is informed by a rich tapestry of modalities: I have been convening women’s circles since 2019, am a qualified Kundalini Yoga instructor, and lead a certified online shamanic training (est. 2022). By weaving together shamanic practices, consent-focused space holding, and business coaching, I offer a container that is as practical as it is profound.
I am happy to offer this both online and/or in-person (for anyone in the North East of England).
