This is for
you if…
WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?
You’re a coach, therapist, or space holder who:
At a certain point, talking it out isn’t enough.
Your clients understand their patterns.
They can name their triggers. And still… they stay stuck.
Because the body is still in protection.
A nervous system in survival won’t respond
to more processing or more positive thinking.
If you want to see change, you need to be able to take your clients deeper. (Not just further into the story.)
THE REAL WORK BEGINS IN THE BODY.
This is the work
we teach.
How to work with the nervous system in real time...
so you’re not just facilitation powerful conversations,
you’re guiding what’s happening underneath them.

HYBRID VIRTUAL + STUDIO TRAINING:
“Kali is the best of the best and if you're ready to change the world with you are called to be...DO THIS TRAINING. It feels like an un-training - an un-training of the long held belief that what you do is who you are. You aren't being trained in what to do. You're being trained in who to be.”

Kali May is at the forefront of a new paradigm in mental health—one where somatic science and ancient healing traditions meet. Through her Ritual Breathwork Method, she integrates evidence-based nervous system practices with sacred ceremony to support deep emotional healing and embodied transformation.
With a background in clinical psychology and experience working in underground plant medicine spaces, Kali developed a method that draws on somatic science to address core emotional patterns, restore regulation to the nervous system, and reconnect individuals to their inner wisdom. Her work bridges the gap between body-based science and spirituality, offering an integrative path to wholeness.
As a Psychedelic-Informed Somatic Breathwork Facilitator and Reiki Energy Practitioner, Kali is devoted to advancing trauma-aware, heart-led healing through the language of the body.
"I travelled from Canada down to Ojai for Kali’s Ritual Breathwork Practitioner training and it was beyond worth it. She not only delivers the somatic fundamentals necessary for safety in this modality but also brings in the much needed energetic and spiritual layers to the experience that help unite the mind-body-spirit connection."
"I didn’t know what I was missing until I found it… Ritual Breathwork allows you to open to your unique gifts by giving you
framework to build with."
