At a certain point, talking it through 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.

This is the work we teach.

How to work with the nervous system in real time—
so you’re not just guiding conversations,
you’re guiding what’s happening underneath them.

If you want to see real change, you have to go deeper.

“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.”

Not all breathwork is created equal

"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." 

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.
