THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?
for therapists, coaches, BODY WORKERS, retreat facilitators, and CURIOUS HUMANS.
You’re ready to step into the responsibility of holding others in this work, with care and intention
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.
WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE THE 3 DAYS?
Learning how to read the nervous system as it’s happening
This is not a sit back and take notes kind of training.YOU'LL BE...
“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’s in-person, Ritual Breathwork training was a wonderful growth experience for me on many levels. She's a gifted and compassionate teacher whose deep knowledge created a beautiful and safe container in which I was able to learn and grow in positive and unanticipated ways.”
- KIMIO
Not all breathwork is created equal
Some spaces push intensity. Big releases. Breakthrough moments.
And sometimes… more overwhelm.
THIS WORK IS DIFFERENT
You’ll learn how to work with the body in a way that prioritizes safety, regulation, and integration— so people leave more resourced, not less.
Because this work isn’t about how intense the experience is.
It’s about how well you can hold what comes up.
Certification as a Ritual Breathwork Facilitator upon completion
Earn your certification and step into this work with the confidence to begin guiding others.
Ongoing facilitator support calls for guidance, questions, and real-time refinement
Get the support you need as you begin guiding, with space to ask questions and refine your skills in real time.
Weekly virtual breathwork sessions so you can continue deepening your own practice
Stay connected to your own process through ongoing sessions that support your regulation, growth, and embodiment.
Access to our facilitator training library with session frameworks, scripts, playlists, and integration tools
Everything you need to confidently structure and guide sessions without having to figure it out on your own.
A clear practicum pathway so you can start guiding sessions with real clients
Know exactly how to move from learning into practice with structured guidance and real-world application.
Access to a community of facilitators walking this path alongside you
Be supported by others doing this work, so you’re not navigating your growth or facilitation journey alone.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN OUR TRAINING PROGRAMS
Everything you need to not just understand this work—
but actually begin guiding it.
You’re not left to figure this out on your own.
This work is learned through practice, reflection, and support...
and we’re with you every step of the way.
"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.
"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."
