Reflective Practice for Breathwork

Share, learn and grow as a professional Breathworker or Breath Coach

Reflective Practice is an important part of professional and personal development, widely used in practitioner and clinical health settings, and complementary to your regular supervision. These spaces offer an opportunity to form connections with your peers, deepen your knowledge and practice, support and solidify your professional confidence, and spend time in reflection on your client work within a facilitated space. 

Who can attend?

Suitable for breathworkers or bodyworkers holding a qualification or certification in breathwork and who are actively working with their own clients on a 1-1 or group basis. Reflective Practice supports safe and ethical conduct/practice in the breathworking community, and enhances our knowledge, skills and confidence as breath and bodywork professionals.

Contact me if you're not sure whether your breathwork modality or profession will be a suitable fit, e.g. these spaces won't be suitable for those working with solely shamanic, holotropic or psychedelic breathwork, but in some cases will be suitable for those working with a holistic and somatic approach to the conscious connected breath or trauma release modalities (contact Candy to discuss).

She works with one-to-one clients, groups and organisations with Arras Healing. She previously worked in the public sector, NHS, and voluntary sector in transformational programmes as well as in equality, diversity and inclusion. She is a tutor in Breathwork for the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), supporting new breath coaches and breathworkers to train and develop their practice.

Candy’s approach is grounded in trauma-informed leadership and polyvagal somatic theory. She offers a unique, personalised and holistic approach to trauma healing and recovery, empowering clients to befriend their bodies, their breath, and their nervous systems. A long-time student of international trauma speaker and facilitator Dr Thomas Hübl PhD, Candy is a professional member of the International Breathwork Foundation and Apprentice with the British Rebirth Society. She also provides independent consultancy to the public sector to support transformation and service improvements.

 
As part of this commitment to a trauma-informed and integrated world, Candy runs and co-facilitates several reflective practice spaces for trauma coaches, therapists, yoga teachers, breathworkers, somatic practitioners, counsellors and holistic professionals, some of which have a global membership, and cover areas such as feminine trauma and wounding, war trauma, and breathwork. More recently she is exploring the ancestral, cultural and collective trauma held in European, British and Irish identities and supporting a community to form around this.
