Endorsed By Medical Doctors...
Dr Andrew Horwood G.P
I have known and worked with Nicholas and Susan de Castella for over 10 years. Over 200 of my patients during this time have reported more energy; lessening of physical pain; increased understanding of their life situation; a range of skills that can be used in all sorts of situations to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression; improved mood; improved coping skills with life stressors; more passion in their lives, and hence, improved relationships; finding a network of genuine friends from whom they feel support.
Some of my patients attending Seminars have been particularly ill, either physically or mentally, and these patients, too, have been able to make great gains during a short time. I conclude by thoroughly recommending the range of Seminars facilitated by Nicholas & Susan de Castella. These are high quality events with the potential for changing people’s lives forever.
Dr. Margaret Ngu G.P.
As medical doctors you would want to benefit from their transforming work for yourself and of course your patients. I have found Nicholas and Susan to be heartfelt beings who practice what they preach and in doing so have that special quality of authentic and infectious teaching by example. Both are well experienced healing processes, which as a holistic practitioner for more than 25yrs.
I know it as essential for my patients to access in order to regain wellness. Whether facilitated in individual sessions or in groups, patients will get help for the emotional and mental dimensions of their symptoms, which most GPs have no time to delve into, whether it is depression, chronic fatigue, asthma, degenerative illness of all kinds. Your patients will be thankful for Nicholas and Susan's help.
Dr. Peter Johnston G.P.
I have attended Passionately Alive, Manhood and Relationship. I have found them helpful and inspiring. I recommend my patients to attend. In fact I believe emotional and heart centred work is essential for personal growth and healing. I recommend these workshops to anyone with chronic disease, relationship problems, emotional crisis and those wanting to avoid these.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Certification
If you are considering Breathwork training in Australia, these are some of the most common questions we receive about the Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Certificate Training with Australian Breathwork College.
This training is designed for heart-led coaches, therapists, counsellors, health professionals, yoga teachers, meditation teachers, healers and facilitators who want to become confident, ethical and trauma-informed Breathwork Coaches.
What is different about Core Clearing Breathwork Training?
The Core Clearing Process uses an elegant and sophisticated heart-centred Breathwork style that has been developed, tested and refined through more than 30 years of professional Breathwork facilitation.
This approach is gentle, client-led and designed to support emotional safety, nervous system regulation and deeper self-awareness.
If you already support people, you may have noticed that surface-level tools and short-term techniques often do not reach the deeper emotional roots of stress, anxiety, self-doubt, trauma patterns or inner conflict.
Rather than forcing release or chasing dramatic breakthroughs, Core Clearing Breathwork teaches facilitators how to create a safe space where clients can reconnect with their body, emotions, breath and heart.
This training is not simply about learning techniques. It is about growing personally while developing embodied facilitation skills, ethical clarity, emotional maturity and co-regulation capacity, so transformation can unfold naturally, quickly and gently.
The training focuses on:
· Presence
· Emotional safety
· Heart connection
· Nervous system regulation
· Subconscious emotional clearing
· Compassionate facilitation
· Trauma-informed practice
· Ethical professional development
What makes the training especially valuable is the combination of more than 30 years of professional experience, personal embodiment, facilitator presence, co-regulation, deeper emotional clearing and ongoing mentoring and community support.
The aim is not simply for you to know how to lead a Breathwork session, but to develop the confidence, presence and professional skills to meet real clients where they are and guide them safely through meaningful change.
Is the Core Clearing Breathwork Training evidence-informed?
Yes. The Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Certification integrates evidence-informed principles from a range of recognised fields, including:
• Mindfulness-based self-regulation
• Somatic and body-based therapy principles
• Emotional processing and emotional intelligence frameworks
• Nervous system regulation
• Heart coherence and heart-centred meditation practices
• Trauma-informed facilitation principles
These principles are integrated with more than 30 years of professional Breathwork facilitation experience to create a practical, embodied approach to working with clients.
How long does the Breathwork Certification take?
The Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Certification runs over approximately 14 weeks.
The program has been designed to give you time to learn, practise and personally integrate the work rather than simply completing information as quickly as possible.
How much time should I allow each week?
The training has been designed to be achievable alongside work, family and other commitments.
Most weeks, allow approximately:
· 90 minutes per week for learning modules
· 5–20 minutes per day for personal integration practices
· One live Breathwork skills training weekend
· Four evening integration and follow-up sessions
This creates a well-supported and achievable online Breathwork certification program that allows you to learn, practise and integrate the work deeply.
Is this a recognised Breathwork Certification?
Yes. Upon successful completion, you receive a Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Certificate from Australian Breathwork College.
Graduates may apply for professional membership with the International Institute for Complementary Therapies (IICT), including practitioner listing and access to professional indemnity insurance, subject to IICT eligibility requirements.
Can I obtain Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Yes. Graduates may apply for professional membership and professional indemnity insurance through the International Institute for Complementary Therapies (IICT), subject to their eligibility and insurance requirements.
Who is this Core Clearing Breathwork Training designed for?
This training was created for people who want to work gently, safely and effectively at the emotional and nervous-system core of human experience.
It is especially suited to:
• Coaches
• Counsellors
• Psychologists
• Nurses
• Allied health professionals
• Yoga teachers
• Meditation teachers
• Reiki and energy healers
• Sound healers
• Facilitators and space holders
• People transitioning into a heart-led healing career
It is particularly valuable for people who want to work more deeply and holistically with others while developing their own emotional maturity, presence and capacity to co-regulate.
Is this the right Breathwork Training for me?
The Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Certification may be a wonderful fit if you are looking for a heart-centred, gentle and professional approach to helping people create meaningful change.
It is particularly suited to people who value personal growth, emotional awareness, presence, compassion and embodied learning.
It may be less suited to people who are primarily looking for:
• A quick-fix technique
• A certificate without personal embodiment
• A forceful or highly cathartic breakthrough method
• A purely intellectual training
• A collection of techniques without inner work
The Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Certification involves emotional maturity, personal responsibility and a willingness to engage in your own healing and integration.
Is Core Clearing Breathwork a safe approach to Breathwork?
Core Clearing Breathwork uses a gentle, heart-centred, client-led and trauma-informed approach designed to prioritise emotional safety, choice, presence, compassion and nervous system regulation.
As with all forms of Breathwork, it may not be suitable for everyone at all times. Extra care, referral or medical approval may be required for individuals experiencing:
• Recent psychological instability
• Active suicidal ideation
• Recent self-harm
• Severe unmanaged mental health conditions
• Certain medical or psychiatric conditions
A full list of cautions and contraindications is provided during the training.
Students are taught to practise ethically, remain within their scope of practice and refer clients to appropriate medical or mental health professionals where needed.
Is this Breathwork Training trauma-informed?
Yes. The Core Clearing approach is a trauma-informed Breathwork training that emphasises safety, presence, choice, consent, nervous system regulation and emotional integration.
Rather than pushing clients into catharsis or intense emotional release, this method helps facilitators create a safe and compassionate space where clients can access their own inner wisdom and healing capacity.
The training includes principles of:
• Self-regulation and co-regulation
• Emotional intelligence
• Client-led facilitation
• Somatic awareness
• Ethical practice
• Clear boundaries and scope of practice
Can I study this Breathwork Certification online?
Yes. This is an online Breathwork Coach Certification combining live training, self-paced learning modules, supervised follow-up sessions and ongoing community support.
This allows you to complete the training from wherever you live while still receiving live interaction, practical experience, mentoring and connection with other students.
