TRAINING WITH ORDINARY PEOPLE ACADEMY

You don’t need another course. You need a tool you’d trust with a real person in the room.

You’ve done the CPD. The weekend taster. The webinar you watched at 11pm with the sound turned down so you didn’t wake anyone.

You came away buzzing. Then Monday came, a client sat down in front of you, and you went straight back to what you already knew.

Because inspired isn’t the same as safe.

That’s the gap I train people across. Not the technique. The bit after the technique, when someone starts shaking, or crying, or goes very quiet, and they’re looking at you to know what happens next.

Most of the people I train already help people for a living. They’re Pilates teachers, coaches, counsellors, nurses, social workers and teachers. They don’t want a new personality or a spiritual name. They want to finish knowing exactly what they’d do, what they wouldn’t, and when it isn’t theirs to hold.

Where most people start

Breathwork Facilitator Training

For you if you already teach classes or see clients, or you’re properly ready to, and you want breathwork you’d trust with a real person in the room.

Six months, online, live with me. You learn to guide breathwork safely with one person or a full room, inside your scope. You run real sessions before you finish, not after. You leave with CIMSPA’s first endorsed breathwork qualification and IPHM accreditation behind you.

Julie took it into a children’s hospice and now runs a government-funded breathing café. Laura took her counselling practice into groups. Michael teaches in care homes where yoga never could.

You can train in a cohort, with supervision built in, or privately with me. The training page lays all three side by side.

Not ready for six months? Start with six weeks.

Fight or Flight Club

For you if you’re running on empty yourself and you want to feel what steady actually feels like before you learn to give it to anyone else.

Six weeks. One simple nervous system tool a week, starting with the gentlest way in and building, week by week, to the breath. You use every tool on yourself first, with worksheets on how you’d use it with clients later. Cameras off if you want. Sharing is always optional.

Plenty of people who now train with me started here.

What staying where you are costs

Every week a client tells you exactly why they’re anxious. Every week they leave still anxious.

Every week your class finishes the push up to standing and walks out as wired as when they walked in.

You know the body’s the missing piece. You just haven’t got a tool you trust.

It doesn’t show up on an invoice. It shows up on the drive home.
