Return on Investment:
  • As you’ll be learning in much smaller groups than other Breathwork Training Schools, you can be assured of a tailored learning style.
  • You’ll be guided by a Teacher and Practitioner, giving you the benefit of learning from someone who is actively sharing Breathwork classes to individuals, groups, corporates and large festival gatherings.
  • Ruth has invested in 3 different Breathwork Qualifications and further trained in multiple other modalities, that she brings into the course framework. So you directly benefit from other complementary therapies that set this training apart.
  • Ruth’s previous career sits within business and community development, marketing, events, training and mentoring others for growth both personally and within their passion projects – so you’re not only learning from this career path, but the skills and qualifications that Ruth brings from her past.
  • Ruth will have guest practitioners sharing their areas of expertise. So you’ll not only benefit from the wealth of her experience, but from other leading practitioners in this field.

 

You are required to pay a £1000 non-refundable and non-transferrable deposit, to secure your space. Monthly instalments are then required to pay your student fee in full. 80% of your course fee needs to be paid before we start. The final balance must be paid by month 4 (of 9).
