Every path leads to the same place: the surrender-based method, a real facilitator credential, and the confidence to hold Breathwork for real people. You learn safe, trauma-informed facilitation and the business side of filling your first rooms.
Whichever format you choose, you train directly with Ryan and Shelby in a small cohort, and you keep the graduate community and mentorship long after your final day.
We built the online cohort for people who can't travel, or who simply want to start online. Whatever your reason, it gets you there. That said, if you can make an in-person intensive work, we always encourage it. Breathing in a room with your cohort is something a screen can't fully recreate.
Rebirthing Breathwork came out of Leonard Orr's work in the 1970s. Its core is conscious connected breathing: a continuous, circular breath with no pause between the inhale and the exhale, held long enough for the body to let go of what it has been carrying.
Ryan is certified in Rebirthing Breathwork. Liquid Breathwork grew from there, and the three things that make Rebirthing work are the three things we teach.
“So grateful for both of you, Ryan and Shelby. You’re changing my life right as we speak ... the ladies both booked for next week for paid sessions.”
After getting certified she had paid one-on-ones and a group session booked in Santa Clarita.
“I was really looking for something that was more gentle, more supportive ... and Liquid Breathwork delivered just that.”
She arrived a beginner, after one Breathwork class elsewhere that felt like a lot. She left certain that everything we need is already within us.

A short look at what a full Liquid Breathwork session actually looks like from the inside.
Sells out a women’s only class every month.
Fourteen years a registered nurse, and Ryan’s star student. She has kept those classes full for over two years.
“I felt like that one session of Breathwork was more impactful than multiple sessions of EMDR that I received in therapy.”
He now guides Liquid Breathwork along with practicing as a clinical psychologist.
Leads Breathwork at music festivals.
Gem & Jam and Peak State in Austin, 20+ people on the grass.
“The training gave me the confidence to speak with knowledge about breathwork ... the experiencer is put more at ease and able to go deeper knowing that what is happening is normal and ok.”
He has run a class or two every month since April under his own brand.
“The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student’s teachings for feedback.”
Weekly classes, held so consistently that three of her breathers came and got certified in Liquid Breathwork too.
In our training you practice on real people. In Phoenix you facilitate in the room with Ryan and Shelby watching. Online you submit recorded sessions for feedback, trade feedback with your cohort, and watch full guided sessions led by Ryan and Shelby.
Train live online for $1,497 or in person in Phoenix from $1,697. You leave with the methodology, the trauma-informed safety training, and the business groundwork: pricing, marketing, and how to fill your first sessions.
To be clear, this is the Liquid Breathwork facilitator certification. It is not issued or endorsed by a Rebirthing school or organization. What you get is a Breathwork certification taught by a facilitator certified in that lineage, plus everything we built on top of it.
Every Liquid Breathwork session is trauma-informed. You set the pace, you stay in control, and nothing is forced. Integration support is always offered, and our door is open if you need to talk.
Founder & Lead Facilitator
8 years guiding Breathwork, 7 breath programs behind him including 4 full certifications, and a 21-day Breath Mastery Retreat in the Baja desert with Dan Brulé. He has guided hundreds of one-on-one sessions and led groups for thousands of people. Ryan created the surrender-based method this training is built on.
Co-Founder & Lead Facilitator
A registered nurse of fourteen years, and the graduate Ryan still calls his “Star Student”. She has been selling out women’s only classes almost every month for more than two years. Shelby brings an intuitive & nurturing energy into sessions and the training, which is the part of facilitation nobody learns from a video.
"What a growing experience I have had the pleasure of having with Ryan. I'm so happy I took the chance to reach out when coming across him on the social platform. He has been so warm and authentic from the first moment we got introduced. I have learnt so much through his journey and grateful for him sharing it and the technique of this amazing Breathwork with me. Do not hesitate, just do and let Ryan guide you."
"Ryan and Shelby are incredible! They create a very safe and supportive environment to practice Liquid Breathwork. I always get exactly what I need. I highly recommend taking a class!"
"I was so intimidated before starting and to now feel that it's all possible feels so exciting. Super grateful for this experience! Thank you Ryan! You're such a gentle soul, wealth of knowledge, and make learning Breathwork fun and simplified!"
"The Liquid Breathwork Masters Course has been amazing! The videos are packed full of helpful content on the breath, as well as the more technical side of hosting Breathwork classes like audio equipment, Zoom tips, and crafting incredible playlists. The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student's teachings for feedback."
"The space you both created during the course felt incredibly warm, welcoming, and safe, which made it easy to stay present and engaged throughout. The simplicity of the Breathwork really stayed with me, and I've already started noticing how restorative it is. Grateful for the experience and for both of you!"
"LBW is always a worthwhile experience. Ryan and Shelby tend to always find a way to cultivate an environment that allows clients the space to identify and realize what they need. For me, it's a perfect stage-setter in lead up to a stressful week."
It is a Breathwork facilitator certification taught by a facilitator who holds a Rebirthing Breathwork certification. Liquid Breathwork is built on the same circular connected breath. The credential you earn is the Liquid Breathwork facilitator credential, not one issued by a Rebirthing organization.
Same connected breath. We add intermittent breath holds, keep every session surrender-based rather than cathartic, and build integration into the work. You also practice live on real people.
Tuition is $1,497 for the live online cohort and starts at $1,697 for the in-person Phoenix intensive. A deposit holds your spot and monthly payment plans are available. The connected breath is taught the same way in both formats.
Train in the circular connected breath with someone certified in the Rebirthing lineage, then guide it for real people. See the full training and pick the format that fits, or book a call to talk it through first.
