Elevation Breath & Cold Guide Certification
The Elevation Breath & Cold Guide Certification is a two day immersive training designed for those who feel called to confidently guide others through the transformative practices of breathwork and intentional cold exposure.
Set in the Rocky Mountains at Freebird Valley, this hands on certification combines evidence based education with practical experience, giving participants the knowledge, confidence, and skills to safely facilitate both breathwork and cold immersion experiences.
Upon completion of the training, participants will receive certification in both Breathwork Facilitation and Cold Guidance.
What You’ll Learn:
Throughout the training, participants will explore both the science and application of breath and cold, including:
- Breathwork facilitation and coaching techniques, with an emphasis on performance breathing and a variety of evidence based breathing practices
- Intentional cold exposure and contrast therapy guidance
- Anatomy, biology, and physiology of breathing, oxygen utilization, and cardiovascular function
- Nervous system regulation, resilience, and stress adaptation
- How to recognize different nervous system states and confidently support participants through them
- Safety protocols, contraindications, and facilitator responsibilities
- Professional scope of practice and ethical facilitation
- How breath and cold can be used to enhance physical performance, recovery, resilience, and overall wellbeing
- The history of cold exposure across cultures, traditions, and healing practices throughout the world
- Water as medicine, exploring the relationship between humans and water as a tool for healing, purification, resilience, and transformation
- Traditional wisdom and modern science behind hydrotherapy, cold immersion, and contrast therapy
- How to confidently facilitate individuals and groups through breathwork and intentional cold exposure experiences
Trauma Informed Facilitation:
One of the foundational pillars of the Elevation Certification is trauma informed facilitation.
We believe every facilitator has a responsibility to understand trauma, create safe and supportive environments, recognize their professional limitations, and facilitate within an ethical scope of practice.
This integrated component of the training provides students with the knowledge and awareness needed to confidently and responsibly guide others through breathwork, intentional cold exposure, and nervous system regulation, ensuring every graduate leaves with a strong foundation in safe, ethical, and trauma informed facilitation.
Your Facilitators:
Jeremiah Davidson and Gillian Simpson have each spent more than a decade immersed in the fields of breathwork, intentional cold exposure, and nervous system regulation.
After meeting through this work years ago, they have gone on to guide thousands of individuals through workshops, retreats, certifications, and transformational experiences. Together, they bring years of practical experience, education, and a shared passion for helping others become skilled, ethical, and confident facilitators.
The Elevation Breath & Cold Guide Certification is the culmination of their combined experience, blending science, practical application, leadership, and transformation into one immersive training designed to develop the next generation of breath and cold guides.
