This is a transformative Breathwork Healer Training facilitated by Brooke Brasfield, LCSW, 200 RYT, Integrative Clinical Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Healing Breathwork Practitioner, Usui Reiki Master Practitioner, and Meditation Facilitator. Brooke has been practicing and studying under David Elliott for the past 7 years, and is ready to bring this profound training to the Midwest region.
Join me for a powerful two-day immersive experience designed to deepen your relationship with yourself, awaken your healing gifts, and reconnect you with the sacred medicine of the breath.
This is an invitation to step away from the noise of daily life and return home to the wisdom of your heart and body - to soften, open, and remember what is already within you.
This training is rooted in the foundational practices of David Elliott’s Breathwork Healer Training and offers a deeply transformational introduction to the 2-stage Pranayama Breathwork meditation. This life-changing technique supports emotional release, energetic clearing, nervous system regulation, and profound spiritual awakening. Through the breath, we create space for what has been held to move, soften, and be met with compassion.
Over the course of two days, you will be guided through powerful personal healing experiences while also learning how to facilitate the 2-stage Pranayama Breathwork technique with others. You will begin to understand why the breath is used in this specific way, how it supports the clearing of stored emotional and energetic patterns, and how to work with the body as an ally in the healing process.
Through experiential practices, partner work, and supportive group spaces, you will deepen your connection to your intuition, build confidence in your innate gifts, and open more fully to the practice of self-love. This work is not about becoming someone new - it is about remembering who you are beneath the layers of protection, conditioning, and self-doubt.
As David Elliott teaches,
“The breath is the bridge between the body and the soul.”

This style of breathwork is rooted in self-love and intuitive awakening, grounded in the knowing that when we meet ourselves with presence and compassion, healing naturally unfolds. The intention of this training is not to fix or force change, but to create a loving, safe container where transformation can arise organically.
Whether you feel called to walk the path of a healer, deepen your existing practice, or simply come home to yourself in a more embodied and loving way, this training offers a heart-led foundation for personal and collective healing. You will leave with practical tools, embodied experience, and a deeper trust in your capacity to hold space for transformation - within yourself and for others.
Level I includes training and guidance in David’s foundational healing tools, along with in-depth discussion around the breath, the nature of healing, and what it truly means to walk the path of self-healing. This first level is the beginning of a five-level journey for those who feel called to facilitate breathwork and support others in their healing process.
Come as you are.
Let the breath meet you where you are.
Something sacred and life-changing is possible here.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

BROOKE BRASFIELD
Brooke Brasfield is a Licensed Clinical Therapist (LCSW); 200 RYT Yoga Instructor; Integrative Clinical Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Healing Breathwork Practitioner, Usui Reiki Master Practitioner, and Meditation Facilitator.
She incorporates therapy, reiki, somatic healing & bodywork, as well as healing breathwork throughout her practice and her retreats to facilitate mind, body, spirit connection, healing and transformation.
Brooke noticed there was a gap in her own healing journey and that is when she dove into holistic healing modalities. Brooke attributes these modalities to opening her mind and heart and bringing her back to her spirit - amplifying every area of her life. She deeply wants the same for you.
From Me to You: I stumbled upon Breathwork during a Business Retreat in 2019. This was at a time where I was desperately seeking and searching. I was trying to find my footing - diving into my purpose, my calling. I also started my own business - focusing solely on holistic healing. I was so excited and ready to help other's feel the deep sense of relief and calm I was feeling, but I was also finding myself moving through feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm. Often having the thought, "Who am I to do this? To teach? To guide?" Breathwork opened up something within me. Opened up a pathway to my heart that had been closed for many years, maybe even lifetimes. Breathwork provided me with another tool to calm my nervous system; to take my healing into my own hands - empowering me be present with myself, to open to healing, and to continue to follow my dreams - what I wanted, who I wanted to be (as a business owner, mentor, partner, mother, friend and daughter).
I contribute this practice to saving my life - in so many ways. This practice is something I have found myself coming back to again and again. I find that it brings me back to my heart - to my Spirit - to the undeniable magic that lives within me and the world around me. I continue to find that this practice changes with me - grows with me - changes me, for the better.
I
By learning how to be present and involved within my own healing; holding space for myself and listening to my intuition -
I have grown - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I have become a stronger, deeper, more connected human, partner, mother, friend, therapist and healer. I am honored to be able to bring that same healing to you. I hope you choose this journey - choose to open up to the healer that is within you - that has always been within you.
I have seen miracles in this work, in my own life,
in my client's lives. I want for you to see,
witness and experience those miracles as well.
