An Invitation to Ethical Facilitation and Client Safety
by Jesse Coomer and Aki Tsuchiyagaito
The breathwork world has a problem it doesn't talk about enough. We have an abundance of people who know how to breathe. We have a shortage of people who know how to facilitate.
Becoming the Ethical Breathworker addresses that gap directly. Written by Jesse Coomer, founder of the Language of Breath School of Breathwork and author of The Language of Breath, this book offers a complete framework for ethical facilitation: the physiology of what breathwork actually does in the body, a five-principle ethical framework for every session, and the practical guidance to build a responsible practice over a career.
This is not a technique manual. It is an invitation into a different way of thinking about this work, and about the human beings who trust you with their nervous systems.
Breathwork is having a moment. It is appearing in therapy offices, corporate wellness programs, military training, and retreat centers around the world. People are paying significant amounts of money for sessions, certifications, and experiences. The industry is growing fast.
And a lot of people are getting hurt.
Not because breathwork doesn't work. Because far too many people are facilitating it without understanding what they are doing, why it works, or what they owe the person lying on the mat in front of them.
Becoming the Ethical Breathworker is the book the breathwork world has been missing. Written by Jesse Coomer, founder of the Language of Breath School of Breathwork and author of The Language of Breath, this is a direct, philosophically grounded, and rigorously practical guide to ethical facilitation and client safety.
You will learn what breathwork actually does in the body, including the neuroscience of altered states. You will work through a five-principle framework for ethical practice that covers everything from informed consent to scope of practice to what happens when things go wrong. And you will find the kind of honest, unflinching conversation about power, touch, boundaries, and professional responsibility that the breathwork world rarely has.
"We have an abundance of people who know how to breathe," Coomer writes. "We have a shortage of people who know how to facilitate."
This book is an invitation to become the second kind.
