Amazing shares! BEST program ever for sure!
Robyn
I’m celebrating growth and empowerment. Every day I welcome new lessons that help propel me forward to the best version of myself! I’m grateful for the discomfort because it means I’m getting closer to realizing my true potential.
Anna-Miriam DeNovo
In the beginning of this course I thought that I would never be able to facilitate a breath session. I wasn’t able to feel into the energetic and spiritual side of breathwork. It was expressed throughout the course that we’re all different and that we all progress in our own time, that it might take the whole course before some of that landed. I’m celebrating that it has landed and I’m growing more and more everyday and being able to apply all of what I’ve learned in this program to my breath sessions and feeling more confident in myself as time goes by.
Brian Oshie
Pause has been one of one of the best journeys of my life. Its been challenging, expansive and rewarding. I have so much gratitude for the little fire cracker that is Samantha Skelly and her amazing team. In six transformational months Ive healed past traumas, let go of limiting beliefs, formed the best friendships and established a new career. The vibe is high, the support unwavering and the knowledge and skills demonstrated by the mentors mind blowing. Im going to make my kids do this course when they’re older!! Thank you Pause for the life upgrade, for helping me find my life’s purpose and giving me the skills to fulfil it. Im going to make you proud!! Forever grateful xxx.
Caroline Gibson
I have completely changed this year, due to this program. Not an exxageration.
Courtney Chase
I started a youtube channel!! I still have so many kinks to work out but my first interview is LIVE! I’m so excited to be featuring a new breathwork facilitator or coach each monday! I haven’t felt this aligned in the work I do in my business for a LONG long time. Ahhh!!
Dakota Hunt
The embodiment calls were a highlight as well as the may opportunities to do integrative and meditative breath session with the team .
Dawn Worwa
Celebrating my first in-person breathing session! It was a couple who wanted to connect deeper with each other, so we did a 1-hour integrative session. It was so good!
Debra Cober
Celebrating that I put out my very raw and vulnerable personal story of depression and rupture (and repair) in my marriage on the FitMama Podcast and shared how much breathwork was a catalyst in bringing me home to myself again. So much positive feedback and love from my community and so cathartic to share publicly after hiding for over 3 years. Thank you to this community and the mentors for supporting me on this journey!
Jen Oliver
I’m excited to graduate! And love experiencing this community!
JoAnne Garrow
just met with a new student in PFT who’s been in our world for the past two years, attending webinars and lives, and she just committed to the training! she shared that she saw me share my story with breathwork and anxiety on a webinar, and that was part of what gave her permission to step into this work despite the anxiety that she’s been experiencing! she’s doing THE THING!!!
Johna Rista
I just ran my first breath work session in the prison for staff and it was amazing!!!! Given the restrictions inside a prison everything that could have went wrong did and ended up with more or less no music and completely winging it, a perfect representation of day to day life inside the jail, making the most of what you have.As an ex prisoner officer myself, I ran the session for the staff, this is a world where this work is a completely foreign concept and people are very skeptical of anything ‘woo woo’ and I got to share this gift with my ex colleagues. I got to make it playful and really meet them where they were at and they were so receptive and it was such a powerful session.I am sooo over the moon with how well it went and I’m going to be voluntarily running weekly sessions over winter to support the staff in there who deal with SO MUCH every single day in very volatile + traumatic conditions. I am so overwhelmed with joy this afternoon that I get to do this it is truly so close to my heart Thank you to each and every one of you that has been on this journey with me, inspiring me, supporting me and showing up to do the work alongside me. So so grateful for this container and the magic we are all bringing to the world.
Karen Ellis
I thought this course would help me build my intuition. Turns out it helped me connect back to it.
KARLA SNOW
I know I was trained very well, with a very high caliber of instructors and I feel proud to say I trained with PAUSE. I feel confident and so happy with the style of breathwork I’m trained to offer.
Katie Allendar
i just opened Japanese free FB community for breathwork!! 34 people joined so far.. Tears on my eyes.
Kazue Wells-Fallon
I put together a women’s hike last Sunday. Expecting a small turnout, maybe a few people to hike with. I created a canva for the event (see pic below) I even spelled woman wrong. Ooops! Im not sure what happened, but we had 50 women show up at 7am on a Sunday. Blew my mind! It showed me how incredibly important it is to be in community and be seen by other women and breathe in togetherness. I thought I’d share as an encouragement for anyone hesitating to put on that first event and/or taking the step to offer your hand. Your gifts matter and are so needed. It allows others to then see their own gifts and then create for themselves which in turn will help even more people. We are meant to do this work! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if ever you want to learn how to create promo material etc, I’d love to support anywhere I can. (don’t ask me to spell though.
Michelle Argyris
What a powerful day. Celebrating breathing the bride and her bridesmaids on her big day and then 1:1 session with the groom. I felt so much love in so many different ways. The sisterhood, self love, romantic love, family love. Just wow.So celebrating the depths of love in full spectrum today.
Michelle Argyrys
I just lead my first 2 sessions. One was 1:1 in person and then afterwards I hosted an online Family Centered Breathwork session. My mind is BLOWN. The first session was simply magical. We worked through some astral energy/projection and soul fragment collection. I’ve done this before with reiki, sound bath, etc…. But to see how HUGE this is to create the space for healing and downloads for people is HUGE!!! I’ve received numerous thankful texts and have someone that wants to get on a biweekly session schedule with me now!! Wow. I am grateful.
Natalia Meyerhoffer
I loved all the energy learning and how the program helped to develop my own personal awareness of my own and others energy. I’m also taking away some wonderful new friendships and an incredible community.
POLLY WARREN
Celebrating that click over to 60 practicum hours on my process tracker! Wow- what a journey! I’m deeply grateful to Sam for creating and leading such a superb, life-changing program. From the start I’ve been beyond impressed with the the quality of the curriculum, the in depth trauma training, the amazing support and expertise of @Marc and ALL our mentors and teachers- @Ryan McEwan @Laurie Anne @Andrea Freemyer @Andy Venneman @Meghan Sandve @Marti. Thank you Thank you Thank you for the high standards you’ve held us to and for the the integrity in which this program has been delivered.
Heidi
I am celebrating SO MUCH!! But ultimately, I’ve really stepped into a new level of leadership and confidence. I feel so connected to myself and deeply know my self worth.
Rachel Nobel
I want to celebrate and offer gratitude for the amazing group of instructors and mentors we have here.I had a practicum client share that her anxiety is so bad that she had a therapist drop her b/c he couldn’t handle her level of anxiety and that breathing deeply made her anxious. Thanks to the Pause team, I had all the tools I needed to make it her first successful deep breaths in years without triggering her NS! I spent a lot of time explaining things upfront, used titration to start her out with breathing for just 1 song, checked in with her, and then she did 7 minutes straight!I’m just so thankful I knew how to support her. Virtual hugs all around!!
Rebe Goebel
Hey Pause family, wanted to celebrate receiving this amazing card and my first tip from a client I have been breathing for over a month. So blessed to do this work, and knowing that I can make money doing this work that I love. Had such a joyful and happy cry. So much love to you all. Were really doing it.
Skyler Kempenaar
Celebrating the power of Breathwork in my life. I got this email from a client and I thought wow— I feel the healing on the inside, but now others are noticing it on the outside?! Amazing!
OMGEEEE!! Listened to your latest podcast!! I think this is the most relaxed I have heard you in a podcast! I can tell you are at peace and embrassing your journey!
Stacy Luckey
Awwww! I am so excited, I just wrapped up a beautiful in-person group session. I did one a few weeks ago, but that was more of a drop in, this was the full meditative with all the things. I am so PROUD of myself. No notes, no script Just leaning in and trusting ME! So grateful for all of you who inspire us newbies and the wonderful instructors and curriculum that help us feel so supported and ready to step into this work! Xoxo
Stacy Luckey
I am forever grateful that Pause is the program that found me. I will never be the same.
STACY LUCKEY
Yesterday’s embodiment call was a win. Designing an experience for my partner with no notice and having such a good outcome for my partner was great. It’s boosted my confidence. I focused on the collaboration element and designed something that related to what she shared and it shifted something for her in 5 minutes.
Stephanie Sahanow
To sum it up really the most grounding yet expansive experiences I have had… and it have lived quite a bit. I am taking my own time for this (some may say behind, but perfectly on time for me right now).
Jessie
I just think the variance of practicum, phase calls (recorded and live), embodiment, dyads, etc. are just so robust and varied. The community is also incredible and everyone is so supportive. There just seems to be NO details left untouched which is extremely supportive knowing I will have all tools heading into practicum and beyond.
Adam Boardman
I love everything about this program and the training. I am so glad there are live calls and there are opportunities to engage in small groups. The replays have been life-savers over the past week and going into next week too. Love all the options, thank you.
Becky Clabaugh
I love the community and the connection. I have learned so much about myself, my body, my capabilities, and healing my wounds and old stories.
Camille Heart
Excellent support from both Pause team and other students. Every single person I have met here has such an open and loving heart…it is truly a gift to be here.
Stacy Goldstein
Throughout this breathwork program, I’ve encountered profound insights and transformative experiences that have deeply enriched both my personal and professional journey. One of my biggest takeaways has been the realization of the immense power and potential that lies within each breath.
Heanney Banks
My biggest takeaway is how powerful a community of oneness and connection is to any human.
Laura Lin
Takeaway form this program is the people. From Sam, to the mentors, to the students, to my breathers in practicum – It allowed me so much connection that I was missing. Showed me how much good there is in the world. How incredible and dynamic people are. How gifted we all are. How much we are connected. That energy knows no bounds and that we are truly energetic beings.
Kirstyn Rawling
My biggest takeaway has been witnessing how something so simple can change a person’s life. The way that a simple technique can allow someone to process something they haven’t been able to access in years!
Ashley Strickland
I finally learned how to regulate my nervous system! I use breathwork alllll the time now, either with the app, or just a few moments in my car, and knowing how to come back to myself has been life changing.
Sally Blaser
I’m celebrating becoming accustomed to being met with grace instead of expecting criticism or correction. I almost didn’t complete the graduation requirements because of this fear, and trauma from previous programs where it went very differently. I’m proud of myself for being brave and for persisting.
Sally Blaser
I’m celebrating recognizing the energetic upgrade I’ve gone through this year. It’s easy to think that not much is changing but when I zoom out and look and who I was this time last year I am so proud of myself. I’m able to notice how much I use the skills learned and practiced from this program in my everyday day. In my relationships, friendships, jobs, and how I connect with and speak to myself.
Taylor Spasiuk
Celebrating feeling the best i’ve felt in almost a month, thanks to today’s embodiment call. We discussed energy and when it came time to embody fire i felt my whole entire system come back onlinei’m mostly fire constitutionally, and since mid-April i’ve been feeling fragile, lost, and disempowered. i knew i needed to work on my manipura to get out of the rut i was stuck in, but the key was group fire–i really needed everyone who was there on the call today, because my pilot light is back on and brighter than ever! my appetite is back, and i’ve been dancing to happy tunes ever sincethanks to everyone who was on today.
Floy Osborne
I really learned what that meant for myself and for others and it has made a HUGE impact on my personal life and I can see the impact on my clients. I now ALLOW things, people to have their ideas, beliefs, I’m not forcing change on myself or others. I have more appreciation for my body, it’s functions, it’s protectors and I work in harmony with that. I learned how to love, accept, & care for myself on another level and how that is the true meaning of loving your neighbor as yourself.
Miranda Boner
This journey has been amazing! I’m telling everyone. Best program ever!
Gail Zuniga
Waited a decade to find a program that I could align my whole heart and soul with. I’m so thankful for PAUSE every day.
YASMINE GILBERT
I truly feel like a different person. I have learnt so much about the power of the breath and through all the practicum hours have seen how powerful it can be (and I can be facilitating it) in the transformation of others.
Julie Davies
This work is healing my marriage and connection with my son.
Kathy Eisnaugle
Celebrating moving into Phase 4 of the program and a partnership with Release Foundation which supports people getting support for addiction and mental health. I will be apart of their Monday programming bi-weekly for a group at a half way house in NYC!
Adam Boardman
I am not the same person that I was in January- which is really difficult to explain. I have learned so much about embodiment. I am not even sure I knew what that was when I started, I heard about it and knew a little but, now I fully understand embodiment, letting go of what no longer serves us AND embodying/visualizing what we want more of.
Robyn Gutierrez
I have EXPANDED so much throughout the course of this program and learned so much about myself and my ability to stay with myself through uncomfortable emotions.
Avery Smith
I absolutely honored my whole being by learning this method of healing. It has positive ripple effects far into my past and future and affects everyone and everything around me.
Nikki Paschar
Oh my gosh, I am blown away with the quality and depth of the program. I loved learning about the nervous system and how to be trauma informed as a breathwork facilitator. I have witnessed great transformation within myself and my clients. I can’t wait to bring breathwork to as many people I can.
Natalie Medina
Celebrating how much Pausing in my life with this program has helped me and supported me. I am emotional and have come far in 6 months from where I was.
Jen Oliver
This program changed my entire life. To show up, to embody, to feel and to love… It not only about breathing. About how to breathe our life.
Kazue Wells-Falon
Also I created Japanese breathwork community and now I have over 60 ppl and they totally didnt know about breathwork. I am so grateful that I can hold their space….
Kazue Wells-Falon
That I have the ability to heal myself and help others heal themselves and I feel confident in my next steps wherever they lead
Shaila Wylie
I feel like I grew into myself and my feminine energy in such a bigger and deeper way. It helped my expand my own personal vision and also how I want to show up and support my clients.
Renae Fieck
Grateful for the Pause program! One of the best things I’ve ever done for myself and those around me!
Kathy Eisnaugle
Had a triggering weekend and was able to work through it with all the skills I have learned through this program
Kathy Eisnaugle
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for continually creating a community space where we can be seen and appreciated, learn and grow. I have learned so much more than just the curriculum.
Debra Cober
My nervous system is not used to feeling so calm, so I often mistake it as being tired but I think it’s just actually new found peace since I have started this course. Not always running on adrenalin now
Shelby Lozier
Throughout this program, I have been able to find myself and understand myself and understand my emotions and how to work through them and to love myself.
Amanda Master
