 34 years and 10,000+ Breathwork Sessions & 27 years Breathwork Trainings


Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in our Professional Core Clearing Breathwork Coach Training.

We teach a Heart Centred Breathwork style, which is based on gently connecting, trusting and surrendering to the unfolding that happens in the moment.  The process is gentle yet powerful, a relaxed yet rapid empowerment process to help clients heal emotional trauma, open their heart and regain the clarity, confidence and enthusiasm to move forward and live life fully.

Core Clearing Breathwork Coaches help clients quickly and gently identify and clear the subconscious emotional blocks that cause stress, anxiety, frustration and suffering and connect to the inner guidance for motivation and direction in life.

With our Core Clearing Breathwork Training, you can start a new career as a Breathwork facilitator or offer Breathwork to your existing clients to work more holistically and deeply, helping clients identify and release the blockages that are holding them back in their lives.

You can facilitate Core Clearing Breathwork in person or in groups, on the phone or over the internet with people around the world. The training comes complete with a 10-session Well-Being Program prebuilt for you to start guiding clients through immediately, including the Sales and Marketing components - done for you!

* Be careful who you choose to train with.
There are people offering training who have little experience and lack the understanding of what is required to deliver a professional training that ensures that clients feel supported and integrated at the end of their sessions. We are registered trainers with the Australian Breathwork Association, and our Online Breathwork Training is a professional, Internationally Recognised (IICT) Certificate Course. As soon as you start our training, you can join the IICT as a student and access professional indemnity insurance.

We have been Breathwork Practitioners since 1992. We have been conducting year-long Breathwork Practitioner Trainings since 1999. We have a wonderful heart centred Breathwork community that spans around the world. We've built a fulfilling life through Breathwork, and we are here to support you in creating a rich, meaningful life in service to others with Breathwork. 

Breathwork has supported our family of 4 to live an amazing life on our 7 Acre Retreat Centre in the Dandenong Ranges Rainforest on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia.

The World Is Your Oyster!

One of the great things about Core Clearing Breathwork is it works just as well over the phone, Skype or Zoom, so you can do sessions from your home to people around the world.

Here is a real life case study – before a session:

“Hi Nicholas, we’re 12 years into our business, and we seem to be stuck with making our business create real freedom for us – we seem a little stuck, like a broken record. For me real freedom means working less, be able to pursue other ideas, etc. I have a hesitancy of doing it all again to come back to the same point. I want to break free and let go of that cycle/thinking.”

1 week on from our session:

“Since last weekend, the jobs are literally flying in the door – the bigger jobs as quotes at this stage, which about 80% will turn into actual jobs. One quote in particular is close to $6,000 worth (profit). We’ve jumped onto the roller coaster, climbing and climbing, and as of the 1st of March we are catapulted into the hands of gravity with regards to our new ventures. It’s all systems go, and we’re not waiting for anyone. What an exciting time!”

What our Breathwork Graduates say...

As a Beauty Therapist for many years, I experienced having clients mainly looking to come for a relaxing time. Most of these clients I found were suffering some form of stress, anxiety or even depression. I began to think that I needed to have a further service to help my clientele with their well being. I’ve always been interested in healing & therefore looked into breathwork. I thank the universe for sending me to Nicholas & Susan de Castella. Being introduced & signing up to do the Core Clearing breath work course was the best decision I made for myself personally & for my clientele. I can’t wait to implement my learning on my clients and look forward to where this will take me in my business.

Louise Holthouse of Australian Breathwork College

The Core Clearing Breathwork Certificate Training was so thorough for me. I easily understood all the material as Nicholas presents it so logically and seamlessly. The course was done over ZOOM. I had my reservations that it would translate as effective as it does in person, but Nicholas and all the participants were integral to the process and created a beautifully connected group which deepened the understanding. I feel supremely confident going forward and offering this opportunity for my clients to experience their own emotional breakthroughs. Thank you Nicholas….

About The Founder and Presenter: Nicholas De Castella

Nicholas de Castella is a Breathwork Master Coach. He is the Director of the Institute of Heart Intelligence and head of the Australian Breathwork College. 

He is best known for connecting, inspiring and empowering people to find their passion and live an extra-ordinary life.

Over the last 31 years Nicholas has conducted more than 10,000 sessions, 200 x 3 ½ day Passionately Alive workshops and 21-year long Breathwork Practitioner Trainings. 

35 years ago, on the outside Nicholas looked like a success. He was representing Australia in World Championships, on scholarship at the Australian Institute of Sport, working as an Architect, married with a house, dog and a cat.

But on the inside, he felt empty and anxious. A tragic head on car accident led to chronic fatigue.

After the crash he hit rock bottom and DECIDED something had to change.

He attended his first personal growth workshop where he realized that success is an inside-out game: He was the one that had been making his own life hard. Even better he learnt how to achieve success with ease, heal his body, run faster on less training and create a life he loves. 

He was so inspired by what he discovered that he switched from working as an Architect to Breakthrough Coach.

15 years ago, Nicholas moved to heaven. Nicholas now lives on his retreat center on 7 acres of Rainforest. He has a 25-year passionate, loving relationship with his lovely wife Susan and 2 amazing teenage boys. He loves to run and hike through the fern covered mountains where he lives. Nicholas spends his time doing work that he loves. He has built a wonderful heart centered community across Australia.
