Train more than

Your breath is already with you. Our work is about learning to notice it, work with it, and bring that awareness into the demands of your sport or your day.
Composure
Explore a more deliberate response when pressure shows up.
Recovery & readiness
Make room for a pause between effort and your next demand.
Team connection
Build shared cues, clearer communication, and meaningful reflection.
Training themes, not promised results. Practical education—not medical treatment.

05 / MEET CERTIFIED BREATHERSPractical work.
Practical work.
A human approach.
Certified Breathers is led by Brandon Shackleton, a breathwork and guided meditation facilitator based in Durham Region, Ontario.
The focus is straightforward: bring breath awareness into athletic and professional environments. Work with the people in the room, respect their context, and keep the training clear, useful, and grounded.

GROUNDED. RESPONSIBLE. HUMAN.
A practice, not a promise.
Breathwork isn’t a shortcut or a guarantee. We frame composure, focus, recovery, and connection as areas to explore—not clinical claims or universal performance gains. Participant suitability, comfortable practice, and permission to stop matter.
Facilitator certification is a future planning concept, not a launched qualification available on this website.
06 / GOOD QUESTIONSA little clarity
A little clarity
before we talk.
Still wondering about your group?
A facilitated session can combine breath awareness, guided meditation, and reflection on your group’s goals. The precise format, duration, and suitability are discussed before booking. A one-hour format has been used for team sessions; other formats are arranged based on the engagement.
No. Youth hockey is an established part of Certified Breathers’ work, but the broader focus includes athletes across sports, coaches, sports organizations, and professional groups.
Youth hockey teams, including U15 and U16 groups, are part of the supplied business context. Age, supervision, participant suitability, and session boundaries need to be discussed before an engagement. Participants should never be pressured to continue through symptoms or compete in breath holds.
Each engagement is scoped around your group, session format, and frequency. Request a discovery conversation to discuss your needs and receive a relevant quote. Client-specific prices and unconfirmed historical rates are not presented as a general rate card.
Focus, composure, recovery, and communication are training themes—not guaranteed outcomes. We don’t promise a universal performance improvement or present breathwork as medical treatment. The free resource uses a subjective reflection, not a validated performance test.
A facilitator certification program is part of future business planning, not a launched qualification confirmed by the supplied brief. There is no certification enrollment or assessment offered on this website. You can contact Brandon to ask about future plans.
