One Integrated System for Safe, Embodied Work
Our six-element method combines breath, movement, sound, touch, emotional expression, and meditation in a precise sequence that supports the nervous system’s natural capacity to regulate and heal. Each facilitator learns through embodiment first — applying the method to their own process before guiding others — creating practitioners who are grounded, ethical, and emotionally attuned.
Breath — entry to awareness & regulation

Movement — frees held tension
Sound — supports expression & discharge
Touch — grounds and contains
Emotion — integrates feeling with body
Meditation — presence & integration

Each facilitator learns through embodiment first — applying the method to their own process before guiding others — creating practitioners who are grounded, ethical, and emotionally attuned.
It’s not about pushing for big releases or altered states. BBTRS® takes a gentler path — we stay within the body’s window of tolerance, working slowly and with consent, so the nervous system can truly integrate change rather than be overwhelmed.

I was feeling lost despite achieving material success. My journey with BBTRS® began in Costa Rica, where a breathwork session awakened something deep within me. This training helped me reconnect with myself and discover my true purpose beyond external expectations.
I realized my passion for supporting others through the knowledge I gained. This experience has transformed my perspective on healing—it’s about personal growth and building a supportive community.

Studying BBTRS® online allowed me to learn from the comfort of my home, making it accessible no matter where I was in the world. The flexibility of online training meant I could participate without needing to commit to a full two-week program.
Being part of weekly sessions helped me regulate my emotions and stay present in my daily life. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to access this training online—it made a significant difference in my journey.

My journey through BBTRS has been truly transformative. Discovering Gitton’s work opened my eyes to a softer, more profound healing practice. The recent training in Bali deepened my understanding and connection, empowering me to support others on their healing journeys. I highly recommend these trainings for anyone seeking personal growth or aspiring to be a practitioner!
