“My stay with Alan at the Breathguru retreat was a truly transformative experience… his wisdom and guidance have helped unlock inner worlds of the mind and body.”
Dustin O’Halloran, Emmy award-winning musician & composer
“What I love about working with Alan is how safe I feel in his presence. He is very powerful in the gentlest of ways. He supports me to work through very deep and old information while remaining calm and peaceful the whole time. He makes it feel so easy. During the session I felt such a heavy burden lift off my shoulders, it was as if the weight-of-the-world I’d been carrying since birth and from my ancestors was suddenly released. Wow! And the best thing is the breath work is all so simple, that’s the beauty of it. It’s amazing to know you can simply return to the breath, and process so much by doing so.”
Jody Shield, Healer | Author | Speaker
“I have exercise induced asthma and now understand how a regular practise of conscious breathing can improve my respiratory condition. Learning how to improve my breathing with Alan has been incredible. His expertise and experience has helped me to improve my breathing pattern and has taught me how paramount a full breath is for recovery and reaching your full potential”
Paul Sampson, Former England International Rugby Player
“I feel during our time together at your retreat a little magic happened… my life since has been filled with an abundance of joy and happiness. I feel as if finally I’m who I am meant to be and where I should be. I’m so grateful for all you have done. It really is such a huge gift. Sending you love and a big hug”
Lisa Butcher, presenter of ‘What Not To Wear’
“The perfect place to let go of old issues and find the clarity to go forward. I felt far more positive as a result. A very safe space where you can feel vulnerable and held at the same time. I feel more grounded than ever before”
Serena Gordon (co-founder Hoffman UK)
“The art of breathing is intrinsic to my own work – it helps me immeasurably; and Alan is a master practitioner of breath therapy”
Stephen Russell (The Barefoot Doctor)
“The Breathguru Online Training has surpassed my expectations. The sessions have been super informative, useful, and powerful. I always have felt very supported. I notice how well Natalia prepares us for the online work environment and how well everything is explained in detail (both video and documents)”
Jairo Jorge, Breathguru Graduate
“Breathguru Online Training with Natalia is a game-changer. The comprehensive programme covers everything from mastering Zoom to facilitating online sessions, using precise language, and providing essential safety documents. This training has not only expanded my client base but also transformed my confidence in delivering breath work and other services I had never dreamed of online. Highly recommended!”
Evangeline di Michele, Breathguru Graduate
“The biggest takeaway from my experience on the training programme was having a greater understanding of myself and my shadow side, understanding how our breathing underpins so much of how we function, and how to hold space for people. Working with and alongside Alan continues to amaze me. The way he is SO patient. The way he ALWAYS has time for my stream of questions. His WISDOM. His INTEGRITY. And his HUMILITY as a non-guru who guides rather than dictates.”
Justine Clement, Breathguru Graduate
“There was some heaviness in me I was not quite aware of, and after breathing, I feel that it has gone. I feel lighter, and I move effortlessly.”
Carmen Busuioc (Breathguru Summer Camp 2023)
“When I applied for training with Alan I had only got in touch with breathwork a few times and found it interesting and appealing. Little did I know what this journey ahead was all about and maybe that was good at that point. Diving deep into one’s own shadow and traumas is a big part of the Breathguru training and in retrospect I think it really is the only way to become a good facilitator.
Alan is a fantastic mentor and definitely has become an important companion in this part of
my life.
I think the training is for everybody who is willing to dive deep and be vulnerable about their own journey as much as learning about the breath technique itself. I think the combination of embodying the breath as a tool of healing yourself and learning how to share this with others carries the most potential of becoming an authentic breathworker.
I am more than grateful for those past months which made me grow so much and took me further towards living my full potential. It’s a new piece of the puzzle of understanding what I came to this planet for.”

“I did a lot of research when deciding who to do my Breathwork training with. I found Alan through several recommendations & decided to go with him / Breathguru. I couldn’t have made a better choice. Alan himself is so knowledgable & yet so grounded. He is there for you every step of the way, to answer questions, share wisdom & hold space.
What I love most about the program is that you’re guided on your own healing journey, this deep inner work has definitely made me a better Breathwork Facilitator. Venturing off to Lanzarote for the in-person modules is definitely a highlight too, those modules were life changing experiences that I’ll forever be grateful for.
I started the program feeling nervous & doubtful about my abilities, but it was an exciting, rewarding, eye opening experience & I graduated feeling so confident!
I have hosted 4 breathwork workshops in the short time since graduating, all of which sold out within days & I just can’t thank Alan enough for his mentorship & teaching.
If you want to be trained by the best then invest & go with Alan / Breathguru.”

“Empowered, inspired, revived! Just finished a week in Lanzarote with Alan Dolan, finding my inner Breathguru☆. In 30 years working in the world of wellness I have rarely experienced the depth of personal growth and insight that I found during this time. Plant medicine comes close, but the lucidity, open learning, deep focus, and capacity to take this method anywhere has been a life-changing experience. Thank you Alan!”

“I can’t say how much I appreciated this summer camp and how much I needed it! The reassurance of the breath and complete permission to feel were helpful for me. I always hold myself so rigidly due to my cardiac health condition. Thank you so much for the three-day journey.”
Eva (Breathguru Summer Camp 2022)
“I haven’t felt this beautiful, in…I don’t think, ever. I had no idea what to expect this trip but I have to say, I certainly couldn’t even begin to imagine that it would be on the scale that it has been. It feels that something quite significant occurred during my time with you and Matthieu. I have also noticed that I am actively becoming more conscious of the softness that I provide for my thoughts. Allowing them to gently float by, allowing me to strengthen my observatory skills and quelling the harsh critique. Just being present with each moment as they come. I’m so grateful for you Alan…thank you for being on this planet, for all your work, care and your commitment…true love”
Michael John Harper
“I’ve just returned from the most rejuvenating, relaxing and peaceful week of my life at the fabulous Breathguru Retreat in Lanzarote. There were about 20 people on the beach and it was August! The weather was glorious with a delightful breeze which tempered the heat. Breathwork is one of the most powerful practices I know of for resetting the nervous system back in to rest and digest as well as clearing trauma that is suppressed and repressed and Alan is a master teacher and healer. If you’re after a detox and reset I highly recommend! “
Naomi Cambridge
“Alan, the work you do is amazing: thank you for showing me the way back home………..If you’re going through something tough, my advice to you: throw your phone in the sea and then go see Alan in Lanzarote. He will bring you home, where all the answers lie”
Leah Taj Joseph
“My experience at the retreat with Alan was one of a lifetime. It brought me back to feeling like myself… it’s one of those things that are difficult to explain and I’m sure more difficult to believe unless you go through this incredible journey yourself. It was quietly easily the best gift I ever gave myself- and more importantly to my children”
