- Influence of breathing on the brain
- Mouth-breathing vs nose-breathing
- Breathing patterns
- Breathing types
- Association of breathing with various neurological disorders, including; ADHD, anxiety, autism, CP, epilepsy, FND, MS, neuropathy, psychosis, sleep disorders, Alzheimer's Disease, and more.
- Exchange Breathing Method

- In-class practical sessions
Why should I attend?
From our first breath to our last, breathing is fundamental to life. Understanding the brain-breath-behaviour relationship: what to observe and how to influence it can create some great gains for yourself and those you work with. Breathing is not only crucial for brain health, but it also influences the functioning of the brain and our behaviour.
If you are looking to understand how breathing anatomy and physiology, brain health and function, and behaviours and symptoms are all inter-related, then the Brain Breath Behaviour course is for you!
You will learn about useful evaluations and therapeutic interventions, and the various neurological conditions which can benefit from these. Throughout the course you will have access to various resources; and each session will involve some practical elements and opportunities for Q&As. On completion, we will proudly send you a certificate of attendance.
Additionally, whenever possible, we offer discounts with our relevant partners for their products and services.
Who is it for?
- This course is designed for people who have a reasonable understanding of at least the basics of neuroplasticity therapies and/or neurology. List item two
- Individuals who have taken relevant foundational Neuro Frontiers modules looking to expand their knowledge.
- So you could be: Practitioners working with neuroplasticity therapies, neuro-rehabilitation, neurodevelopmental therapies, etc.
- Respiration/Ventilation/Breathwork healthcare practitioners interested in the neurological implications of breathing
Course Dates and Format
Start date:
Wednesday 08 October 2025 13:00-14:30
Subsequent dates:
Wednesday 15 October 2025 13:00-14:30

Wednesday 29 October 2025 13:00-14:30
Wednesday 05 November 2025 13:00-14:30
5 sessions of 1 to1.5 hours over 5 weeks.
Some lessons are slightly longer, and though most are close to an hour, the extra time allows for questions.
Last half hour at each session will be a chance for Q&As
Live – join your fellow classmates to watch live
Recordings – catch up any time during the course via access to recordings of each session
We recognise that life can get in the way sometimes, so you have 10 weeks to complete the course, after which time your access will end.
Alternatively, with Neuro Frontiers membership you can continue to have open access to this course and any others you enrol on.
Further studies:
The BBB course is also a great springboard to several other courses from our partners, and, of course, other Neuro Frontiers courses.
Additionally, although it can be taken as a standalone course, the Brain Breath Behaviour course also forms part 1 of Neuro-Nasology, which umbrella’s all things nervous system and nose related.
The second half of Neuro-Nasology is the Neuro-Aroma Therapy course, which covers the olfactory sense and system, and the therapeutic use of scent for various neurological conditions and general state of mind, mood, etc.

Resources
After you sign up for the course you will gain access to any free resources and discounts (when the course launches).
If any equipment is needed or if there are any special instructions, you will be informed of this prior to course starting.
You will be able to complete this course without any additional equipment.
Some of the exercises may require you to wear loose, comfortable clothing.
FAQs
Hopefully, you will have found all the information you needed here, however we also have a general FAQs page you can access for other questions, including technical assistance.

Where does the course take place?
How is it delivered?
There are four elements to the course:
- Flipped classroom – pre-learning resources to read/watch/do prior to the sessions. These are great for priming your brain with what’s to come: a sort of scaffolding on which you can build the rest of your learning. They give greater confidence and understanding when you attend each session.
- Q&As – bring any questions to each session
- Put into practice what you have learned – for example, you may be asked to start making observations in your own breathing or in those you work with.
- Attend the weekly sessions
Throughout the course, we use brain-based learning techniques (you can learn more about these in our Brain Based Learning Course).
Who is delivering the course?
The course is delivered by Gemma Herbertson. Gemma has over twelve years of working with neuroplasticity therapies, and she is the inventor of the Exchange Breathing Method. She has various qualifications and training including from the Institute of Neuro Physiological Psychology, the Carrick Institute (for functional neurology); plus she has studied Biomedicine with CNM, and Functional Neuro-Anatomy with Cambridge University.
