BreathFinder Editorial Guidelines
How we create, review, and present breathwork and wellness content
- Last reviewed: May 2026
Introduction:
At BreathFinder, our goal is to create educational, thoughtful, and transparent content that supports exploration within the wider landscape of breathwork, breathing practices, somatic approaches, and related wellbeing topics.
We recognise that breathwork is a broad and evolving field that includes many different perspectives, traditions, methodologies, and professional approaches. Our editorial process is designed to support clarity, transparency, and responsible publishing while respecting this diversity of viewpoints.
At BreathFinder.io we are committed to publishing breathwork and wellness content that is accurate, responsible, and genuinely useful — particularly given the sensitive nature of the topics we cover.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Breathwork touches on deeply personal areas of human experience — including mental health, trauma, grief, physical wellbeing, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience. We take that responsibility seriously.
Every article published on BreathFinder.io is written, reviewed, and verified with the aim of creating content readers can trust — content designed to support rather than harm, inform rather than mislead, and empower rather than overwhelm.
We believe that transparent, well-researched, and responsibly presented content is not only good publishing practice, but part of our wider duty of care to the BreathFinder community.
BreathFinder content may combine practitioner expertise, lived experience, educational research, and evidence-informed perspectives where appropriate.

Our Fact Checked Badge
Articles displaying the BreathFinder Fact Checked badge have undergone additional editorial review for factual consistency, terminology, source alignment, clarity, and responsible presentation at the time of publication.
This review process may include:
- Reviewing factual statements and terminology
- Cross-checking references and supporting materials
- Reviewing claims for clarity and responsible presentation
- Confirming contributor credentials where appropriate
- Verifying external sources and referenced materials
Fact checking does not guarantee scientific consensus, clinical effectiveness, or universal agreement within the breathwork field, particularly in areas where perspectives, methodologies, and therapeutic approaches may differ.
Our Editorial Approach
BreathFinder publishes a mixture of:
- Educational articles
- Breathwork modality overviews
- Contributor perspectives
- Practitioner insights
- Interviews and community content
- Evidence-informed wellness content
Some articles are written directly by the BreathFinder Editorial Team, while others are reviewed, co-authored, or contributed by practitioners, educators, or subject specialists.
Where appropriate, we clearly identify the role contributors have played in the creation, review, or development of an article.
Who Writes Our Content
BreathFinder.io content is written and curated by our founder — a qualified breathwork coach with direct professional experience in breathwork practice, community building, and the wellness industry.
Articles draw on practitioner experience, ongoing research, lived experience, educational resources, and engagement with the global breathwork community that BreathFinder serves.
We are transparent about our editorial process. For breathwork methods and therapeutic areas outside our direct certification or professional scope — such as trauma-informed clinical approaches, specialised somatic modalities, or medical considerations — we conduct additional research using credible academic, clinical, and practitioner sources, and seek review from appropriately qualified professionals where relevant.
AI writing tools may be used as part of the research, drafting, and editorial workflow. All content is reviewed, edited, fact checked, and approved by a qualified human before publication.

Our Fact Checking Process
Every article on BreathFinder.io that carries our Fact Checked badge has gone through the following process:
Research & Source Verification: Claims are researched and verified against trusted academic, clinical, and industry sources. We prioritise peer-reviewed research, published books by recognised authorities, and credible institutions over secondary or aggregated sources.
Independent Fact Verification: Factual statements are independently verified against trusted online sources to confirm accuracy before publication. Any claim that cannot be verified is removed or clearly framed as opinion or anecdote.
External Source Credibility Check: All external references and sources are reviewed for credibility, relevance, transparency, and authority. Wherever possible, BreathFinder links directly to original sources, published authors, academic institutions, recognised practitioners, and primary materials rather than secondary aggregators.
Practitioner Review: Articles are reviewed by a qualified breathwork practitioner or wellness professional with relevant expertise in the specific topic covered. Where a named reviewer has approved the article, their name and credentials are credited directly on the article page.
Safety & Disclaimer Review: All health and wellness related content is reviewed to ensure appropriate safety caveats and disclaimers are included. BreathFinder content is never intended to replace medical advice or professional treatment, and this is clearly communicated on every relevant article.
Periodic Review & Updates: Published articles are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect new research, community feedback, and developments in the breathwork field. Update dates are displayed on articles where content has been meaningfully revised.
Our Expert Reviewers
BreathFinder.io works with certified breathwork practitioners, somatic therapists, educators, and wellness professionals to review content relevant to their areas of expertise.
This is not a symbolic process. Reviewers are encouraged to assess, question, clarify, and where necessary challenge content before publication.
Where a practitioner has reviewed and approved an article, their name, credentials, and relevant profile or website may be credited directly on the article.
We believe transparency around who has reviewed content is an important part of building trust with readers.
Real Voices, Real Stories
Where community stories, testimonials, or practitioner experiences are featured on BreathFinder.io, they are presented with transparency and consent.
We do not fabricate testimonials, invent experiences, or present fictionalised community narratives as real accounts. Where appropriate, contributors and practitioners are linked directly to their BreathFinder profiles, websites, or professional pages.
Types of Article Attribution
To help readers understand how content has been created or reviewed, BreathFinder may use the following editorial classifications.
BreathFinder Editorial Team: Articles written and edited primarily by the BreathFinder team. These articles are generally educational, informational, and designed to present balanced overviews of breathwork approaches, modalities, and related topics.
Reviewed By: Some articles are reviewed by qualified practitioners, teachers, or subject specialists for clarity, accuracy, and alignment with their area of expertise. A reviewer may provide professional review and input, without endorsing every statement or interpretation in the article.
Co-Authored By: Articles that have been collaboratively developed between BreathFinder and a practitioner, educator, or specialist contributor. This designation indicates meaningful contribution to the article’s ideas, structure, or written content.
Contributor Perspective: Some articles reflect the professional perspective, methodology, or interpretation of an individual practitioner or contributor. These articles may present a specific framework, philosophy, or approach within the wider field of breathwork or somatic practice. Where contributor perspectives are published, BreathFinder may include an Editorial Note to provide additional context and transparency.
Editorial Note: Editorial Notes may appear on certain articles to help contextualise contributor content, explain editorial framing, or clarify how a piece fits within the wider landscape of approaches presented on BreathFinder.
