In this episode of The Dark Side with Verity, host Verity Jo Coonan shares why Breathwork, though powerful, is only the beginning of a layered healing journey. She explores the importance of safety in the body, the role of tools like journaling, tapping, toning, and community, and why integrating multiple practices creates lasting transformation. Through personal stories and real client experiences, Verity reveals how healing becomes deeper, more authentic, and more sustainable when we combine breath with somatic practices, communication, and self-expression.

This conversation is an invitation to go beyond “just breathing” and discover how to weave safety, community, and creativity into your healing so you can fully show up as your authentic self.

In this heartfelt episode, Verity reflects on the 13-year journey since the passing of her partner and the evolution of how she chooses to honour that day.

This is a story of consistency, transformation, and reclaiming freedom. Verity speaks about learning to trust herself, stepping into flow, being supported by community, and the importance of choosing quality people and aligned energy in life.

Join her in exploring what it really means to honour your past, embrace your present, and continue building a future from a place of self-love, intuition, and deep alignment.

In this episode, Verity opens up about the heart of her mission with VIDYA, making Breathwork accessible, shareable, and sustainable for everyone. She dives into the magic of sharing: why our first instinct after a transformative breath session is to tell others, and how that ripple effect can truly shift the world.

From her own stories of discovering Breathwork, to building The VIDYA Wellness Club app and a Facilitator Training that now includes business tools, this conversation explores the deeper truth: health and wealth are inseparable when we live in alignment.

In this episode of The Dark Side with Verity, we explore two worlds that are more connected than you think: the backend systems that keep your business alive, and the body’s signals that reveal the truth you’ve been avoiding.

I share why I built the Business Builders™ system into VIDYA Facilitator Training, so you’re not left scrambling with funnels, CRMs, and marketing gaps that stall your growth. Then we move deeper, into the body that always keeps the score. From shoulder pain to gut health, parasites to sore throats, I unpack how symptoms are not problems to fix, but messages to interpret.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, in your business or in your body, this episode will remind you that both need clarity, structure, and space to release.

Tune in, breathe with me, and discover how the way you run your business and the way you care for your body are mirrors for each other.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a real moment inside the work.

In this episode, Verity Jo Coonan shares the messy middle of an emotional rollercoaster, where old wounds rise, boundaries are tested, and the universe asks: are you truly open to receive?

For someone who has built her life around holding space for others, this season revealed the blind spot: giving came easy, but receiving love without earning it was the deeper edge.

Inside, you’ll hear:

• The lessons eclipse energy pulled to the surface

• Why healing asks us to pause mid-ride instead of waiting for the end

• How true boundaries protect love, not block it

• What shifts when you finally let yourself be supported

This is breath, healing, and life remastered. An invitation to slow down, open wider, and receive what you’ve been asking for.

What happens if a client cries, panics, or shuts down during Breathwork? Do you know what to do?

In this episode, Verity breaks down why trauma-informed facilitation is no longer optional in today’s Breathwork world. Using real stories and simple nervous system science, she explains how the body’s neuroception (its built-in radar for safety) decides whether healing can happen or whether a client spirals deeper into overwhelm.

You’ll learn:

• The hidden risks of guiding sessions without trauma awareness.

• How to recognise when a client’s nervous system is in fight, flight, or freeze.

• The difference between a “session guide” and a true facilitator who leads with safety, atunement, and embodied presence.

If you’re serious about creating spaces where transformation lasts, this episode will show you why leadership in Breathwork starts with safety.

At VIDYA, this is exactly what we train facilitators who can hold the deepest spaces with skill, integrity, and confidence.
