What Should Your Firewalk Instructor Training Be Like?
There comes a moment on every firewalk journey when something inside you whispers:
“I was born for this.”
Maybe you’ve walked the fire yourself. Maybe you’ve watched others shift before your eyes … that moment when someone breaks through fear and meets their truth on the other side of the coals.
And now… you’re wondering if you’re ready to lead that kind of magic.
Here’s what I want you to know.
When you find your teacher you just know.
You’re not signing up for a course. You’re answering a calling.
And this is more than learning the mechanics of A, B, and C.
This is the beginning of your own transformation.
Because when you transform, you create a space where others can do the same.
The ripple is real.
Your breakthrough becomes the space your clients break through in.
My intention for this article is simple.
It’s for you to find your sacred teacher.
That may be me and it may not.
We all have a teacher who holds us…
The one we are open to and trust when we’re ready to unlock the treasure chest of our own transformation.
Your true teacher will not flinch or take your glory when you land in your light, they will simply say “welcome … you were here all along”.
My hope is that, no matter who you choose, you know this:
This decision matters.
This training should be considered sacred.
You deserve to learn from someone whose course is “A Once in a Lifetime Experience” and leaves you feeling unstoppable to train and transform your own groups.
Your Firewalk Instructor Training should feel like you belong.
It should feel like someone sees you … really sees you …holds you in your power and says,
“Yes. You’re ready. Let’s walk together.”
This isn’t about bravado. It’s not about ego or hype.
It’s about learning to hold people in their greatness with grace … not by pushing, fixing, or forcing, but by standing so firmly in your own light that it reminds them of theirs.
And the person training you?
Your trainer should be holding the fire in their soul…
With inspiration sparkling in their eyes.
A deep love and respect for the fire and for every empowerment exercise should be unmistakable.
Because the purpose behind this work, the healing it brings, the medicine it offers…
Can never be compromised.
This isn’t a job.
It’s a calling.
And you deserve to be trained by someone who treats it as sacred.
It should come from the heart.
Every breakthrough.
Every empowerment exercise.
Every decision to walk or not walk … the fire.
It should all come from a place of presence and permission, not pressure.
You’re not here to control people. You’re here to hold them.
To honour their timing.
To trust their process.
To witness them rise in their own way, in their own time and to believe in them even when they can’t.
Because real transformation doesn’t happen on demand.
It happens when we are given space.
It should teach more than techniques.
You deserve to learn more than how to light a fire or break a board. These practical teachings about the HOW to DELIVER the exercises are the basics compared to the depth of psychology you need to learn.
You deserve to understand the sacred why behind every tool you’ll use.
Why we walk.
Why we break arrows.
Why glasswalking, rebar, and board breaks shift people into alignment.
And what really happens when someone meets their edge and chooses to move through it not because they’re told to, but because something inside them awakens.
It should honour ancient wisdom and modern safety.
This path isn’t new.
It’s ancient, sacred, rooted in tribal wisdom, ritual, and respect.
When you step into this work, you’re stepping into lineage.
I trained (for 6 years I am mentored to this day) with Peggy Dylan, the founder of SUNDOOR and the mother of the modern firewalking movement. Her wisdom and the wisdom of those who came before her runs through every flame I build.
But safety must walk hand in hand with spirit.
You should be trained in fire science, group energy, emergency procedures, fire tending, and holding safe psychological space.
Because when someone stands in front of the fire, they are trusting you with their fear. And that is sacred ground.
It should be a journey of your own transformation.
My Firewalk Instructor Training is six days long.
And those six days will change your life.
They’re not just a training. They’re a journey into your story, your strength, your voice, your courage.
You’ll walk the fire, tend the embers, lead ceremonies, speak from the soul, and stand for others as they meet their truth.
And in doing so, you’ll meet your own.
Because when you experience that level of transformation,
you walk out ready to lead real transformation in others.
Not from theory.
Not from script.
From embodiment.
You’ll leave trained in such a thorough, loving, and empowered way that by the time you leave, you’ll feel raring to go ready to make the impact you know you’re here for.
You deserve a training that meets your soul.
So ask yourself…
✨ Do you want to lead events that leave people forever changed?
✨ Do you want to create safe, sacred space for people to reclaim their courage and their true self?
✨ Do you want to be part of a legacy that honours the heart, not rarara?
Then don’t settle for anything less than a training that brings you back to life…
So you can bring others back to theirs.
