If you’re thinking of training as a Firewalk Instructor then one thing you may have been wondering about is insurance.

Is Firewalk insurance expensive and easy to get?

There are a few different factors that will impact on the price of your insurance to cover you and your helpers for when you’re holding Firewalks BUT it is pretty easy to get insurance that we share at our trainings.

Here’s a few things you’ll need to think about…

• Training with an accredited training provider

Our Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Certification programs are accredited by the IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine) which means we are able to recommend Insurance companies where this accreditation is recognised and enable you to obtain preferential rates – always consider training with an organisation that is accredited as evidence of their high standards and legal understanding when it comes to things like insurance.

• Where in the World you’re based

Insurance for Firewalk Instructors based in Europe works out a lot cheaper than for those based in the US and Canada (sorry american friends!) but there are other things to take into consideration with this too.

• How many firewalking events you’ll be holding a year

The insurance broker we recommend for our US students offers insurance for up to three events at a time, whereas the European company we recommend will cover you for as many events as you like through the year.

• Other options

Many of our qualified Firewalk Instructors in the US and Canada decide to work under the cover of waivers and risk assessments – to make this as easy a choice as possible for you we include templates for all these documents within the online component of our trainings.  

So, how much is Firewalk Insurance?

Well, everyone’s quote will be different depending on many different factors such as what else they want covered, what value they want the cover to etc BUT to give you an idea, our students in Ireland and the UK often get quotes for under £300/year – this covers them for as many firewalks as they want, two helpers, AND other modalities such as shamanism or reiki included too.

If this has reassured you around your options for insurance if you want to go on and hold firewalks why not check out some information about our trainings here

Firewalk Instructor Training – How To Get Qualified

Do you dream of leading your own Firewalks?

• It might be that you’ve taken part in a Firewalk yourself and been bowled-over by the bliss filled experience of personal strength and freedom it brought
• Maybe you’ve seen pictures and videos on social media and thought how wonderful they looked
• You could have heard others talking about their experiences and been inexplicably drawn to the idea
• Or you might literally have had dreams about walking fire – bringing forward ideas from your deep memory or subconscious

Any which way, if becoming a firewalk instructor is something you’ve wondered about, I’m glad you found us!

How To Get Qualified As A Firewalk Instructor

Firewalk Instructor Training cannot be delivered online – it’s REALLY important to get lots of practice at all aspects of working with the fire while your teacher is there with you to guide and support you.

There’s lots of Firewalk specific ways of working with the fire you need to learn, including building, lighting, and tenderly tending the fire, before you move onto preparing the coals for your walkers, as well as preparing the firewalkers themselves.  It takes guidance and practice to learn and build confidence within these skillsets, that’s why Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training is 5 nights long and we firewalk every day at training.

You don’t need to have Firewalked before to become qualified as an Instructor – you’ll find lots more information about this in my recent blog post.

Becoming An Accredited Firewalk Instructor

It’s important that your training won’t just give you an exciting ‘retreat style experience’ but that it will also leave you qualified, confident, and accredited to go on and lead your own Firewalks.

Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training is accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) giving you confidence in the high standards of our trainings, as well as opening the doors for you to gain automatic practitioner level accreditation yourself.

There’s A lot To Learn When Qualifying As A Firewalk Instructor

Holding your first firewalk can feel scary, and there’s a lot to learn and then remember to make sure you deliver your firewalks safely and well.

It’s really important that your training also comes with an online component that supports your learning and is there to refer back to when you need it – all our qualifying students here at the Wild Soul Tribe gain access to this on certification.

Ongoing Support For After You Qualify As A Firewalk Instructor Is Important Too

Firewalk instructors are a rare breed – when you’re thinking about qualify as an instructor it’s a good idea to think about how and where you’ll gain ongoing support from people who actually know what they’re talking about!

I make this as easy as possible for my students.  You’ll have 1-to-1 access to me for online mentoring through your first firewalk enabling you to ask any questions in the days and weeks running up to the event, and we also have a vibrant and active alumni group offering community, support, and all kinds of fiery goodness.  I love seeing people from all over the world sharing their pictures and their news from their firewalks.

Deciding If You Want To Qualify As A Firewalk Instructor

This is a big decision – qualifying as a Firewalk Instructor takes an investment of your time and money, you want to be sure that stepping into this auspicious role is right for you, as well as check out the details around the practicalities of training.

If the fire is calling you then there are a few different ways I can support you with your decision.

No pushy sales! Just opportunities to connect, get your questions answered, and decide if we might be a good fit.  You can book a call to speak with me directly, pop me through a message on WhatsApp 👇🏽or watch a quick Q and A I recorded answering some of the most frequent questions I get asked.

Whichever way feels right for you, if you’re feeling the pull of the fire and would like to explore qualifying as a Firewalk Instructor maybe now is the time to take aligned action – I’ll look forward to connecting with you soon.

I’ve Never Firewalked – Can I Train As An Instructor?

Whenever someone is thinking of coming to train with me as a Firewalk Instructor I like to have a quick chat with them on the phone – a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit together.  One of the concerns I hear often is that they’ve never Firewalked before – can they train as an Instructor.

You CAN Train As A Firewalk Instructor If You’ve Never Firewalked

In fact it’s lovely to see someone answering the call of the fire in this way.

Fire is probably the most talked about element when it comes to transformation, and yet it’s still the least worked with in any meaningful way.  If the fire is whispering to you, then stepping up and literally taking a mighty first step into relationship with this powerful and potent element is truly a wonderful thing.

It’s often beautiful to see someone forming such strong foundations with the fire as they move through the dynamics of learning through experience, and from the fire.

BUT, There’s A But…

When it comes to Firewalking there is a lot to learn.  From building the fire in a certain way, lighting it, tenderly tending it, preparing it to be walked, and of course, preparing your participants – once you’ve learned all this you also need to grow your confidence within the skills to get ready and go out and lead others across the hot coal.

Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training is designed to lead you through this process with ease, whether you’ve firewalked many many times, or this is your first taste of walking the hot coals.  We include

• 5 nights live training where we firewalk every day – giving you the experience you need to build your skillset,  confidence and experience
• Capped numbers – no more than 10 Instructor students to ensure you get the 1-to-1 attention, feedback, and mentoring you require with all aspects of working with the fire
• Online component – this isn’t EXTRA online learning, but it is somewhere you can refer back to everything you learned at your live training, as well as find templates for legal documents, stockists for equipment, and more
• Online mentoring through your first Firewalk – you’ll have me in your corner 100% as your prepare for your first firewalk
• International Accreditation – our training is accredited by the IPHM, giving you confidence in our exceptional standards, as well as access to cheaper insurance and automatic membership access with them

You’d Be In Good Firewalking Company

I took part in my first Firewalk on my first night of Firewalk Instructor Training.

Sadly, my training wan’t as good as what I now offer, it was shorted, with many more people, and offered no after training support – I ended up going out and supporting others with their Firewalks to learn more before I had the confidence to lead my own walks.

That said, it did ignite a passion for Firewalking within me, and open up the doorway to my deep relationship with the fire 🔥 I went on to train a a Master Firewalk Instructor, and now Grand Master Firewalker – training other instructors to step into the role of training firewalk instructors too.

Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training – How Good Is It?

If you’re thinking about training to hold your own Firewalks then you want to be sure your training is as good as it possibly can be – for most people putting their own feet on hot coals is a scary thought, so to step into the role of leading others through the experience can be even scarier.  You need to ensure your training will leave you confident, competent, and legal, and I’ve worked really hard to ensure Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training is put together in a way that do just that!

This is clear from how many of my past students are out there holding their own Firewalks and Breakthrough Empowerment activities all around the world.

Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training includes a whole host of extras, at no extra cost, to ensure you have everything you need to bring these beautiful, life changing experiences to others.

What past students say about our Firewalk Instructor Training

What Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training Includes

5 Firewalks

Wild Soul Firewalk Training is 5 nights/6 days long, and we Firewalk every day – that means that you get a chance to grow your own Firewalking experience, which is especially important if you’ve never Firewalked before.

It also means that you get a much-needed opportunity to grow your experience of working with the fire.  Building beautiful Firewalk fires, lighting fires easily (without using smelly accelerants or blow-torches), tending the coals ready to be walked.  All of these skills are essential to have lots of practice of before you go out to the public for your first Firewalk.

International Accreditation

As well as giving you confidence in the standard of our trainings, and automatic access to membership-level at the IPHM, accreditation will make it easier for you to reach out to venues, enable you to access lower-cost insurance, and ensure that your own events are of a super-safe standard without that feeling like hard work.

Online Component

No, this doesn’t mean there’s loads of additional online learning to do!  But what you will find is reminders of much of the information we cover in live training.  What types of wood, what length arrows, how to protect the ground… it’s all there.

We also won’t try and sell you things like arrows or wooden boards at a huge mark-up price – instead, the online component includes information about stockists where you can purchase directly.  Saving you time, effort, and money.

There are also copies of all our documents such as Risk Assessments, Waivers, Site Surveys etc so you can just download these, add all your own information, and off you go.

Firewalk Instructors that have trained with others pay £1000 for access to this part of our training, but it’s all included for you within Wild Soul Training.

What others say about Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training

  But that’s not all you’ll get with Wild Soul Training – there’s more

1-to-1 at live training

Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training is set up to ensure you receive 1-to-1 attention from your trainer.  We do this by capping numbers to ensure your group isn’t rammed.  There’s space to ask me questions directly, and receive a little more support in areas where it might be needed straight from me, at the time you’re learning.

I’ve been certifying Firewalk Instructors since 2018, and still know them all by name.

You’ll never find all the accommodation at the site in Ireland full, even at times when courses have been fully booked 4 months in advance.

Mentoring through your first Firewalk

I would love to spend my time traveling the world attending students Firewalks, but of course this is not possible BUT, I do mentor students through their first Firewalk preparation via WhatsApp.

Want to check which wood might be best – shoot me through a message.

Want to double-check your timings with your planning – shoot me through a message.

You’ve built your fire, does it look ok? – shoot me through a picture.

Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training is good enough that you won’t NEED this level of support, BUT it’s still nice to have someone in your corner as you’re making the decisions for your first event, giving you extra confidence and clarity, and enabling you to focus on what you’re creating for your participants.

Prices still under £3000

While the cost of certifying in other practices, such as breathwork, has risen over and again in recent years, Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor Training is still well under £3000 for everything included.

Training is expensive enough for you to be reassured of our high standards without any corner-cutting, but low-cost enough for you to know that you’ll be able to swiftly make a good return on your financial investment, especially with all the additional support included with Wild Soul Training.

Vibrant Wild Soul alumni group

Going forward from your first event you don’t lose the ability to ask me, and other Wild Soul Firewalkers, questions.

Our alumni group is a vibrant forum where so many of my past students actively participate – asking questions, sharing pictures from their events, supporting one another, and creating International opportunities.

As quite a new feature, through the group you can also leave your details to be listed on our website too.

I’m also super-active in the group – answering questions, lighting candles for your walks, and sharing discount codes for my other courses – it’s a great space to be in.

Certification to work with other modalities

Wild Soul Firewalk instructor Training doesn’t just certify you to work with Firewalks, it includes certification to work with these other modalities

• Glass Walk
• Arrow Breaking with the throat
• Wooden Board Breaking
• Rebar Bending with the throat

This means that you leave equipped with an array of Breakthrough Empowerment activities to be able to take out to your participants, keeping them coming back time and again to take part in different workshops, ceremonies, and retreats.

What others say about Firewalk Training the wild soul way

Wild Soul Firewalker Instructor Training Summed Up

It’s difficult to sum-up Wild Soul Firewalk Training – yes you’ll leave with an array of new skills, the support you need to take them out to the World, and confidence in the knowledge that it’s all done to the highest possible standards.  But there’s more…

When I asked past students to comment on their training experience there were 3 phrases that came up over and again

1. Life Changing
2. Heart Opening
3. New Family

I’m delighted that my trainings create such magical experiences for people who come along, and I still pinch myself that people travel from all over the world to be a part of them.  I wonder if you came along to a Wild Soul Training what you would say about the experience – there’s only one way to find out!

could training as a Wild Soul Firewalk Instructor be for you?

Firewalking definitely isn’t for everyone, but if this post has tweaked your interest why not click through to take my 2 minute quiz to find out if training as a Wild Soul Firewalk Facilitator could be a good fit for you.

Firewalking has been a BIG part of my life for around 10 years now, and to be honest I think it was always there waiting for me to find it – I cannot imagine (and find it hard to recall) life without hot coals!

Firewalking has brought so much richness and diversity to my life, I’m so glad I walk this path. If it’s something you’ve ever done, or you’re considering training as an Instructor, here’s a list you might relate to….

5 things i wish i had known about firewalking before i trained as an instructor….

1. Firewalking Opens International Opportunities

I love to travel and explore, as well as learn about other cultures – what I didn’t realise is that when you train as a Firewalk Instructor you really do become a part of a tribe, represented around the Globe. 

By connecting with other Instructors I’ve been able to travel to support and take part in Firewalks all around the World.

Amazingly, over the last 5 years I’ve been training instructors, people now travel from all over the world to learn from me too.

3. Not All Instructor Trainings Are Equal

Some trainings are geared much more towards personal experience than equipping people to hold their own Firewalks.

The training I originally took part in had no opportunity to practice leading any of the activities, with equipment literally counted out to one per participant so that it was just focused on my personal experience, not my business offerings or development.

We often learn more from what we don’t like than what we do, and I now go above and beyond to ensure my students are fully ready to lead others over hot coals, as well as through all the other breakthrough activities covered on the course.

5. It Never Gets Boring

When done right, Firewalking never gets tiresome or feels like work.

Over 10 years on, having Firewalked my way around the World, working with over 10 Master Instructors from around the Globe, and led way too many people to count across the coals, I’m still passionate about Firewalking and sneak the opportunity to walk myself whenever I can.

Each Firewalk has the opportunity to bring off-the-scale energy, fresh challenges, and new joy.

Who knew when I signed up to train as an Instructor (I’d never Firewalked at the time) what an exciting journey I was stepping into.
