Anthony Olsen (module teacher and facilitator) is a Melbourne based psychotherapist and Holotropic Breathwork® practitioner. He incorporates transpersonal perspectives within a relational model, offering both Holotropic Breathwork® and Process Oriented psychotherapy as therapeutic tools.
Anthony had his first experience of Holotropic Breathwork® in 1997, with one of Australia’s pioneering Holotropic Breathwork® practitioners, the Reverend Alf Foote. Alf Foote was a part of the key month-long workshops at the Esalen community during the 1980’s when Stan Grof started to form the set and setting for Holotropic Breathwork.
Anthony worked closely in a therapeutic context with Alf Foote over a number of years exploring the power and potential of Holotropic Breathwork®, which eventually led to bringing the Grof Transpersonal Training certification program in Australia in 2006. Anthony attended the training certification in 2013.
In addition to his work as an Acupuncturist and Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator Anthony also works as a web designer in Melbourne.
