I’m a breathwork facilitator, not a guru.

My role is to create a grounded, respectful container where you do the work. It’s an honor to be trusted with that responsibility, and I hold it with care.

I didn’t arrive at this work through perfection or enlightenment. I arrived through lived experience.

I grew up in a home shaped by divorce and early emotional instability. As a child, I experienced sexual trauma that I didn’t have the language or support to process at the time. That pain showed up later as anger, confusion, and self-destructive patterns. Like many people, I spent years trying to outrun what my body was holding.

At 16, I was introduced to personal development work that helped me see possibility and responsibility in a new way. That momentum carried me forward, but unprocessed trauma eventually resurfaced. I lost relationships I cared deeply about and had to confront parts of myself I had been avoiding.

That period forced a turning point. I committed to doing the work honestly—without bypassing, without pretending, and without expecting someone else to fix me.

Breathwork entered my life during that rebuilding phase. What stood out wasn’t intensity or performance, but how direct and embodied it was. Breathwork didn’t ask me to analyze my past or change my story—it asked me to stay present with my body long enough for it to release what it had been holding.

That experience stayed with me.

Years later, after exploring other creative and entrepreneurial paths, I returned to breathwork with clarity. I trained and certified under JonPaul Crimi and committed fully to facilitating this work for others.

I’ve been facilitating breathwork for over five years. I’ve sat with people in grief, anxiety, numbness, and transition. I’ve watched individuals reconnect with parts of themselves they thought were gone. Again and again, I’m reminded that the breath doesn’t heal people—people heal themselves when given the right conditions.

Creating a supportive environment is essential to that process. At the same time, I don’t believe growth happens in spaces that promise zero risk. Vulnerability always involves choice and courage. What matters is being met with steadiness, respect, and care when you show up honestly.

My job is to help create those conditions:

• Clear guidance

• Nervous-system awareness

• Respect for personal boundaries

• Space for whatever arises

Nothing more. Nothing less.

Whether we work together in person or online, I approach every session with humility and care. This work is deeply personal, and it’s never something I take lightly.

If my approach resonates with you, I’d be honored to breathe with you.

Online Group Breathwork Circle

An online gathering for people across the country to breathe together—each in the quiet safety of your own room, yet part of the same collective breathing field.

There’s something quietly powerful about knowing others are moving through their own process at the same moment, without anyone needing to perform or be seen. You stay completely sovereign in your private space; the group simply holds a steady, shared presence.

This is not passive breathing. This is BreathWORK. It asks something of your body.

You may feel strong physical sensations: tetany, shift in body temperature, sweating, tingling all over, surges of energy, even dream-like visual moments. It can feel uncomfortable, or straight-up effortful at times.

But, when we meet those sensations without pushing them away or forcing a “nice” experience, something profound can happen. You’re not chasing a high—you’re giving your nervous system the conditions to shift out of fight/flight and back into rest-and-digest.

Again and again, I've watched people discover it’s profoundly worth it. The release that follows, the clarity, the deep return to themselves—these are the gifts on the other side. Many leave feeling more at peace than they have in a long time. I’ve seen it, I’ve felt it, and I know you can do this.

The full flow (90 minutes total):

• Welcome & grounding (5–10 min) A clear arrival, explanation of the breathwork, and how the session will unfold so you know what to expect.

• Conscious connected breathing (~25–28 min) The heart of the practice: steady, connected breathing that invites deep release. You’ll be guided clearly and precisely. This is where the real work happens—no forcing, but no bypassing either.

• The big release yell (~30 seconds) A powerful, consensual vocal release—let it out fully. (Quick note: If anyone else is home, let them know ahead of time that you’ll be doing a loud, intentional yell so it doesn’t sound like distress.)

• Rest & integration song (~3–4 min) A quiet song plays while I go completely silent. You rest, feel, let the body settle. No talking, no cues—just space to land.

• Two short guided visualizations (~12–15 min total)

  1. Heart moments — Bring to mind a beautiful memory or moment you’re grateful for, then draw it into your heart and let it expand.

  2. Time machine meditation (my personal favorite) — See yourself as a child, offer that younger self love and kind words of affirmation. Then turn toward your future self and receive whatever wisdom or presence wants to come through.

• Side-lying rest (~5–8 min) Roll onto your side, stay with whatever is present, let everything integrate.

• Closing circle (~10–20 min) Optional sharing (voice or chat). Zero pressure to speak—your silence is just as welcome and valuable. At the same time, this space celebrates vulnerability. When someone chooses to share honestly, it often quietly helps others feel safer to open. Let your truth shine if it feels right.

We aim to stay within 90 minutes, but late arrivals or longer shares can extend the session slightly. Setting aside a full 90 minutes (with a little buffer) keeps everything un-rushed.

What you’ll need in your space:

• A comfortable spot on the floor with a yoga mat or thick blanket

• No pillow under your head — keep your head aligned with your spine for easier breathing

• Good headphones (essential for clear guidance and music)

• A closed door for privacy

• Cup of water nearby

• Blanket or pillow under your knees for low-back comfort

• Optional: eye mask if your room is bright

These sessions are for anyone who wants the depth of breathwork but:

• struggles to carve out time to travel to a studio

• feels more at ease exploring intense emotion or sensation in the privacy of their own space

• has a specific intention or sensitivity that could get lost in a shared physical room

• wants the support of a collective field without needing to be seen or perform

You stay fully in charge of your experience—private, protected, and still quietly connected to something larger.

This work can be demanding. It can also be deeply transformative. If you’re ready to meet whatever shows up and see what’s possible on the other side, I’d be truly honored to hold that space and guide you through it.

With love & gratitude, Tai Pfeifer
