BreathWorks, located in Squamish, BC was born out of a deep-seated desire to create a community space where modern science and ancient knowledge came together to foster holistic healing, in an accessible way.
Founded by Loretta Cella, a senior certified professional coach, educator, and visionary leader with a profound understanding of human services, BreathWorks is the culmination of years of dedication to supporting people worldwide in cultivating inner leadership and living a thriving and meaningful life.
At BreathWorks Studios, we are on a mission to transform lives through the power of breathwork, heart science, and nature-infused healing practices. We believe that true health encompasses not just the body, but the mind and heart as well. Our goal is to provide individuals with the tools they need to regulate their nervous systems, enhance cardiovascular health, and cultivate a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
We have a BOLD goal of supporting people across the world to change the way they interact with life and become advocates of heart-focused living, away from self-harm and violence and into empowered, caring communities.
In addition, we only offer non appropriated, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed experiences. We believe in doing our part to decolonize healing and health and do our best to stay informed.
The world today is facing unprecedented challenges, especially in mental and emotional health, exacerbated by the isolation and stress of recent times. We recognize the urgent need for holistic approaches that address these challenges at their core.
By integrating heart science, breathwork, meditation, and yoga, we offer a unique and powerful path to healing that is accessible to all. We are committed to creating a supportive community where individuals can thrive and realize their full potential.
