Our back stories

An opportunity to learn more about why we care about creating nurturing experiences for people and the path that led us here

Most of my favorite places to be are outside. Hiking, camping, gardening, floating in the ocean, anywhere with the beauty of nature. Motherhood and family are central in my life. I lost sight of me in the moments leading up to getting sober. Recovery gave me back the version of myself who could enjoy those things again.

My path of recovery offered self-discovery, safe spaces to be vulnerable, and a chance to connect with other people who relate to my experience. I've come to learn that we're all in recovery from something. Once I felt steady enough, I wanted to pass that feeling on.

I started hosting women's wellness retreats so I could share the same connection and empowerment that lifted me up. Watching another woman take a deep breath and realize she's not alone gives me purpose and joy.

Meet Jaclyn

Mitzi is a first-generation Mexican American and a mother to two boys who constantly remind her how much growth and healing can exist alongside the chaos of everyday life. Mitzi is the owner and founder of Soulfulness Breath.

Soulfulness Breath was born from her own personal experiences and the deep desire to create something that could support others through their own challenges. She believe each of us carries the capacity to begin our own healing. The simple act of showing up for yourself — even when it feels hard — can be the first step toward reconnecting with your own strength, resilience, and energy.

As your breathwork guide, Mitzi will offer a safe and compassionate environment where you can feel seen, validated, and supported as you reconnect with yourself.
