Weirdly enough, many people choose to suffer, are addicted to the struggle, or think their anxiety and stress are normal. But here's Sam Skelly's truth: everything you need to live the life you want, everything you need to be the person you want to be is already inside of you. As an international speaker, best-selling author, wellness coach expert, and breathwork facilitator, Sam knows a thing or two about growth, transformation, and recovery. After struggling with disordered eating and body image issues for years, she discovered the power of breathwork, which led her to start her own journey of healing.  Since then she has founded two companies, Pause Breathwork and Hungry for Happiness in hopes to help others overcome their own pain and struggles. Her mission is to reduce human suffering by increasing human consciousness through the power of breathwork, one human at a time. To put it simply, " you are perfect, your body is the healer, and you already have everything you need to experience sustainable transformation."

Meet Greg Kinsey. A practitioner of meditation and holotropic breathwork, who has years of experience as a professional in the medical world. After building a career in pharmaceuticals and medical devices, Greg noticed people searching for answers outside of themselves for personal solutions, which inspired him to research, shift, and dive into the magic of meditation and breathwork. His studies led him to understanding trauma and the human experiences from the works of Gabor Mate and Bessel Van Der Kolk to clinical literature on holotropic breathing and other conscious, mindful breathing techniques. Soon after, he felt a profound difference in his approach to life and his ability to handle stress and felt inspired to share his knowledge and experiences. Hosting group events as well as one-on-one sessions both in person and online, Greg's purpose is to share and help others be the best they can be in a world that doesn't teach us about emotional intelligence or healthy stress reduction mechanisms. His incredible work has touched everyday people in letting go of the baggage of past experiences that keep them in protection mode, and foster their inner connection mode.
