Breathwork in Vancouver is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after wellness practices for those looking to reset their nervous system, process emotions, and reconnect with a deeper sense of clarity and purpose.
If you have searched “breathwork Vancouver” recently, you have likely noticed a growing number of practitioners offering everything from somatic healing to spiritually guided journeys. As the sea of options grows, we’re sharing five recommended breathwork facilitators shaping the landscape in Vancouver, each offering a distinct approach to this powerful practice.
First, what is breathwork? Breathwork is the practice of consciously working with the breath to influence your mental, emotional, and physical state.
In a typical guided breathwork session in Vancouver, you will be taught, and led through a specific breathing pattern, for an extended period of time, often set to music. These sessions are designed to help people access and release stored emotions or energy in the body, regulate the nervous system, and drop into deeper clarity and coherence. Many people report feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected after just one session. Here are the Vancouver breathwork facilitators we’ve tried and recommend.
When it comes to breathwork in Vancouver, Monica Krake is known for a refined, intuitive, and results-oriented approach. Her sessions go beyond emotional release. They are designed to help clients access clarity in their life, relationships, and business. Drawing from her background in facilitation and entrepreneurship, Monica blends breathwork with visioning and integration, blending hands-on touch and tuning forks to create experiences that are both grounding and expansive. She offers private sessions, group journeys, and corporate breathwork sessions and has become a trusted name for breathwork in Vancouver.
Located on Salt Spring Island, but often facilitating in Vancouver, Ariana Fotinakis offers a trauma-informed approach to breathwork, grounded in nervous system awareness, deep presence, and her Indigenous cultural roots. Arian’s sessions are often themed around astrology, and the seasons, and her approach is particularly supportive for those navigating stress, identity, or major life transitions. With a focus on safety and inclusivity, Ariana creates spaces where people can reconnect with their body and move at their own pace.
Based in North Vancouver, Erin and Mark from Ocea Breathwork have become known for their relational and community-focused approach to breathwork in Vancouver. Their sessions often explore connection to self, others, and the present moment in a way that supports growth and healing. Through partner work and group experiences, they create breathwork environments that feel both modern and deeply human.
Located in Squamish, Carmen Ganne takes a highly devotional approach to the breathwork sessions she leads through her online breathwork membership and in person at studios like Join Breathwork and others around the Lower Mainland. With her background in somatic therapy, yoga, and social work, Carmen is an exceptional space holder. She specializes in conscious connected breathwork, supporting emotional release and regulation, and reminding people of the power of the breath to connect with greater life.
And finally, another incredible facilitator is Victoria Howson, who offers a more energetically attuned style of breathwork that weaves in her channeling of Lemurian energy. Victoria’s sessions combine breath, sound, and intuitive guidance, creating immersive experiences that support expanded awareness and deeper connection. She’s not easy to find online as she doesn’t have a website, but she’s definitely worth the effort!
When it comes to exploring breathwork Vancouver, it is less about finding the best facilitator and more about finding the right fit for you. In a world that moves quickly, connecting with our breath can change everything.
