Lena Childers
FOUNDER/CEO
About Lena
Lena is the founder of Just Breathe Somatic Breathwork, a transformative wellness practice that blends science, spirituality, and holistic healing to help people rediscover their alive-ness by way of connection, clarity, and purpose.
With a degree in Social Work, a national certification in Breathwork Detox, and over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, Lena draws from a rich and diverse background in both traditional and alternative healing. Her unique approach combines evidence-based techniques with deep somatic wisdom, offering a pathway for profound emotional release and personal transformation.
Lena trained under Kurtis Lee Thomas, founder of Breathwork Detox, whose work has reached top-tier organizations such as NASA & Nike. This world-class training equipped Lena with advanced tools to bring life-changing breathwork to a wide range of clients—from couples looking to rebuild intimacy to corporate teams striving for focus, retention, and resilience.
What sets Lena’s work apart is Quantum Breathwork—a next-level experience that goes beyond traditional breath practices. This isn’t just about relaxation or stress relief; it’s about reprogramming your entire operating system. Quantum Breathwork works on all three layers of your being:
The conscious mind (clearing mental clutter)
The physical body (releasing stored tension)
The subconscious mind (breaking old patterns)
By fusing ancient breath techniques with cutting-edge innovations like Sonic Headset technology, binaural beats, live personalized coaching, and embedded Hz frequencies, Lena helps clients access altered states of awareness and dive deeper into their healing than they thought possible.
These frequencies are strategically embedded to balance energy centers, enhance the transient hypofrontality experience in the frontal lobe, and amplify the impact of every breath—unlocking clarity, creativity, and deep emotional shifts.
Lena’s journey into wellness was deeply personal. After a betrayal shattered her world, she found herself scrambling to pick up the pieces. In the chaos of heartbreak and survival, the gift of desperation set her on a search for something to ease the pain. That’s when breathwork seemingly found her.
What began as a tool for personal healing quickly became a life-changing turning point. Somatic breathwork helped Lena move through trauma, reclaim her power, and ultimately rebuild the intimacy in her marriage. It became the bridge between breakdown and breakthrough.
Lena’s work is grounded in authenticity, humility, and a deep belief in the body’s innate ability to heal. Her mission is simple: to help others breathe life back into their relationships, their purpose, and their potential.
If you’re ready for more than surface-level change—if you’re ready to shift on every level—Lena invites you to experience the next frontier of wellness through Quantum Breathwork.

Our Story & Mission
Just Breathe Somatic Breathwork was founded by us, Daniel and Lena, as a testament to the transformative power of healing and reconnection. Our journey began with love, vulnerability, and partnership but was tested to its core by betrayal and deep disconnection. Despite exploring countless avenues of healing—therapy, EMDR, intensive programs—nothing seemed to restore the closeness and trust we longed for.
Everything changed when Lena discovered somatic breathwork. It was a practice that didn’t just address our minds but connected us to our deepest selves—and ultimately to each other. When Lena introduced breathwork to Daniel, it became the turning point for our relationship. For the first time, we felt a vulnerability and commitment to each other that was unshakable. Breathwork didn’t just save our marriage; it gave us a new vision for the life we wanted to create together.
We’re now proud to share this practice with others who are searching for healing, connection, and hope.
As a blended family raising three children, we understand the challenges of balancing relationships, personal growth, and family life. We’ve both faced traumatic childhoods shaped by abuse, addiction, and poverty, yet these struggles have fueled our passion for breaking generational cycles and living in alignment with the values we want to pass on to our children and humanity.
At Just Breathe, we believe in the power of breath to create profound transformation. Whether you’re navigating betrayal, feeling disconnected in your relationship, or simply looking to deepen your intimacy, we’re here to guide you. We also extend our work beyond couples, facilitating group and corporate sessions designed to help individuals find alignment, release stress, and build stronger connections with others.
Our story isn’t just about overcoming the past—it’s about creating a future built on hope, love, and purpose. We invite you to take the first step toward healing and growth with us. Together, we can help you breathe new life into your relationships, your family, and yourself.
Wishing you Light & Love on your wellness journey!
