“Chris is all heart.  From the moment you arrive in his space you immediately feel held by his genuine care and tenderness, important qualities for one guiding others into places of emotional depth. I felt safe to access parts of me that were causing consistent suffering, and liberate my pain with full voice and energy, led by Chris and encouraged by his example.  
 
He is clearly very passionate about his work, and skilled in providing the structure necessary to access the power of this unique healing modality all the while establishing a space for flow and ease.  Such a combination allows for the greatest amounts of revelation and release. I highly recommend being a part of anything that Chris is offering.  We need more facilitators who are so steeped in love.”

“Chris is an amazing human. He is 100% heart centered. His level of compassion for suffering is next level, and his breathwork reflects it.  You should definitely take Chris’s Breathwork journey. I am a massage therapist and remote healer and I recognize another healer when I seen them.”

I recently did a private breathwork session with Chris Thier. I had done group breathwork before, but I was a little nervous about doing a private session. That nervousness went away immediately when I met Chris. He has a calm, accepting demeanor and I felt safe and comfortable letting emotions bubble to the surface during the session. He is a gifted breathwork guide and I highly recommend his sessions! 

Working with Chris at Confluence Breath & Bodywork has been truly life-changing. I’ve had remote sessions with him for about a year, including one while traveling internationally, and his presence was so grounded it felt like he was right beside me. Chris creates a calm, safe space where I’ve experienced profound emotional release and healing. His intuitive guidance is deeply personalized, helping me process long-held trauma and drastically reduce my stress levels. I feel lighter in my head, heart, and body after every session. Chris is genuinely gifted—his loving energy and support make each breathwork journey a meaningful path to transformation and growth. I highly recommend him to anyone ready to begin their healing journey.

I recently attended a Breathwork session led by Chris at the Hanai Center. From beginning to end, Chris approached the session with incredible thoughtfulness and care. Breathwork can be transformative, opening pathways and helping you overcome challenges in a relatively unique manner…and Chris is an ideal guide.  Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran of Breathwork, his work will be meaningful for you.  I consider Breathwork to be as effective as deep meditation, but with more active involvement, and with more immediate results.  Chris is a gifted and compassionate healer, and we are fortunate to have him practicing and sharing his gifts in our community.

I cannot recommend Chris highly enough as a breathwork guide. My wife and I recently had the privilege of experiencing a guided breathwork session with him in our home, and it was nothing short of transformative.
Breathwork, much like deep meditation, offers a gateway to profound relaxation and self-exploration. Under Chris’s expert guidance, we were led through a session that was both grounding and expansive—an experience that felt at times like an altered state of consciousness, almost an out-of-body journey. His approach seamlessly blended technique, atmosphere, and intention, allowing us to completely surrender to the process.
One of the standout aspects of our session was Chris’s use of Bluetooth headphones and a carefully curated soundtrack that played throughout. The music created a full sensory immersion, deepening the experience in a way that wouldn’t have been possible in silence. The rhythmic breathing patterns, combined with the music’s ebb and flow, made the session feel both personal and profound.
The fact that he came to our home made all the difference. There was something uniquely intimate and safe about engaging in this practice within our own space. When the session ended, my wife and I sat together in absolute serenity—calm, centered, and deeply connected. That sense of peace lingered long after Chris had left.
If you are considering breathwork for relaxation, emotional release, or even just a reset from daily stress, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris. His presence is calm and supportive, his knowledge is deep, and his ability to create a truly immersive experience is exceptional. Whether you’re new to breathwork or have practiced before, he will guide you into a state of clarity and relaxation that is both powerful and lasting.
Highly recommended!

I bought Chris’ Breathwork session as a gift for my husband, and it was amazing. From the time Chris arrived to our home, his calm demeanor and gentle spirt, set the tone for what was to come. We set up our mats by the fireplace and nestled into our pillows & blankets. Chris introduced us to the journey ahead, and what we may experience. His soothing voice, led us through a variety of breathwork techniques, that dropped me into a level of deep relaxation within my own consciousness. The highlight, was when I was behind hugged by my father: who has been gone for 18 years, while simultaneously holding my husband’s hand. This left me feeling an extraordinary deep level of love. Chris’ heartfelt Breathwork session is still reverberating through my mind, body and spirit. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this breakthrough experience. PJ F.

I recently attended one of Chris’s group breathwork sessions at Namaspa and was truly blown away. The space he created felt safe, grounded, and deeply transformative. Chris has a calm, reassuring presence that immediately puts you at ease. I felt completely held and supported throughout the entire experience—his guidance was both intuitive and steady, allowing me to fully surrender to the process. The session led to profound emotional release and clarity. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and deeply grateful. Highly recommend his sessions to anyone curious about breathwork or looking for a powerful reset.

Chris is a gentle soul and the space was made so inviting and comfortable. His compassion and heartfelt guidance made everyone feel safe and heard. The use of headphones made the session very private with no distractions- just healing.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

What is breathwork? It’s a way to get into your subconscious that’s easier than therapy, quicker than meditation, and better than yoga…. I first tried this weird, but AMAZING transformational breath work in 2018 by accident. I was so impressed with the results (-like a weight had been lifted from my mind & body), that I did a teacher training in it in 2020- it’s THAT life changing.

Since then I have tried and enjoyed lots of different breath-work classes and this was THE best one I have ever attended. Seriously! Do yourself a favor and go to one of Chris’s classes.
I have been working with these guys since years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!

I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Chris Thier, who joined us as a guest breathwork facilitator at Urban Calm, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, our interactions were smooth, professional, and filled with ease. Chris showed up prepared, present, and willing to support in every way—whether it was guiding the group with intention or pitching in behind the scenes.

His facilitation style is grounded, heart-centered, and beautifully attuned to the group. He held space with wisdom and care, allowing participants to feel safe, seen, and inspired. It was a joy to witness him in his element and to co-create such a meaningful offering.

I’m already looking forward to the next time we get to collaborate—and I can’t wait to be a participant at one of his upcoming events. I highly recommend connecting with Chris if you’re looking to bring depth, integrity, and soulful presence into your offerings or your personal practice.

Chris is the definition of a calming gentle influence and his ability to re-center your situation is second to none. He has been instrumental in my personal development, growth and healing. His expertise in breathwork and yoga is top notch, intimate yet professional and he always follows thru and follows up.

Chris is an amazing healer… I had the pleasure of attending one of his Breathwork events, my first breathwork event, actually. So often with our busy schedules we shove down feelings and stresses which if not acknowledged and released can cause blockages, leading to untimely outbursts, and in some cases dis-ease. The idea of the breathwork is to go deep inside and allow those feelings and energy to flow. I love that we had headsets to take in the soundscape and hear Chris’s guidance as if he were speaking to each of us one-on-one, eye masks to be aware only of our own internal path of self discovery. This creates a safe space to allow the emotions without feeling as if everyone is watching and judging. Yet being in a group I was innately aware that while we were taking this personal journey, there was a resonance in the room – every one of us digging into our own psyche was simultaneously benefitting from the energetic healing of the whole. Each piece of music was curated to gently guide us into connecting with self, allowing emotions to bubble to the surface and be released as they should. And I did, indeed, release. When the guided journey came to a finish my body felt relaxed and my mind was at peace. Thanks so much, Chris, for the beautiful work you are doing. It is so needed these days, and you are a gentle master at helping people feel safe enough to let go. <3

Chris held the most gentle and supportive space for me to experience a true transformational breathwork session. From his clear and confident guidance, to his emotional intelligence, to his overall professionalism, I felt held through my whole experience. As an experienced breathwork facilitator myself, I know how important it is to be able to meet clients where they are at— And that’s exactly what Chris did for me.

I’m so grateful to be able to call upon his services when I need this work. He’s my first choice. Highly recommend!

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Chris for more than a decade and have watched him step fully into this work with clarity and integrity. His presence is steady and grounding, and there’s a sincerity in how he shows up for others that reflects the depth of his own path. A gift to those who take his class.

To be of service, it is our authenticity, compassion, and spaciousness that allows people to feel safe enough to explore, release, and reconnect—and Chris embodies those qualities beautifully.

What Chris offers at Confluence Breath and Bodywork is more than a practice; it’s an invitation to return to oneself with courage and care. Thank you, Chris.
