about ME.
My name is Melissa Helwig Detwiler and I am a certified breathwork facilitator, trained by David Elliott & Erin Telford. I am a graduate from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising Management and worked as a fashion buyer at world renowned retailers like Barneys New York, Topshop and Urban Outfitters.
In August of 2020 several months into the global pandemic, I took on a new role as a mother, which has been the hardest yet most fulfilling role to date. In June of 2022, I was diagnosed with a Desmoid tumor which took a huge toll on my mental health, mostly driven by all the advocating I had to do for myself in finding answers. I had a very difficult time navigating postpartum and beyond until I found breathwork and Kundalini Yoga. I have always been inspired and motivated to learn and do more. I dove into inner work with therapy and reading about healing, trauma, emotions and the mind body connection. breathwork has helped me to heal and regulate my nervous system.
I love learning and it is a privilege to hold space for you while guiding you through the magic of breathwork.
