You’ve heard “take a deep breath” your whole life…

But what if that deep breath actually makes stress or anxiety worse?

Most of us were never taught how to breathe in a way that truly helps relax the body and quiet the mind.

We’re here to change that.

At Blue River Breathwork, we help women who are in their next chapter.

The empty nesters, the caretakers, and the recent retirees become more present and feel more peace when others need them most.

I’m in, let’s do this ❤️

The first step is to learn how your breathing keeps you stuck in stress and how to escape stress using just your breath.

We’ll teach you what you need to know in this lesson - it’s free, submit your email below & you’ll get access instantly.

No Spam. Just breath tips & tricks that have helped us and our community.

What you’ll get in the free lesson is:

  • Knowledge: A science-backed explanation about the “ Anxiety Loop” that keeps you stuck in stress.

  • Measurement: An easy way to measure your stress levels at home in less than 60 seconds (no doctor, no devices).

  • Guidance: Our 4-minute guided breath track for instant anxiety relief.

It’s incredible how a simple, active breathing and a certain way to have such a profound impact on one’s mental and physical state. Alex held incredible space for amazing release to happen in just a short amount of time. I definitely recommend everyone to experience this and practice it regularly.

If you’re like most people we’ve worked with, no one taught you how to breathe.

Maybe you’ve tasted some breath techniques at mindfulness or yoga classes. Those helped, but didn’t translate over to your everyday life.

Our goal is to help you soothe your stress and relieve your worries by making healthy daily breathing a habit outside of class.

We live in a stressed, anxious, and worried world.

But You don’t have to worry with it.

Be the present & peaceful person you need to be so you can serve others even better. It all starts with this free lesson.

Deagan and Alex cultivated a beautiful and safe space for individuals (most who had never met before!) to work through our insecurities, traumas, and wounds - while providing the breathwork tools that we can use in every day life to help overcome these obstacles.

Some of the pain in my body, heart and spirit can be difficult to access for the sole purpose of letting it go. Often it finds it's way to the surface when I least expect it or it seeps out when leaving me feeling stuck and heavy. The unique power within breath work and specifically this breath practice is that we arrive together, in support of one's own experience, with like minded people and we breath in and out.

Your Breath & Stress Guides

Alex & Deagan are a husband and wife team that live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. They co-founded Blue River Breathwork in the wake of a disastrous flood & hurricane that ravaged through the land and towns they love. During that time, they served best by helping people breathe through what happened. Since their community has begun to recover, they now bring these teachings to those involved with Hospice Care for free.

  • From infant respiratory viruses, to asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, and chronic anxiety attacks, Alex knows exactly what it’s like to feel he’s a victim to his own breath and lungs. 

    For Alex, the first time doing breathwork felt like “the lights were turned back on” - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. 

    Alex is an Advanced Breathwork Facilitator who has learned from and studied under a variety of teachers spanning multiple lineages. 

  • Deagan’s breathwork journey began with her mother’s terminal diagnosis. 

    For the first time in her life she was feeling that she wasn’t showing up the way she wanted to. The emotional stress and anxiety on top of being the primary caretaker was overwhelming. 

    To process the emotions, anxiety, fear, anger, and sadness she turned to breathwork. This outlet helped her enormously to continue to show up as the caretaker, daughter, sister, and wife she needed and wanted to be. 

    After experiencing the benefits of breathwork firsthand, she underwent the Breathwork Facilitator Training to continue learning information to not only help herself, but to begin serving others. 

You take care of others.
But this one is for you and them.

“Breathing with Deagan and Alex is a pleasure. Their balanced vibes create a really safe and cozy space to drop into the experience. I'm always a little unsure of myself when I approach Breathwork, but each time I've practiced with these teachers I leave feeling fulfilled, refreshed, and renewed.
