In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ramon Christopher, founder of First Breath, for a conversation that invites us back into the body—through the most ancient and accessible tool we have: the breath.

Ramon is a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, somatic guide, and describes himself as the “Wingman for Higher.” Over the past five years, he’s helped individuals and groups harness the power of Conscious Connected Breathwork to move through stress, emotional overwhelm, and even spiritual awakening—with no agenda, no force, and no need to be anything other than present.

What makes Ramon’s work unique is his ability to bridge worlds. With a background in traditional business settings, he understands the pressures of burnout, disconnection, and constant output. And through breathwork, he helps busy-minded professionals—and everyday people—slow down, reset, and reconnect with themselves.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How conscious breathing helps regulate the nervous system
• Why breath unlocks access to stored emotion and deeper intuition
• The science behind altered states and neurochemical shifts through breathwork
• What to expect in a session—from safety to integration
• Why this practice is especially powerful for people who’ve struggled to heal through words alone

Whether you’re brand new to breathwork or you’ve already dipped into the practice, Ramon offers a grounded, thoughtful, and expansive look at how the breath can be both a tool and a teacher.
