About Briana Lynn

Certified Breathwork Guide // Somatic Practitioner // Life Coach // Spiritual Mentor

Creating sacred containers for deep healing and transformation is one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of my life. It’s an honor to be invited to compassionately witness, guide, and support someone’s unique path toward healing, empowerment, and authentic connection with life. I say yes to this work again and again—with reverence, gratitude, and awe for the human spirit.

My background weaves together traditional academics, alternative and ancient healing practices, lived experience, and a lifelong curiosity about the human condition.

For over 20 years, I’ve served in helping professions—beginning as a crisis intervention specialist while earning my Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Sciences at Oregon State University. I later transitioned into nonprofit fundraising, helping secure long-term, compassionate support for Portland’s highest-risk youth.

During my years as a stay-at-home mom my passion for human connection took a new form through portrait photography—a practice that became both art and activism, creating platforms for people from diverse backgrounds to be truly seen in their humanity. (See my portfolio here.) Over time, I realized that what I love most is facilitating experiences that awaken self-discovery, healing, and transformation.

My insatiable passion for learning continues to guide my path. I am a certified Holosomatic Breathwork Facilitator and Somatic Therapies Specialist (InnerCamp, 2022) and hold certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy (The Embody Lab, 2024). I’ve also trained extensively in Shamanic Studies and Energy Medicine, (learning with Jan Engels-Smith, Karen Hefner, Pamela Rico, and other mentors and teachers), Mindfulness (Peace in Schools), Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication with Meenadchi, and Anti-Racism in New Age Spirituality and Women’s Empowerment Spaces with Dr. Frantonia Pollins.

Each day, I remain a devoted student—exploring new tools, insights, and ways of understanding what it means to be human, embodied, and alive. Through my work, I have the great privilege of sharing these discoveries with others in service of their own healing and empowerment.

In my personal life, you’ll often find me practicing yoga, cooking nourishing meals, dancing, thrifting for hidden treasures, discovering new music, or spending time with my family, friends, and two very silly cats.

    “

    Briana is a very gifted practitioner who pours her heart into her offering. Her guidance is very supportive, confident and heart felt. I felt very held and safe during the transformative journey she led me through. As a result of the session, I was able to get out of low vibrations of stress, fear and survival into an empowered state of wholeness, connection and gratitude.

  • DANA Z.

    “

    I felt safe, held, seen and loved. I released a ton of stuck emotion that I didn’t even know I was holding onto. The music was beautifully curated and the space was cozy yet professional. I am so grateful for this experience!

  • ERICA P.

    “

    Briana's session was extremely powerful. The combination of her coaching and the music were on point. I had vivid meditative visions during my session and released blocked energy from both my body and my mind. Truly a powerful journey. Her soft calmness created the space I needed to let go.

  • NICOLE R.

    “Breathwork - WOW - what an incredible tool. After seeing upwards of 7 different therapists with different styles of practice, breifly being on antidepressants, reading countless books on anxiety, breathwork really cracked my egg. I feel like it made my body release things I’ve been stubbornly keeping inside me for maybe…my entire teen and adult life. So so SO grateful for this experience.”

  • BEN C.

    “Briana has helped me learn how I can use my breath to relieve stress, unlock deep personal insights, and step into the world with more clarity. During the times I’ve worked with her, she’s created a very comfortable environment and offered expert guidance as I learned to focus on my own process. Each time. I’ve learned something new about myself, and how something as simple as breathing can be so healing.”
