INNER ETHER

A SPACE WHERE SOUND AND BREATH MEET TO GUIDE THE BODY INTO REMEMBRANCE. A SANCTUARY FOR THOSE SEEKING RECONNECTION WITH SELF, WITH STILLNESS. IN AYURVEDA, ETHER IS THE SOURCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. THE MOST SUBTLE ELEMENT, FROM WHICH ALL OTHERS ARISE. INNER ETHER INVITES YOU INTO THAT QUIET PLACE WITHIN. THE ONE ONLY YOU CAN ACCESS. THE ONE THAT KNOWS.

Inspirational quote in cursive handwriting: "the body remembers what the mind forgets - let your breath guide you home."

Hi! I’m Kirstie

I'm a New York-based breathwork facilitator combining sound and breath to guide you back to your innate wisdom.

My journey back to myself started when a mixture of unaddressed childhood trauma and many years working in chaotic fashion environments led to a point where I could no longer ignore my dysregulated nervous system. I felt disconnected and lost. Some modalities that help me return to myself include breathwork, meditation, integrative nutrition, Ayurveda, plant medicine, and conscious dance. My experiences in silent Vipassana Meditation courses have helped deepen my felt sense awareness and understanding of the subtle relationship between breath and presence, which informs my embodied approach as a facilitator. Eliminating certain distractions, like alcohol, from my life has helped create the clarity needed to fully engage with these healing practices. Through breathwork, I discovered that the grounding I was searching for externally was available within my own breath—I just needed to be present enough to access it.

I approach this work as both a student and guide, honoring vulnerability and building community through shared breath. This isn’t just about breathing techniques, it’s about showing up for each part of yourself and remembering who you really are.

Testimonials

“I came in with only a surface understanding of breathwork, mostly through yoga and meditation. Lately I’ve been looking for more somatic ways to support deeper healing, and this session with Kirstie opened a door. I left with a quiet, grounded clarity that’s still unfolding. Kirstie brings depth and care to the process. She creates a space that feels personal, intentional, and deeply human. Allowing for the discovery of an inner ether I didn’t know existed and hadn’t accessed before. Truly grateful.”

- Anthony, Creative Director
“I had the privilege of attending a breathwork session led by Kirstie, and it was a deeply moving and restorative experience. There was a sense of safety and gentle presence in the space—something that felt both grounding and expansive at once. Kirstie holds space with a soft, nurturing feminine energy that invites you to fully let go, to feel, and to trust the process. Her guidance was intuitive, allowing us to journey inward at our own pace. What elevated the session even more was her thoughtful choice of music. It was perfectly curated—subtle yet powerful, and beautifully attuned to the emotional arc of the practice. By the end of the session, I felt lighter, more connected to myself, and incredibly grateful.”

- Nikolina, Contemporary Artist
"Working with Kirstie was a real joy! It was my first breath work session and she was a fantastic guide. Kirstie approaches her work with curiosity and skill, so I felt like I was on an unknown adventure yet also in very safe hands. The work itself was incredibly powerful - It was a really welcome opportunity to connect with my body and my mind in a way that I’ve not experienced before. The effects really stayed with me and I’m excited to continue the journey!"

- Nick, Director and Writer
“Kirstie's breathwork session was a truly nourishing experience. From the moment I stepped into the space I felt warm and safe, where every detail—a beautiful altar, candles, palo santo, essential oil sprays, and eye masks—was thoughtfully curated to support deep vulnerability. The breathwork and music were incredibly powerful. I experienced a profound physiological response and unlocked intuitive insights within myself. I left feeling energized and more grounded, and overnight, my heart rate variability was 66% higher than usual, reflecting the impact of this session on my nervous system. I can't wait to practice again!"

- Jenni, Acupuncture Student
"Kirstie is an amazing guide! Our team has booked sessions with her both online and in-person, and we have all benefitted greatly. She has introduced us to the world of breathwork and we have had insightful experiences that go deeper and improve each time. The sessions are powerful on a personal level, and the integration and sharing really strengthens our team dynamic. We look forward to the next team journey!"

“I had a 1:1 breathwork session with Kirstie, and it was deeply grounding. I came in with little knowledge of breathwork, so she guided me through the process. Her voice, energy, and presence created an intentional, safe space that allowed me to let go and reconnect with myself. She helped me understand the complexities of breathing and its significance in controlling our bodies, letting go of stress, or more so, managing it so that what needs to happen can flow. I am so grateful for the space she held and the peace I carried with me after. I highly recommend her work to anyone looking to explore breath as a tool for healing and presence.”

- Nashua, E-Commerce Manager
“When I joined Kirstie's breath work session, the room was beautifully set up with calming lighting, blankets, and eye masks. Kirstie created connection by having everyone share a worry, then clearly explained the breathing techniques we'd use throughout the session. She aligned each breathing exercise with corresponding music, creating a truly holistic experience. The group discussion at the end was meaningful and gave me a lot to reflect on. After the session I felt deeply relaxed and recharged. Over the next few days, my sleep quality improved significantly and my stress levels dropped. I also found myself processing unaddressed emotions from my past. Overall, I had an amazing experience and felt comfortable and safe throughout. I can't wait for the next one.”
