Chris and I talk about breathwork healing, astrology, and how those two things work so well together. A Southerner by birth and a New Yorker for the last two decades, Chris Phipps is a breathwork healer and astrologer, in addition to working in technology as a product developer and strategist. Emerging from a dark period of addiction in the mid-00s, Chris has spent the last 12 years studying multiple spiritual practices that have brought the version of himself that he currently sees in line with the same one Spirit and others see. A few years ago, breathwork emerged as one of the brightest of those spiritual practices. Chris recalls, "No other modality has made me so comfortable in my skin, so able to see myself and others around me authentically. It started as something I did with friends and soon became something I wanted to bring to other people so that their own self-reflections could match the experience I was having.”

Having been certified via the Healer Training instruction of David Elliott and Erin Telford, Chris now offers breathwork sessions, both solo and with his business partner, Stephen Roehler, to help people really uncover who they are. He also offers astrology readings that guide people through what blocks them and what is ultimately possible. He’s currently studying with astrologer Adam Sommer and will be certified within the next year.
