When you're a therapist, breathwork isn't just another tool—it's the difference between talk therapy and transformation.

Claire Calfo was midway through grad school, teaching Pilates in a disembodied way, feeling lost. Then AOB came into her life through a friend's recommendation, and everything shifted. In this conversation, she shares how breathwork became the throughline connecting her work as a therapist, movement facilitator, and retreat leader—and why therapists especially need this training.

You'll hear:

• Why an unregulated therapist cannot hold space for dysregulated clients
• How breathwork creates a powerful before-and-after ritual in therapy sessions
• The retreat moment when a mom who hadn't cried in 10 years broke open during a breath journey
• What shocked her most about AOB (hint: the deep female friendships and accountability)
• The permission framework that helped her share authentically online

Perfect for: Therapists, counselors, somatic practitioners, anyone in the helping professions who knows talk therapy needs a body-based complement.
