Brit Calixterio

Brit wears many hats: she’s a mom, a wife, a mentor to women, and a breathwork practitioner. But the role that ties it all together for her is being a “space holder.”

Being a space holder means something deeply personal to Brit—it’s about embracing people in their most vulnerable moments, supporting them through tears, anger, grief, and sadness. It’s about offering a hand to hold and saying, “I see you. Your feelings are valid.” For Brit, holding this space isn’t just about being there in tough times; it’s about helping people bloom and flourish. And she believes that breathwork is a powerful tool for exactly that. Breathwork might sound mysterious if you’ve never tried it, but Brit sees it as tapping into something we all have within us. Our breath is like having a secret superpower that has the potential to help us in so many ways—physically, emotionally, spiritually—once we learn to harness it.

She likes to think of it like this: “To embrace unconditionally, instead of resist, is the key to integration.” It’s about breathing in to expand ourselves, and breathing out to let go—to surrender.
