Chris DePriest

Breathwork practitioner and President of Pura Vida Wellness Retreat Center in Yelapa, Mexico. Clarity and Holistic Breathwork Practitioner.

Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, he studied biology at Belmont University before beginning a nearly 20-year career on Wall Street as a Financial Advisor.

After facing addiction from an early age, he explored many treatment programs and approaches in an effort to live a “normal” life.

Over time, he found that real change required pain, honesty, openness, and a willingness to do the work.

He tried many “easier and softer ways,” but eventually created a strong path grounded in the twelve steps, breathwork, meditative inquiry, and sponsorship.

Today, he is honored to share his experience, strength, and hope at Pura Vida Wellness Retreat in Yelapa, Mexico.

It was there that he discovered the miracle of breathwork and experienced a transformational spiritual awakening.

As a Clarity and Holistic Breathwork Practitioner, he has witnessed many clients who felt spiritually stuck in their recovery programs emerge feeling connected and renewed.

He also managed a recovery residence for “A Design for Living” in Nashville, TN, and is available for recovery coaching with an emphasis on spiritual growth, breathwork sessions, self-love, and forgiveness of self and others.
