About Breath Ambassadors
We don’t just help you breathe,we help you come back to life!
Breath Ambassadors isn’t just a studio; it’s a movement born from a personal journey from trauma to healing. We exist to guide you through your own transformation using one of the most powerful tools we all share: the breath.
We are proud to be the 1st and only dedicated 9D Breathwork studio in Michigan and the surrounding states. Since opening in October 2024, our community has grown as a judgment-free, deeply connected space where people don’t just breathe beside each other...they rise together.
Our approach is science-backed and proven to create measurable change in the body and mind. We believe in educating our clients every step of the way, helping them understand exactly why and how what we do works on a physiological level, so they can feel empowered in their own healing.
MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Amy Davenport
Breath Ambassadors wasn’t created because I had a great business idea. It was born because I survived—barely—and finally found something that helped me heal when nothing else could. I opened this studio so no one else would have to feel as alone as I did in their pain.
I know what it’s like to carry trauma in your body for decades. In my 30s, I was a successful sales leader by day and silently drowning in high-functioning alcoholism at night. It wasn’t until I checked myself into a 30-day residential rehab program that I discovered breathwork…and everything changed. Out of all the therapies I was offered, it was breathwork that gave me what I truly needed: a way to release what I couldn’t explain.
If you’ve ever felt like no one could possibly understand what you’re going through, I want you to know… you are not alone here. The space we’ve created is trauma-informed, judgment-free, and filled with compassion. You don’t need to talk about your pain to begin releasing it. Here, we breathe through it. We let go of what no longer belongs. We rise.
