Breath & Branches exists at the intersection of breathwork, sacred ritual, and community. The work is intimate by design: small gatherings, 1:1 coaching, and group cohorts where every woman feels genuinely seen and supported. Nature is not a backdrop here. It is a teacher.
The brand was born from founder Gwen Gillespie Thibeaux’s own journey back to embodiment through running, breath, and the slow discovery that intentional daily ritual could be medicine. That understanding now lives at the center of everything Breath & Branches offers.
“Self-care is not a luxury layered on top of a full life. It is the foundation the full life is built on.”

“Self-care, for me, is not a luxury layered on top of a full life. It is the foundation the full life is built on. When the foundation is tended, everything above it holds.”
Bold Journey Magazine featured Gwen in a conversation about self-care as a sacred practice, the story behind Breath & Branches, the three qualities that shaped her journey, and who she most wants to serve. A grounded, personal read for anyone curious about the heart behind this work.

For audiences of high-achieving women who have learned to override their instincts in service of productivity. Explores how disconnection from the body is often the hidden cost of a full life, and how breath, movement, and simple daily rituals restore the inner signal we’ve been trained to ignore.
Practical and grounded for leadership audiences. Covers breathwork as a leadership tool: how regulating the nervous system before high-stakes moments changes outcomes. Includes accessible techniques participants can use immediately.
For women’s conferences, wellness summits, and organizational wellbeing events. Explores how small, intentional rituals rooted in breath and nature create sustainable resilience without adding to an already full plate. Practical, warm, and immediately actionable.
Designed for audiences navigating change: career pivots, life seasons, identity shifts. Brings breathwork and embodied reflection tools that help women find their footing when the ground is moving beneath them.
For equity-focused stages, nonprofit convenings, and public health forums. Addresses the systemic exclusion of women and femme communities from mainstream wellness, and what it looks like to build access to breathwork and somatic healing in places that need it most.
Breath & Branches was built on the belief that transformation doesn’t demand urgency. It asks for roots.
Breathwork is not a wellness trend. It is a return to the body’s most basic and most reliable wisdom.
Women, particularly women of color and those in underserved communities, deserve access to somatic healing practices — not as a luxury, but as a right.
Sacred ritual does not require a full life overhaul. It begins with a breath, an intention, and a willingness to slow down.
The Rooted Life Circle is intentionally small because transformation is intimate work, not a mass-market product.
