About TakeABreath
Breathing Life Into Communities, For Over a Decade
Founded by Natalia in 2021, TakeABreath is more than a program—it's a movement. Natalia's journey began at home, helping her own children learn to regulate their bodies through breathing techniques. Today, she brings that same passion to schools, communities, and city-wide initiatives. Whether in the classroom, at city events, or with parents in times of trauma, Natalia provides powerful tools to help people take control of their breath, heal, and thrive.

"What you are leaving with are tools to regulate your body so that you can get through difficult times in your life." – Natalia, Founder & Breathing Coach
What We Offer
Scope Our Impact
Take A Breath provides services that range from educational programs for children to community healing circles. Here’s how you can use us:
Breathing Coaching in Schools
Natalia is the Breathing Coach for school districts across Twin Cities. She facilitates lessons teaching the biology of stress and the power of breath for Staff and Kids. Her Drop Everything And Breathe videos are now part of the social-emotional curriculum. From the Take A Breath Corner to 6-week mind-body-medicine groups, she provides vital resources for children, parents, and educators.
Community Healing Circles
When trauma affects the community, Take A Breath steps in. Natalia leads healing circles to create space for processing grief and trauma, whether it’s a community impacted by tragedy or families in need of support. In partnership with the City of Saint Paul, these circles provide a place to breathe, heal, and move forward together.
Safe Summer Nights
As part of the Office of Neighborhood Safety, Natalia brings breathing techniques to the streets of Saint Paul. Teaching adults and kids simple yet powerful methods like "Smell the Rose, Blow Out the Candle," she helps people understand that trauma lives in the body—and can be released through breath.

Meet Natalia - Founder of TakeABreath
Natalia Davis is a Breathing Coach, mindfulness advocate, and the visionary founder of TakeABreath. With over a decade of experience, she has dedicated her life to helping individuals and communities regulate their bodies and find peace through simple, effective breathing techniques.
What started in her own home with her children has since grown into a transformative program, inspiring the

Her influence spans schools, where she integrates breathing techniques into social and emotional curricula, to Healing Circles
that support communities recovering from trauma. As a
