About Soulful Breaths
Soulful Breaths was born from a profound journey of transformation—one that began with my own healing.
Breathwork became my gateway to freedom, guiding me through the layers of emotional weight, self-doubt, and old wounds that once held me back. As I explored different breathwork modalities, I uncovered something life-changing: the breath is not just a tool—it’s a bridge back to yourself.
With every intentional breath, I stepped deeper into a place of inner peace, clarity, and empowerment.
Now, I hold space for others to experience this same journey—to reconnect with their bodies, release emotional burdens, and rediscover the limitless strength, love, and wisdom within.
When I founded Soulful Breaths, my vision was clear—to create a safe space where healing isn’t just something you seek, but something you experience at the deepest level. A space where you are truly seen, held, and honored in your wholeness. A space where you can release, express, and breathe freely—without judgment —only with unconditional love.
Breathwork is not just the act of inhaling and exhaling; it is the bridge that unites every part of who you are—body, mind, and soul. Through Soulful Breaths, I invite you to step into this transformative journey, to listen deeply into the wisdom and intuition of your own heart and to reclaim the strength, clarity, and love that have been within you all along.
Meet Your Guide
Hello Beautiful Soul!
My name is Kristine Ruth Kuakini Rafanan. I am more than just a breathwork facilitator—I am a soulful guide, mentor, and space-holder for deep healing and transformation. My work weaves together breathwork, trauma-informed healing, and holistic wellness, helping you reconnect with yourself on all levels —body, mind, and soul.
I believe that true transformation begins from within. I have walked the path of self-discovery, healing, and growth— I have journeyed through deep trauma and emerged with greater faith, resilience, and inner strength than ever before.
Now, it is my mission to hold space for others on their journey—to help you reconnect with yourself, release what no longer serves you, and step into a life of alignment, freedom, and self-trust.
As an Intuitive Guide, Soulful Mentor, Breathwork Facilitator, and Trauma-Informed Practitioner, I create a safe and nurturing space for profound healing. Through breath, intuition, and embodied wisdom, I guide you beyond survival mode—helping you move through deep, transformational healing so you can awaken your inner healer, reclaim your inner freedom, and step fully into your most empowered, authentic self.
With over 10 years of experience in the fitness industry as a personal trainer and wellness coach, I understand that true healing is holistic—it’s not just about taking care of your physical body; it’s also about nurturing your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Through breathwork, wellness practices, and transformative tools, I guide you in building deep, lasting resilience that expands into every area of your life. But beyond breathwork, I provide practical, life-changing tools—ones that empower you to cultivate a loving, trusting relationship with yourself and bridge the gap between inner healing and real, tangible shifts in your everyday life.
More than anything, it is my mission to create a space where you feel completely safe, supported, and seen. I am deeply committed to honouring your pace, listening to your needs, and ensuring that every session is a space of trust, non-judgment, and deep care.
Through techniques like Integral Breath Therapy, conscious circular breath, and somatic breathwork, I guide you in uncovering and releasing the layers of emotional blockages stored within—so that you can finally feel deeply connected to your heart and soul.
I believe that healing is more than just walking through the shadows —it’s also about remembering your light. True transformation isn’t about escaping our struggles but embracing them as part of our evolution. As Carl Jung said, ‘No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.’ To truly heal, we must tend to both our light and our shadows, honoring the depth of our experiences so we can rise with greater wisdom, peace, and a profound sense of wholeness.
This soulful journey is about more than just healing and transformation—it’s about remembering who you truly are at your core. It’s about reclaiming the parts of yourself that bring you freedom, joy, and a deep sense of purpose—so you can live a life that feels whole, aligned, and deeply fulfilling.
Are you ready to break free and create a life that is fully aligned with your heart and soul?
You don’t have to do this alone. Your healing is a homecoming and I am honored to walk beside you on this journey to hold space for you, and guide you through this journey of deep healing and transformation.
If you feel called to this journey, let’s begin.
