Trish Leichty, MD
Former Medical Doctor, Author, Certified Breathwork Facilitator, Astrologer & Holistic Healing Coach
In addition to the joy I get from being a wife, mom and grandma, I love guiding people in healing their own body and mind so they can live in more peace, freedom, and joy.
Where we came from & where we’re going… in a nutshell.
Breath and Body School was originally founded by two women who wanted to shake up the system. Trish and Katie wanted to bring a more feminine perspective to modalities that have previously been taught with very masculine approaches — offering little room for play, creativity, or curiosity. Many of the current Breathwork and Yoga Teacher Trainings also bypass much of the deep healing and self-inquiry work one needs to do in order to be able to hold space for others to do the same. As they say— you can only meet another person, as deeply as you’ve met yourSELF.
Trish and Katie wanted to guide their students through a process that would act as a catalyst for growth and reconnection to all parts of their body and their felt senses. With a trauma-informed yet science-based approach, the curriculum they’ve designed still allows space for intuition and authenticity to flourish in our program’s graduates.
A recent development…
Trish will be stepping away from Breath and Body School at the end of 2024 as she moves towards other endeavors that light up her soul. Katie Schiffgen will continue as the sole owner and operator of Breath and Body School as of January 2025. She will continue to run trainings in Salt Lake City, UT.
Both Trish and Katie continue to pursue their own individual dreams and creative visions, and support one in another in doing so! Breath and Body School wishes Trish nothing but the best in whatever her next chapter looks like and we will forever hold gratitude in our hearts for this amazing vision that was birthed into reality, largely, thanks to her.
THANK YOU TRISH. WE ACKNOWLEDGE, HONOR, AND LOVE YOU ALWAYS.
