Chris DePriest

Breathwork practitioner and President of Pura Vida Wellness Retreat Center in Yelapa, Mexico. - Clarity and Holistic Breathwork Practitioner I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. After majoring in biology at Belmont University I began working on Wall Street in a career that spanned nearly 20 years as a Financial Advisor.Having battled addiction since a very early age, I have tried numerous treatment programs and modalities to live a “normal” life. Ultimately, I had to suffer through enough pain to become open-minded, honest, and willing to do the work necessary to change. I have tried many “easier and softer ways” but eventually built a solid program based upon the twelve steps, Breathwork, meditative inquiry and sponsorship.Currently, I have the honor of sharing my experience, strength and hope at Pura Vida Wellness Retreat in Yelapa, Mexico. It was here I discovered the miracle of Breathwork and where I experienced a transformational spiritual experience. I am a Clarity and Holistic Breathwork Practitioner. I have had the privilege to witness many of our clients spiritually stuck in their recovery programs emerge feeling connected and rejuvenated.I managed a recovery residence for “A Design for Living” in Nashville, TN, I am also available for recovery coaching with an emphasis on spiritual growth, Breath Work sessions, learning to love yourself and forgiveness of self and others.
