Amy Davenport - Breath Ambassadors

Amy is the founder of Breath Ambassadors, a trauma-informed nervous system and subconscious reprogramming studio in Lake Orion, Michigan. After 22 years in life and business coaching, she noticed a consistent truth. Most people don’t stay stuck because they lack motivation or discipline. They stay stuck because their nervous system is running the show, and the body hasn’t been given the right conditions to do what it already knows how to do.

Amy helps people shift out of stress mode using science-backed breathwork and immersive 9D technology that supports regulation, emotional release, and real integration. She is a certified 9D Breathwork Facilitator, trained in breathwork under Dan Brulé and Brian Kelly, holds Trauma-Informed and Embodied Processing Certifications from The Centre for Healing, and is Mindfulness Certified through Yoga Renew. Her work is built for the person who has tried “everything” and is ready to feel the difference, not just understand it.
