Briana is a multi-certified somatic guide, breathwork facilitator, and holistic hair artist with 13 years of experience. Briana's career in the beauty industry has been packed with success.

She has owned salons and received many accolades for her work, such as, Beauty Launchpad’s 30 Under 30 and Colorado Hairstylist of the Year. Her salon, Oracle, also earned 303 Magazine's Salon of the Year, 2017 -2018. In 2021, the nonstop pace of her career & a transformative break up led Briana to close her salon in Denver & head for the Pacific Northwest to pursue personal healing and growth.
Briana’s healing journey began through breathwork and trauma-informed somatic practices, which inspired her to offer 1:1 somatic sessions and intimate breathwork events. Rooted in nature-based animism, she bridges the physical, emotional, and spiritual to create transformative experiences that honor the body’s wisdom. In 2023, Briana returned to Colorado to reconnect with family and re-enter the beauty industry in a way that aligns with her values.
