Rea Hix, COO
In Rea's former 20-year career, she managed corporate employee wellness and well-being/morale-building programs at a Columbus-based insurance company, where she inspired and empowered colleagues to take ownership of their health.
Rea’s personal journey of transformation began with a focus on physical health and gradually evolved into a passion for whole-person well-being. Over the years, she has embraced the power of aligning body, mind, and spirit—and now supports others in doing the same through her grounded, compassionate presence.
Rea is a Certified Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise, a DoTERRA Wellness Advocate, and a graduate of the Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator Certification through Breathworx614. This trauma-informed training equips her with the skills to safely and effectively support clients in nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and embodied healing using conscious breathwork. Her professional approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and an unwavering commitment to creating safe spaces for transformation.

Tristan Hoadley
Hello all! I am grateful to have experienced internship at Breathworx614! Throughout this internship, I obtained my Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Before interning at Breathworx614, I gained experience observing therapy sessions, conducting narrative therapy exercises with clients, and was additionally a part of a grassroots movement aiming to create a recreation/leisure program for the Blind community of Wayne County. In my free time, I enjoy walking in nature, making music and playing with my two dogs!
On a more personal note, I have been deeply impacted by the power of mindfulness and introspection and have experienced the benefits of breathwork first-hand. I knew that this internship would be a great opportunity for me to further my own knowledge and skills relative to breathwork in light of promoting well-being for all!
