Meet Your Guides…
We’ve been walking this path of expansion side by side for almost 15 years—sisters in the dance of the soul. Over the years, we’ve laughed about how we’re never in contraction at the same time, so there’s always someone grounded enough to hold space for the other. Together, we’ve shared countless trainings, classes, and retreats—so many, we’ve lost track. And the experiences we’ve had on our own? Those have only deepened the wisdom we bring when we come together to co-create.
What we offer in these trainings doesn’t come from a textbook—it’s born from lived experience, from our own messy, beautiful humanity. We don’t pretend to have all the answers. In truth, we are still in the dance, always learning, always unlearning.Our intention is to create a space filled with information, embodiment practices, and invitations for you to explore. So you can move it through your own body and decide what resonates and what doesn’t. We hand you the tools, and from there—it becomes your art. Your alchemy. Your way.
Hi, I’m Cortney Chaite. My journey into healing began in 2012, when I followed a quiet but undeniable calling to support others in remembering who they are. What started as a path in health coaching evolved into something much deeper—an ever-unfolding devotion to the body, the breath, and the sacred intelligence that lives within us all.
Over the past decade, I’ve immersed myself in the worlds of Somatic Coaching, nervous system healing, energy work, and the transformative power of the breath. I hold two Breathwork Facilitator certifications, I’m a trained Microdosing Coach and Reiki Master, and my work is rooted in trauma-informed, body-based practices that honor both science and spirit. Whether I’m guiding someone through a breath journey, a somatic process, or a microdosing protocol, my intention is always the same: to create a space where people feel safe enough to soften, release, and remember their wholeness.
I’m passionate about mid-life as a portal for awakening. So many of the women I work with are navigating deep transitions—rediscovering themselves after decades of over-giving, over-performing, or simply surviving. I walk with them as they unravel conditioning, process old wounds, and reclaim their bodies, their truth, and their pleasure.
Alongside my dear sister Lola, I co-lead The Art of Breathwork—a facilitator training designed to ground you in your own embodiment while giving you the tools to hold space for others. Together, we weave sacred space for transformation, reclamation, and deep remembering.
I’m also a mother, a mystic, a guide, and a lifelong student of healing. I believe breath is a bridge back to self. I believe in the wisdom of the body, the power of presence, and the medicine of being fully met—just as you are.

Hi, I’m Lola Manekin! I fell in love with breathwork during a plant medicine retreat in Costa Rica in 2019, and it’s been a sacred thread in my work ever since. Since that awakening, I’ve immersed myself in the study of breath through classes, trainings, and workshops—both as a student and a facilitator. My background in Integrative Medicine, Chinese Medicine, and ancient Shamanic traditions spans over two decades. I’ve been blessed to study with master teachers and medicine carriers from around the world, and what I’ve found is that the breath is a universal gateway—it amplifies and anchors all healing modalities. It brings the unseen into form. It softens the body, awakens the soul, and restores the nervous system into its natural intelligence.
I am the founder of TRIBE Baltimore, a School of Embodied Arts that bridges movement, ritual, and healing through the lens of the Five Elements of Chinese Medicine. Alongside my dear sister Cortney, we offer weekly Breathwork sessions, facilitator trainings, and immersive experiences for those ready to deepen their connection to self and spirit.
I also hold space at Sacred Owl Retreat House in Sparks, Maryland, a sanctuary I steward as a home for ceremony, deep rest, and transformation. There, I offer Align Energetics, a private 3-hour healing session that blends Breathwork, specific Bodywork, and Energy Medicine—a deeply intuitive journey into alignment and remembrance.
More than anything, I am a woman walking the path of service. A mother. A mystic. A movement guide. A bridge between worlds. I believe in embodiment as a way of life, in breath as prayer, and in community as the medicine of a new Earth.
I’m honored to share all that I’ve gathered—and all that continues to move through me—with those who feel the call. You are so welcome here. My website is lolamanekin.com
