About
Christopher Thier
A grounded path back to yourself.
I’m Christopher Thier, a breathwork and Reiki practitioner in Bend, Oregon. I support people navigating stress, transition, disconnection, and meaningful change through compassionate, consent-based practices.
Finding My Way Home
For much of my life, I carried a quiet sense of unworthiness and disconnection. As a father and U.S. Coast Guard veteran, I learned how to keep moving forward, even when I felt far from myself.
Breathwork became a turning point. At 48, during a breathwork experience, I said, “I love myself.” What changed me was not simply saying the words, but realizing I could finally feel them.
That experience led me to explore the relationship between breath, body, awareness, and healing. It eventually became the foundation for Confluence Breath & Bodywork. I call my approach The Confluence Return — guiding you to arrive, release, and return to yourself.
How I work with you
You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. My role is to create a steady, respectful space where you can slow down, listen inward, and discover what support looks like for you.
Sessions are guided with care, consent, and flexibility. We work at a pace that respects your nervous system, with room for rest, reflection, and integration.
Mission
A space for reconnection
Confluence Breath & Bodywork exists to support people in reconnecting with themselves, through breath, body awareness, and restorative practice.
I offer Conscious Connected Breathwork, Functional Breathwork, and Reiki to support stress regulation, emotional resilience, nervous-system balance, and a greater sense of presence.
Every session is consent-based and adapted to your individual needs. You remain in control throughout the experience.
Training & experience
My work is informed by training in:
- Conscious Connected Breathwork
- Functional Breathwork
- Reiki Levels I and II
- 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training
- Experience as a U.S. Coast Guard veteran
These experiences shape an approach that is grounded, practical, compassionate, and focused on your whole experience.
Community & giving
Rooted in community
I’m committed to making breathwork more accessible to veterans and those who may benefit from supportive, restorative practices.
