Be Free Center

If you are looking for skilled compassionate guides into the healing adventure of breathwork, Kristi and Blake Allen offer an incredible opportunity for personal change. I had tried different kinds of breathwork over the years but never stayed with it till I started doing Transformational Breath with the Allens. When it comes to my integrating this work in a consistent way, their skillful coaching, guidance, and abundant warmth have made all the difference. Intuitive and technically proficient, Blake and Kristi's co-facilitation of Transformational Breath is helping to gradually reshape my life from the ground up, where mind and body both begin: in the rhythm and shape of the breath. You can easily apply what you learn from them in your own independent breathing practice, which they are great at encouraging.
In addition, their Be Free Center, where I attended a weekend intensive, is permeated with beauty. The colors and materials of the architecture, the view of the water, the design and light of its many spaces, enhanced my capacity for being physically present and fully in my senses, a perfect complement to Transformational Breath itself. The Be Free Center is a blend of “sanctuary” and “home” – a space for sacred work, fellowship, and even fun. Later I was particularly struck by how the aesthetic of the Be Free Center matches the kindness and graceful style with which Blake and Kristi serve the well-being of others.

I just completed a weekend workshop at the Be Free Center. It shows from the very first time I met Blake and Kristi, they truly love and care about what they bring to each student. They loved and cared about all of us. Amazing quality. I always awaiting the next time.

Transformational Breath helped me release traumatic experiences, pain, resistance, and laziness. Now, those traumatic experiences have no power over me as if the memory had detached from all the negative emotions. I have more positive energy to perform during the day and I feel that I have more capacity to love.

The Be Free Center is such a peaceful, beautiful, and friendly place to be in. It's modern, clean, and organized. It's located by a lake in the middle of the woods. Absolutely fabulous scenery! I loved the lecture parts of the weekend seminar. Blake and Kristi explained the material in a very clear and organized manner. The examples they shared with the group were from real-life, which made the concepts and frameworks very understandable and relatable. It was great that the time schedule was flexible and not so stricked. All the meals were hand cooked and were absolutely delicious!!❤️

I recently participated in a Presence of Breath Workshop at the Be Free Center in Bellingham. It was a wonderful experience all around. Kristi and Blake are extraordinary facilitators of this work and just beautiful and radiant people - I felt cared for, supported, well fed and had an exquisite time. The center itself is gorgeous. I highly recommend the Be Free Center to anyone seeking healing, transformation or simply more nourishment and joy. Thank you Kristi and Blake!

I recently attended a Transformational Breathing workshop with Blake and Kristi at the Be Free Center, and I must say it was one of the most well-held experiences I've ever attended. The care and of these two beautiful people, both during the breathing sessions and throughout the entire weekend, was absolutely superlative. The support, knowledge, amazing food(!), and warm caring presence of these two is a thing to behold. I highly recommend Blake, Kristi, and the Be Free Center for any workshops, retreats or classes. Don't miss out on this experience. It's amazing!
