Hi, I’m Heidi Tacktill. For over twenty years, I’ve supported individuals in reaching their highest potential—first as a learning specialist and now as an energy and breathwork practitioner. I earned my Master’s in Mental Health, but along the way, I hadn’t yet found the modalities I was meant to bring to the world. When I discovered breathwork and energy healing, everything shifted. 

I realized I had been living in a constant state of fight or flight, unable to fully experience the beautiful and blessed life I had. As I began working with my breath and exploring other energetic practices, I was able to reconnect with my body and shift from simply surviving to truly living and feeling safe within myself. I also came to understand that the goal isn’t to be calm all the time—it’s to experience life fully, to feel it all without being consumed by it, and to be able to respond instead of react. 

Through breathwork journeys and energy work, I peeled back the layers of old patterns and emotions, and through daily practices, I continue to build regulation and resilience. This is a practice—one I’m deeply committed to for myself and one I feel called to share with others. 

At Breathe Bethesda, I guide people through breathwork, sound healing, and energy work to help them release stored stress, reconnect with their body’s wisdom, and step into greater ease, presence, and self-trust. I believe that healing is not about fixing—it’s about remembering who you are and allowing yourself the space to return home to yourself. If you're ready to explore this journey, I’d love to support you.
