Breathe. Eddie Pabon, breathwork coach. Sessions in New York City and online
Real work. Real people. Wherever you are.
"Something shifted inside me."
Breathwork participant
I'm Eddie.
I have more than 20 years of clinical experience in care coordination, working across interdisciplinary teams. I'm a certified breathwork coach and certified coach who also guides meditation, and a published author. My work at Mind Calm Well is holistic and educational: breathing and meditation practice.
I've sat with people on rooftops, riverbanks, and snow-covered cliffs. None of it matters unless it actually helps you.
I also build. An arcade game for Android, the PRACTICE deck and this website all started as ideas I wanted to see in the world. Now I make apps, websites and simple tools for people and small businesses, the same way I’ve done the care work for more than 20 years: listen first, then build what actually helps.
No fancy lingo. No perfect conditions. Just real work with real people, wherever they are.
Where I can
meet you
Breathwork Sessions
Guided breathwork in an intimate setting: candles, mats, music. Your body may respond in ways you don't expect, and you can ease off at any time.
Outdoor Experiences
Mountains, trails, frozen lakes in winter. We get out of our heads by getting out of our buildings. Fresh air does a lot of the work.
1-on-1 Coaching
One-on-one coaching for what comes next: your goals, your daily routines, your next chapter. We take it one session at a time, together.
This is what
it looks like
You don't need
to be ready.
Most people show up not knowing what to expect. That's fine. You don't need experience. You don't need to be spiritual. You just need to show up and be willing to breathe.
I've worked with cops, nurses, teachers, moms, people fresh out of therapy, people who've never tried therapy. Real people carrying real weight.
This work meets you exactly where you are.
"You are held."

Here's what they told us.
Individual experiences, shared with permission. Every session feels different, and some people notice only mild effects. Breathwork is not a substitute for therapy or medical care.

“It felt magickal.”
Jeff G. · Sonic Neural BreathworkWhat to expect
Do I need experience with breathwork?
None. Every session is designed to meet you where you are. Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, we start from your baseline and work from there.
What should I expect to feel during a session?
It varies. Some people feel a deep calm. Others feel emotion come up: crying, laughing, shaking. These are common, and you can slow down or stop at any time. Tell me right away if you feel chest pain, faintness or anything that worries you.
How do I prepare?
Eat light beforehand. Wear comfortable clothes. Skip alcohol and recreational drugs that day. Come with an open mind and zero agenda. That's it.
Is breathwork right for everyone?
Not for everyone. This style uses fast, deep breathing, which can cause dizziness, tingling, muscle cramping and strong emotions, and in rare cases can trigger fainting, a seizure, or a heart or breathing problem.
Please get your doctor's OK before booking if you:
- are pregnant
- have heart disease or high blood pressure
- have a history of seizures, stroke or aneurysm
- have glaucoma or a detached retina
- have had recent surgery or an injury
- have asthma or another breathing condition
- live with a serious mental health condition such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, severe PTSD or panic disorder
Everyone completes a private health screening before a breathwork session. I'm not a medical provider and can't give medical clearance.
What happens after I get in touch?
I reply personally, usually within 24 hours, or we talk on your free 15-minute call. If we decide to work together, I confirm the details in writing: online or in person, the time, and any fee. Nothing is paid on this website. Before any breathwork session, I send you a short session agreement and a private health screening, and everything you need to prepare.
You showed up.
Let’s begin.
The simplest way to start is a free 15-minute call with me. We talk about what you’re looking for, online or in person, and whether working together feels right. No cost, no obligation.

The Son Will Rise
In December
A raw, unflinching account of survival, transformation, and what it really takes to rise. Written from the inside out: no filters, no sugarcoating. Just truth.
What is great about this book is how raw and honest it feels while you’re reading Eddie’s story. What makes it so powerful isn’t just the heartbreak—it’s the hope. Page after page, you witness a boy navigating a world stacked against him, and somehow, rising above it with remarkable strength and heart. Pabon’s vulnerability becomes his superpower—this is not just a memoir, it’s a testament to the human spirit.
Eddie’s account skillfully glided from one harrowing childhood experience to another as if the events happened to someone else—and even though it was painful for the reader, you can’t stop. Never again will I question the human soul to wrestle with even the worst of circumstances and come out victorious after reading Eddie’s story—and neither should you.
It is rare that I find a book I finish in one to two sittings. I was amazed, shocked, terrified, elated, disgusted, ecstatic, happy, baffled, sad, and proud. This book led me through the full spectrum of emotions—the complete human experience. Anyone who has been where you have to arrive where you are is strong enough to carry any dream to reality.
I can’t say enough about this book. The story is so compelling you don’t wanna put it down. What I really learned from Eddie’s story is that you should never take anything for granted and that although tomorrow is never promised, you should always look forward to it. Thank you Eddie for helping us see life through your eyes.
Reading this was a ride on tracks of heaven and hell. It will make you wonder how anyone can still smile and enjoy life after going through what Eddie has experienced, but he will show you how. It reminds me that you never can tell what someone may have endured before you met them as they enjoy life in front of your eyes.
I admired his honesty and courageous demeanor despite his adversities. I’d recommend all young folks dealing with life’s challenges to read this book for inspiration and encouragement.
I am all about great stories and inspirational books and this book is both. I absolutely love the author—his honesty is so raw and transparent.
