LOUISVILLE, KY, February 19, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cielo M. Stein, MBA, has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Cielo Stein is the visionary founder of CIELO Breathwork, a holistic wellness studio based in Louisville, Kentucky. With a mission to bring transformative breathwork experiences to individuals seeking mental, physical, and spiritual healing, Cielo's studio is recognized for its unique integration of ceremonial-grade cacao, Reiki energy healing, drumming, healing frequencies, sound healing, and essential oils. This multi-sensory approach combines all the senses to create a deeply immersive and rejuvenating experience, offering participants an elevated journey of self-discovery and healing.

Cielo's journey into breathwork began after a profound spiritual awakening, which led her from a corporate career to discovering the power of breath as a tool for self-healing. Her last position in the pharmaceutical industry was focused on addiction and recovery, where she earned the prestigious President's Club Award in 2022 for her outstanding work. Prior to that, she worked in the Central Nervous System (CNS) space, further deepening her connection to the mental health community. Through these experiences, Cielo witnessed the critical need for holistic alternatives to traditional medication-based treatments. While she believes in meeting people where they are—including the importance of medication when necessary—she advocates for holistic approaches that guide individuals to safely and healthily feel their emotions, rather than continuously numbing them.

In 2024, Cielo opened CIELO Breathwork, offering services such as group sessions, 1:1 private sessions, corporate wellness programs, and virtual breathwork events. Her work now focuses on providing transformative, holistic mental health alternatives that address the whole person. Continuously growing, Cielo plans to launch Cielo Breathwork Therapy in 2025, which offers a unique and transformative therapy empowering individuals to harness the innate power of their breath to manage emotions and foster healing.

Cielo's professional trajectory is diverse, and her experience in the pharmaceutical industry gave her a strong foundation in leadership, business strategy, and client relationship management. In 2024, she was selected for The Blox season 18, a reality show focused on entrepreneurship. Her dynamic presence on the show highlighted her innovative approach and entrepreneurial spirit, further amplifying her influence in the wellness industry.

Cielo has also been recognized by the Women's Business Center of Kentucky as a "Woman to Watch," highlighting her leadership in the wellness field and her commitment to empowering other women entrepreneurs. This recognition underscores her impact in the community, where she serves as an example of resilience, dedication, and compassion in business.

In addition to her work with CIELO Breathwork, Cielo is an active thought leader in the wellness community. In 2024, she was a panelist at the Show Up Summit in Louisville under the "Showing Up for Yourself" category and was a featured speaker at the Louisville LIGHT Coalition, which promotes improved mental wellbeing throughout Jefferson County.

As part of her continuous drive to serve the community, Cielo hosted the very first 11:11 Event in Louisville, an unprecedented gathering designed to raise the collective vibration of the community through mindfulness and shared connection. This event brought people together for healing and alignment, with part of the proceeds going towards building a meditation room in the Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition's community lounge, offering a peaceful space for individuals to relax and recharge.

Cielo's dedication to wellness extends beyond business; she is involved in community service, offering pro bono breathwork sessions through the Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition, M.O.M.S. Louisville (Mothers of Murdered Sons), and supporting causes such as the Walk to End Alzheimer's, Tip It Forward, and many others. She continues to be a passionate advocate for holistic mental health solutions, especially for those affected by addiction.

Her educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Louisville and an MBA from Bellarmine University, where she honed her expertise in business management. This, coupled with her passion for wellness, led her to combine healing practices with professional acumen to create CIELO Breathwork. Cielo is committed to making breathwork accessible to all, offering donation-based community classes to reach a broader demographic, and working with local behavioral health professionals to promote mental well-being through alternative healing.

Cielo Stein has been chosen to present at the International Harm Reduction Conference in Bogotá, Colombia, in April 2025. This monumental opportunity highlights the transformative power of breathwork as a mental health tool, focusing on how conscious breathing can be integrated into harm reduction spaces to support emotional resilience and recovery. At the conference, Cielo will lead a wellness session showcasing breathwork's ability to promote healing and regulate the nervous system, offering practical tools for harm reduction initiatives.

This global platform represents a significant milestone for Cielo Breathwork, further demonstrating Cielo's commitment to making holistic healing practices accessible to diverse communities.
