Two women, two healing journeys, one shared vision to create the safe, life-saving community that once held us.
Our Founders
Brielle Brasil
Brielle is a master breathwork facilitator, with additional training in trauma resolution coaching and life coaching. Her work is born from lived experience, an intimate journey through trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-doubt that became the foundation for her calling: guiding others home to themselves.
Long before she had a business, Brielle carried childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder, seeking worthiness through achievement while feeling disconnected and unsafe. In 2015, therapy and trauma healing sparked real change, but it was a community (of safe, nonjudgmental circles of women) that truly saved her, teaching her the profound power of belonging.
In 2019, during a period of workplace abuse, breathwork became a catalyst for transformation and healing chronic anxiety. Through it, she released deep trauma, regulated her nervous system, shed shame, and reclaimed her voice. Later, navigating birth trauma, postpartum rage, weaning depression, and identity shifts in motherhood, breathwork and trauma-informed community supported her once again.
Today, Brielle brings this wisdom to her work as a masterful breathwork facilitator. Known for her deeply intuitive, trauma-informed presence, she helps people feel safe to let go, unravel, and heal. Through channeled word guidance, healing hands-on touch, and nervous system techniques, she creates space for the body to release what the mind has held onto for too long.
Brielle holds space for women through retreats, workshops, 1:1 journeys, and large-scale events, including festivals, guiding over 1,000 people across the globe to reconnect with their bodies, release trauma, and step into true freedom and authenticity.
As a momma of two toddlers, she has a deep passion for supporting mothers in releasing overwhelm and anxiety, reconnecting with their intuition, and stepping confidently into their power. Everything she teaches, she has lived.
The Lotus Collective is a continuation of her own healing journey and her commitment to creating the kind of safe, supportive, transformative community that once saved her life.

Tuscany McMahon
Tuscany is a compassionate RYT 200HR yoga instructor with a background in Psychology and Sociology. Her classes are deeply rooted in mental health awareness and nervous system support, creating a welcoming, inclusive space where people of all backgrounds can reconnect, reset, and feel truly seen. Her teaching weaves together mindful movement, breathwork, positive affirmations, and emotional presence offering a gentle invitation to come home to yourself.
Her yoga journey began over a decade ago during a season of profound grief, anxiety, and depression. At fifteen, Tuscany lost the grandparents who raised her just months apart and was moved to another state, losing her home, her safety, and her sense of belonging all at once. As a teenager, she struggled with panic attacks and depression, coping by disconnecting from her body in order to survive. She felt invisible and deeply alone. At eighteen, Tuscany stepped into a yoga studio for the first time and something shifted. She felt strong, brave, and seen. It was her first experience of connection without judgment, movement without shame, and healing without having to explain herself. Yoga became the lifeline she returned to through every season of life, and she stayed close to it however she could.
After surviving a near death car accident in her 20s, Tuscany made the decision to stop living in constant fight-or-flight. She committed to therapy, completed her degree in psychology and sociology, became a mother, and continued turning to yoga as her grounding force. Tuscany dealt with more loss, heartbreak, and grief but she refused to let life harden her. Instead, she went deeper into her practice. Yoga became the place she could breathe again. Teaching became healing in motion. Community became the thing that saved her again and again.
This is why Tuscany co-founded this studio. Because she knows what it feels like to have nowhere to turn. Because yoga is not just fitness it is a place for safety and connection. This space is built from her lived experience, education, trauma, healing, and unwavering belief that no one should have to carry their pain alone.
