Episode From Combat Medic to Breathwork Healer: Gyovany Munoz on Healing Trauma and Reclaiming Purpose & Joy
What if the very breath you take could be the key to healing and transformation?
In this episode of Sunday SoulDay, we welcome Gyovany—a certified Breathwork facilitator, martial artist, and former U.S. Army Combat Medic whose journey from military life and corporate burnout to deep personal healing is nothing short of extraordinary.
After navigating anxiety, depression, and surviving multiple suicide attempts, Gyovany discovered the transformational power of breath, somatic practices, and movement. Today, he blends Breathwork, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, dance, and martial arts to help people reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and create lives rooted in peace, joy, and alignment.
