Founder & CEO
Tony Gines
What began as a personal health crisis in 2002 became a defining turning point for Tony Gines. After facing serious illness, he made a life-changing decision to reclaim his health through holistic healing—choosing to work with the body, not against it. That commitment didn’t just restore his well-being; it inspired a greater purpose.
Tony went on to found The Breath of Life with a mission to help others move beyond symptom management and rediscover true, lasting wellness. Over time, his vision grew into a family-centered practice built on compassion, education, and a genuine desire to empower others on their healing journey.
As a nationally recognized licensed spiritual healer, with certifications in essential oils and the Raindrop Technique, Tony brings together experience, intuition, and a deep understanding of natural health. Today, his mission continues—to serve, educate, and guide others back to a healthier, more balanced life from within.

Board Certified Nutritionist
Matt Gines
With over 12 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, they are a holistic, board-certified Nutritionist dedicated to helping clients achieve meaningful, lasting results. Their approach is grounded in the belief that true transformation doesn’t come from shortcuts, but from consistent effort, guidance, and support.
They emphasize the power of accountability as a key driver of success—because real progress rarely happens in isolation. Just like in school, where preparation came from knowing you’d be called on, having a coach or accountability partner creates focus, commitment, and follow-through. Their philosophy is simple: good intentions alone don’t create results, but with the right support system, lasting change becomes achievable.
