meet the breathe team.
Jamie Cole
co-founder + chief breather
Throughout her career, Jamie has been guided by a deep commitment to helping people and organizations realize their fullest potential. She believes true growth—personal or professional—begins when we acknowledge our mortality and choose to live and lead with intention and authenticity.
With more than 30 years of experience across aesthetics, retail grocery, wellness, pharmaceuticals, consumer packaged goods, sports marketing, and residential summer camps, Jamie brings a rare breadth of perspective and strategic insight to her work.
​
Most recently, Jamie acquired Skin Deep, a medical spa in Strongsville, Ohio, dedicated to helping individuals look and feel their best—supporting beauty that is skin deep and beyond.
​
Previously, Jamie and her husband, David, along with longtime camp friends Richard “Woody” Woodstein and David "Sol" Solomon, owned and operated Camp Robin Hood for 11 years. During her tenure, Jamie led a comprehensive rebrand, implemented modern backend systems, oversaw operations and communications, and helped more than double camper enrollment—from 190 to over 440.
​
Among her most meaningful accomplishments is the creation of breathe in 2011, a women’s health retreat designed to bring inspiring women together for a restorative weekend of connection, reflection, and renewal. Jamie believes that when women connect authentically, they don’t just recharge—they elevate one another in lasting and powerful ways.
If you’d like, I can make this more executive, more spiritual, or shorter for a website bio versus a speaking or leadership profile.
Lynne Tapper
co-founder + chief activity coach
As a lifelong endurance athlete with the dual goal of training and racing until her bones turn to dust, Lynne relishes sharing that passion with everyone she meets. Lynne has spent over three decades learning about training, recovery, and nutrition.
This zeal and dedication manifested itself in almost every professional endeavor from the Women’s Sports Foundation, ABC Sports and ESPN and Oxygen Media. More recently, Lynne shared her passion for triathlons as a coach and co-founder of Team Training New England, a regional triathlon training program for beginners. Later, Lynne became the co-founder of Imagine Float, a boutique floatation and wellness center offering float therapy, cryotherapy, infrared sauna, compression therapy and other recovery and wellness modalities.
Through it all, Lynne has used her unique skills of organization and the ability to see the big picture to help bring a project or passion to completion. With breathe, Lynne has enjoyed the opportunity to bring a group of women together over a long-weekend to eat, ride, hike and play. The connections made have transcended over the years which is the greatest validation of this special retreat.
Tami Schneider
chief yogi
Tami Schneider has been a leader in the yoga industry for over two decades. She founded Cleveland Yoga in 2003 and has trained thousands of teachers locally and around the world—from Cleveland to Kenya, Mexico to Canada. As a 1000-Hour Certified Baptiste Senior Teacher, she’s known for creating powerful, accessible, and soul-stirring practices that meet people exactly where they are.
​
After stepping away from studio ownership in 2025, Tami stepped into her next chapter—dedicated to mentoring, teaching from lived experience, and creating programs that empower others to lead with clarity, confidence, and resilience.
​
Tami believes aging is not something to resist—it’s something to redefine. Her teaching blends movement, breath, and real talk, grounded in the belief that strength is found not in pretending we have it all together—but in showing up as we are, fully and unapologetically.
​
When she’s not leading, you’ll likely find her walking the trails with her dog Cora, sipping coffee in the morning and the occasional Tito’s at night, still rewriting the rulebook on what leadership—and aging gracefully—can look like.
