Meet Dr. Mia Lilith Curcuruto, D.C.
​Founder of Breathe Health Center | Chiropractor | Reichian Therapist | Revolutionary Healer
“Breathe. Scream. Yell. Cry. F*ck. Repeat.”
​
That’s not just a mantra—it’s a way of life for Dr. Mia Curcuruto, the radical force behind Breathe Health Center. With 24 years in private practice and a lifetime in holistic healing, she is a bold, no-BS guide for those ready to feel everything, heal everything, and truly live their cure.
​
Born to Heal—Built to Fight
​
Dr. Mia comes from a line of healers that began in 1927 when her father, Dr. Philip Curcuruto, graduated from chiropractic college in New York. A pioneer of Reichian therapy on the West Coast, he blended spinal adjustment with breath, emotional release, and the raw honesty of embodiment. Mia was raised in this world—where fevers were treated with homeopathy, tantrums with breathwork, and discomfort was never something to numb but something to feel and move through.
​
The Healer Gets Broken—Then Reborn
​
At 40, in the middle of her thriving practice, Dr. Mia was diagnosed with idiopathic adult-onset epilepsy. Her seizures could last up to 20 minutes—earthquakes in her own body. In 2020, she had a stroke. Then came spinal surgery and a titanium cage in her neck. “I’m part bionic now,” she jokes, but the truth is: those years cracked her wide open. She was no longer the doctor—she was the patient, in a system she had never trusted. And yet, she survived.
Not by abandoning her roots—but by evolving them.
​
Not Fit (Yet)—But Fiercely Alive
​
Dr. Mia is the first to admit: she’s still reclaiming her body. After years of fighting for her life, fitness isn’t a destination—it’s a process. And she’s walking that path now, imperfect and proud. Her patients love her not because she’s some sanitized image of health—but because she’s real. They see her showing up for herself, sweaty, breathless, and honest—and it gives them permission to do the same.
​
Living Your Cure
​
At Breathe Health Center, the philosophy is simple:
You are not broken. You are armored.
Your pain isn’t a problem—it’s a message. Your body is not betraying you—it’s begging you to listen.
That’s where Dr. Mia comes in.
She helps you align your spine, unbind your breath, and reclaim the parts of yourself that went silent.
Her method is raw, refined, and radically embodied. One minute she’s giving a world-class adjustment, the next she’s guiding you through cathartic breathwork that makes you howl, shake, and sob—and walk out lighter than you’ve felt in years.
​
Structure Dictates Function. Breath Dictates Freedom.
​
If your body is out of alignment, your life will be too. Dr. Mia treats structure to restore function—but she also addresses the emotional blocks and energetic noise keeping you stuck. Chiropractic care, breath work together is breakthrough healthcare. Real healing that happens when you stop pretending and start participating.
​
Breathe Health Center Is Not for Everyone

She’s going to help you live your cure.
