incorporatebreath-

Evidence-driven, 

empathy- led. 

HOw it started: consultant, athlete, coach and breathwork-instructor, but mainly tired

Hi, I am Stephie, a lawyer by training, former McKinsey consultant, ICF certified coach and breathwork trainer. I have been passionate about all things movement, mindfulness and personal development throughout my whole adult life. And yes, you could say I „should have seen the signs“ before going from always-on-fire, training before work and 14 hour workdays and loving it to: panic attacks, loss of purpose and hardly getting myself out of bed- but: I didn’t!

how it went: basing Breathwork on evidence

For me, overcoming the feelings of helplessness happened through understanding the physiological underpinnings of what was going with me.

This understanding, together with pre-existing knowledge about emotional and physiological effects of breathwork, led me to believe that there would be a chance to improve my symptoms with a structured approach to modulating my breathing.

I started analysing studies about the interconnection of the breath, resilience and emotions and based on that built an application to design structured, evidence-backed breath practices for my personal needs. 

The effects for me were noticeable quickly after- being able to control anxiety and panic on the spot while respecting it’s origins and overall return to a baseline where the default is not anxiety, but calm and trust in myself, enabled me to made choices, I before was too scared to take.

How I work: give, what I would like to get 

My idea for incorporatebreath is born from the desire to give the support I wish for when experiencing physical or emotional symptoms that leave me questioning myself:

• • • speaking facts rather than „new age spiritualism“
    • giving insights and creating understanding and compassion around what is going on with me
    • understanding that reality isn’t always 1 hour of meditation followed by a green smoothie and still yielding results
    • treating mind-body-encompassing symptoms with a mind-body-encompassing approach
    • meeting at a place of no-judgement, empathy, honest interest and commitment to progress.
