Living in alignment with breath

Being fully myself and listening to what I truly wanted did not always come naturally to me — even if, on the outside, I appeared confident. After achieving early career success, I suddenly found myself standing dangerously close to the edge of burnout. Life forced me to pause, and one day I finally gave myself permission to take a long, deep break.

Much of that pause was spent by the ocean. I would sit for hours, watching the horizon stretch endlessly, waves moving with a rhythm that felt both grounding and infinite. It was there, in the vastness of the sea, that I began to rediscover my own rhythm. Other moments of clarity came in the stillness of winter, in small red cottages with white corners — places where silence, snow, and firelight gave me space to listen inwardly.

It was through these seasons of rest and reflection, combined with new patterns and lessons, that I found my way toward a life more true to who I really am — one rooted not in achievement, but in alignment with what I genuinely want and need. It has not been an easy journey, but it has been the most rewarding one, leading me to unexpected places, beautiful people, and deep insights that I carry with me today.

Somewhere along this path, I discovered the breath. Something so ordinary — something we do thousands of times every day — revealed itself as extraordinary: a tool to open, to heal, to transform. That discovery changed everything. Since then, I have felt called to share the breath’s power as a gift, not only for myself but for others.

I’ll be honest — I was once skeptical of breathwork, and of practices like it. But I am grateful that science is catching up, confirming more and more of what I have experienced: that the breath can regulate our nervous system, support resilience, and reconnect us with life itself.

I am not perfect, and my journey is ongoing. But the lessons I’ve learned along the way have shaped me in ways I could never have imagined. And it is from this place — imperfect, human, and deeply grateful — that I now share the breath with others.
