About Me

I used to wear my hustle like a badge of honour. For 20 years, I built and led businesses, driven by ambition and a deep desire to create impact. But eventually, that drive pushed me to the edge. My nervous system was shot, my energy tank was empty, and I felt like a stranger in my own life. I was done.

That crash sent me searching — not just for recovery, but for a new way of being. As a self-confessed recovering A-type personality, I’ve always been fascinated by the mind, human potential, and the pursuit of meaningful impact. That curiosity took me on a global journey into the art and science of human performance — exploring breathwork, movement, cold exposure, and heat therapy as tools for self-regulation and sustained vitality.

Through these practices, I found more than my way home — I found purpose. What began as a personal healing journey evolved into a calling to help others.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with entrepreneurs, leaders, and their teams around the world — helping them navigate stress, avoid burnout, and reconnect with their full potential. Whether it’s through talks, team workshops, or immersive retreats, my work is all about helping people regulate their nervous systems, feel better in their bodies, and lead authentically with more clarity, creativity and confidence.

As a certified Thermalist Instructor, with additional training in high performance coaching and breathwork, my facilitation style is grounded, empowering, and rooted in science.

If you’re ready to shift gears, reset your system, and find a better rhythm for the way you lead and live, let’s go!

Join me for a Thermalist Method® Workshop, a powerful and science-backed experience combining cold and heat exposure with guided breathwork and mindfulness — designed to support your mental clarity, stress relief, immune system, and physical recovery.

This isn’t just another wellness trend. It’s a method rooted in over a decade of scientific research by Dr. Susanna Søberg, PhD in metabolism and pioneer of the Søberg Principle — now practiced by thousands worldwide.
