  • Accredited coach & Connected Breathwork facilitator.

WHY BREATHWORK:

After a burnout in 2016, Connected Breathwork helped me overcome the health challenges which dominated my life. As I went further into that practice, I discovered deeper & deeper layers of myself. I developed a whole new confidence & passion for life, and it began to radically transform how I showed up in the world. That is why I’ve committed my life to sharing & teaching this revolutionary work with others!

Pia Gurgel

BORN IN:

Hamburg, Germany 1989

BACKGROUND:

  • Certified Life Coach & Connected Breathwork practitioner since 2022.
  • Trained in a variety of energetic and somatic bodywork modalities.
  • 5+ yrs Project Management experience in Brand Marketing & Business Development.

WHY BREATHWORK:

After almost burning out as a project manger for some of the biggest European E-comm companies, I was led to the path of personal development. What began with yoga & meditation turned into an exploration of different modalities & practices. However, it wasn’t until I found FBR Breathwork that I began to understand the deeper layers and conditionings within myself. It has given me the chance to truly transform my life & completely shift my perspective on how I look at the world. It’s also supported me tremendously in parenting a young child.

Linda-Malena Hasse

BORN IN:

Fuhrberg, Germany

BACKGROUND:

  • Bachelor in Biology, Health and Nutrition.
  • Trained as an Integrative Health Coach, Yoga teacher and Breathwork practitioner.
  • An academic and embodied understanding of anatomy, physiology and body mechanics.

WHY BREATHWORK:

Breathwork allowed me to work through self-destructive behaviours, insecurities and limiting beliefs. It also had a tremendous effect on my recovery from a severe surf accident. Through Breathwork I learned to ride the waves of my emotions and past experiences to completion, and it has expanded my capacity to sit with internal and external challenges. I now support others on their own journey of reclaiming their power, expanding their capacity & finding balance and clarity within.
