Hi, I'm Kris. I grew up in Sweden, but left in 2012 after graduating business school exploring Melbourne, Istanbul, Berlin, Munich, Costa Rica, and for the last three years, life as a digital nomad across Southeast Asia in search of something more meaningful, authentic and ways to support others with similar stories and struggles to my own.
What I didn't expect to find in the middle of all that searching was breathwork.
For years I did everything “right.” Good degree. International career. Six figures, the kind of life that gets nods at dinner parties. But the suppression started long before any of that, I was around 12 when I first learned to suppress my feelings rather than let them be seen or even feel them at all.
By the time I was building a career, I wasn't hiding my emotions anymore, I'd genuinely lost access to them. Living on autopilot: showing up, performing, delivering, smiling when asked how I was, giving the answer that kept the meeting moving.
From the outside, nothing was wrong. I didn't have a word for it for a long time. Eventually I learned the word is numbness, and that suppression and numbness doesn't ask permission before it becomes the default setting, to the point my body even started to show symptoms of disease.
Breathwork is what cracked me open back in 2025. Not therapy, not yoga, not coaching, not trying harder to think my way through it. The breath allowed my body to do something my mind had been avoiding and couldn't do for almost 30 years.
The deeper insights came in the sharing circles in the end of each breathwork session I attended. The moment the breath quiets and someone describes their new and profound experience out loud for the first time, and the room shifts. Nobody fixed anything. Nobody needed to. And everyone leaves the room with even more curiosity.
