Conni Biesalski

Conni Biesalski is a coach, teacher, writer and entrepreneur living in a small surf town in Portugal. Conni builds things that help people understand themselves, feel better in their bodies and create lives they actually enjoy.

The work brings together holistic health, breathwork, nervous system work and somatic psychology. It looks at the whole person: what you eat, how you breathe and sleep, what you feel, and what you've learned not to feel. Conni came to it through a long personal journey with digestive issues, anxiety, depression and pushing too hard. Breathwork, somatic work and nutrition became part of learning to slow down and pay attention.

Today Conni works privately with entrepreneurs and ambitious people who do a lot but don't feel as well as they'd like. The focus is on energy, gut health, hormones and sleep, and on finding root causes rather than managing symptoms.

Conni is also the co-founder of Intesoma, built with Christine Schmid. It is a home for breathwork education, practice and community. It trains breathwork coaches, hosts an online studio, and runs a podcast about breathing, relationships and being human. Most of it is in German.

Conni writes essays on health, psychology, building a business and living with more curiosity and less self-abandonment. Earlier chapters included travelling the world, making videos and writing two books, Find Your Magic and Digital, unabhängig, frei. Conni lives in Portugal with their wife and their dog, Toni, and surfs, lifts weights and walks near the ocean.
