Health programmes your team will actually use.
Burn & Breathe brings together functional training, mobility and breathwork –
and I make sure everything is set up so your people genuinely show up.
Based in Berlin. Working with companies of 50–300 employees.
You've booked something. Nobody came. Ring a bell?
The programme looked great on paper. The room was sorted. Someone sent an email. And three weeks in, it's the same five people every time – if that.
It's rarely about the content. It's about the setup. Nobody nailed down the right time slot. Nobody owned it internally. Nobody made it easy enough to just show up.
That's where I come in. Before anything starts, we figure out together what actually works for your team – when, where, who owns it, and how to keep people coming. I bring the experience. You bring the inside knowledge of your company.
A bit of thinking upfront. A lot more impact in the long run.
Not your typical corporate wellness provider.
Most providers drop off a programme and leave you to it.
I deliver the content – and I make sure your team has everything in place to actually use it. That means being honest before we start: who's responsible internally, how you'll communicate it, and what format actually fits the way your people work.
No elaborate strategy decks. Just a clear-eyed look at what's going to work – and then making it happen.
The Concept
Burn & Breathe: activation and regulation, in one format.
Functional training and mobility, combined with breathwork and nervous system regulation. Built for people who spend most of their day sitting, thinking and not nearly enough time recovering.
Evidence-based. No fluff. Designed to work within a real working day.
Selected formats are ZPP-certified.

Was Unternehmen sagen, die mit mir gearbeitet haben.
Prevention Course – Neck & Shoulders (16 weeks)
"Melina showed us how to build lasting strength in our back, shoulders and neck through well-thought-out exercises. She paid close attention to each person during training and gave valuable feedback on technique. Every Friday at 8am, we came together as a cross-team group – the open, motivating atmosphere and the group energy made this a genuine highlight of the week."
– Stephanie Bußmann, Organisational Development, Bankenverband
Move & Breathe Course (4 weeks)
"Every session was received extremely positively by all participants. The varied exercises were a particular highlight – a great counterbalance to desk work, with adjustable intensity to suit every fitness level.
Melina's warm, approachable and motivating style, along with her eye for clean technique, was really appreciated. The structured flow of each session, including the calming cool-down with breathwork, landed brilliantly.
All in all, thoroughly enjoyable sessions with a real, noticeable training effect – thank you so much!"
– Lisa Mating, Executive Assistant
Workshop – Breathwork in the Workplace
"These sessions were exactly what our community needed. So many people got the chance to switch off for a moment, breathe, and come back to themselves. The practical tips that are easy to weave into everyday life were especially valuable – as was the knowledge to build on going forward. The feedback from our members was overwhelmingly positive and we can't wait to have Melina back with us soon."
– Stephanie Remkes, Community Associate, Mindspace
Hi, I'm Melina.
Sports scientist and breathwork coach, based in Berlin.
I've been working in health and fitness since 2019 – six years of leading groups, and I know what it takes to get people to actually show up and keep coming back.
In a corporate setting, that means one thing to me: bringing a great format isn't enough. I also make sure you know exactly what needs to happen on your end to make it stick.
We're probably a good fit if…
…your company has between 50 and 300 employees and most people work at a desk
…you've tried health programmes before and weren't happy with the turnout
…there's someone internally who can own the topic and actually wants to
…you're in Berlin and looking for a straightforward, collaborative working relationship

Not a sales call. Just an honest conversation about whether and how I can actually help.
