Always has been.
Always will be.
The pressure doesn't get to you. You stay calm, clear, and confident. You sleep well. Like the partner you always admired.
Willpower runs out. Pressure catches up. Your focus scatters. Your sleep suffers. You consider leaving the job you love.

Partnership track.
The pressure didn't get to me.
Calm, clear, and focused. Even in crisis.
Switching off after work.
But it wasn't always like that.
I wasn't born resilient.
I built it. With systems.

"Even a very performance-oriented audience feels taken seriously, inspired, and empowered."
— Torsten Schneider & Svea Redemann, Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH
"For a workshop with young lawyers, we invited Jan to give a keynote on mental health in everyday working life, followed by a breathwork session the next morning. Both complemented our program very well in terms of content and atmosphere.
What sets Jan apart is his ability to convey mental health not just on a theoretical level, but in a way that feels truly tangible. In his keynote, he combined personal experiences with professional expertise and an authentic, approachable manner.
He manages to address sensitive topics like mental stress or mindfulness in such way that even a very performance-oriented audience feels taken seriously, inspired, and empowered.
The breathwork session the next morning deepened the initial impulse: with great calm, presence, and clarity, Jan guided us through the practice — professional, empathetic, and confident throughout.
We thank Jan for his contribution and can recommend him as someone who advances the topic of mental health with real attitude and skill."

"I never thought something as simple as breathing could have such a huge impact on productivity, focus and mental clarity."
— Moritz, Lawyer, Germany
"Breathwork beats espresso.
I never thought something as simple as breathing could have such a huge impact on productivity, focus and mental clarity. Without Jan's tools I probably would still be drinking espresso after espresso — meanwhile I know that a 5 minute breathwork session can be enough to come back to center.
The results speak for themselves: my billable hours jumped from 73% to 93% of my time in the office. But what really impressed me is how sustainable this approach is — it's been six months since our last session, and I'm still using the breathwork techniques and other habits daily.
Jan's skillset reaches far beyond teaching breathwork and the scientific background, he is a coach with a deep understanding of the challenges which modern work life brings to body and mind — and he knows how to bring everything back together!"
— Moritz, Lawyer, Germany
"A very high return with minimal time investment. In a very short time, you gain initial access to a very powerful tool: your breath."
— Lawyer, Germany
"The workshop with Jan was a very high return with minimal time investment. In a very short time, you gain initial access to a very powerful tool: your breath.
I particularly liked the practical exercises which were an exciting self-experiment. I use the breath intuitively to a certain extent to regulate my emotions without ever having thought of systematically tapping into its potential.
Thanks for the great impulse — will continue!"
— Lawyer, Germany
Of course. I specialize in lawyers because I was one myself. But I also work with in-house counsels, other legal professionals, and people in other intense jobs. What works for high-pressure legal environments works for them too.
P.S.
I know the in-house perspective well — I did a secondment with a major media company for over a year, spending 1–3 days per week there (and the rest in the law firm).
German (native) and English. I spent two years in London, earned my LL.M. at UCL, and worked with international clients throughout my legal career.
This system was built in BigLaw pressure, not a wellness retreat. It's practical tools that work in the real world of legal practice. Designed by someone who knows what being a lawyer actually feels like.
The tools I teach work in under 10 minutes per day — and will save you hours of frustration. Sound like a good deal?
I learned this the hard way. I started meditation with one-hour morning and evening sessions because a teacher in India told me to. Worked for one day in Berlin, then I avoided it for months. It only became sustainable when I started with baby steps.
That's why I prescribe the minimum effective dose, mindful of your time.
