about

Hi, I’m Karina Jorgensen.

A breathwork teacher and nervous-system-led stress coach.

I work across 1:1 coaching, workshops, events and group spaces, using breathwork, meditation and practical nervous system education to help people understand stress, shift their state and come back to themselves.

Work with me

breathwork is not a wellness performance.

I don’t just use breathwork as a quick calm-down trick. I use it as a way to work directly with your state, attention and capacity.

Your state shapes how you meet your life. How you think, breathe, react, rest, focus, communicate and choose.

I focus on helping you notice what is happening in your system, understand why it matters, and practise tools that help you come back, not just in a session, but in real life.

Stress is not the enemy.
Living in survival as your default is.

Across all my work, the aim is simple: more awareness, more agency, more range - more capacity for life.

Peace isn’t passive.
Peace is practised.

This work is not just about feeling calmer. It’s about changing the way you relate to stress and move through your life.

The goal is to be able to feel more, meet more, and still stay connected to yourself. To steady when you are under pressure, soften when you are safe, speak when something matters, rest when you are tired, pause when life feels too much, and have the clarity to let your values shape how you live.

It is about building a more conscious relationship with yourself and your life so stress is no longer the thing deciding how you work, rest, relate, choose, and recover.

Training & experience

My work is science-led with a sprinkle of energetics. It is informed by training in breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, nervous system regulation and stress resilience, alongside my personal practice, freediving and experience facilitating 1:1 sessions, workshops, events and group spaces.

I blend practical education with guided experience, so people do not just understand the ideas, they can feel the difference and take the tools into real life.

I’ve always been interested in what it actually means to be well.

Not just productive.
Not just calm.
Not just looking like you have your life together.

Actually well.

Able to feel. Able to recover. Able to meet pressure. Able to live in a way that feels honest from the inside.

That question has followed me through meditation, philosophy, breathwork, movement, travel, and the messier parts of being human.

Freediving gave me one of the clearest lessons in meeting fear, sharpening focus, loosening control, practising surrender, and building capacity.

My mum’s cancer diagnosis made “life is short” stop being a cliché.

It made me look more honestly at the difference between getting through life and actually being here for it.

That question still shapes the work I do now: helping people use breath, awareness and nervous system practice to feel more present, more capable, and more connected to the life they are living.
