In Ebe’s past chapter of life, she had a high-flying international career at Fortune 500 companies in China, Singapore, London, and Amsterdam. She felt like a corporate zombie, trapped in a cycle of burnout and feeling lost in life, numb to her emotions. Ebe had navigated the competitive landscapes of the corporate world and intimately understands the pressures and demands - grappling with the relentless pace, the constant drive for success, and the toll it takes on mental and physical well-being. Due to chronic stress, Ebe suffered from migraines, anxiety, insomnia, autoimmune disease, and ultimately three burnouts.

Despite years of contemplating quitting or changing her job, Ebe found herself stuck in a vicious shame cycle. She didn’t understand why she couldn't find the courage to change until she became educated on how her nervous system was stuck. She has spent the last 5 years studying breathwork and nervous system education. It started with using SOS breathwork to ease her anxiety at work, and now she's fully unstuck and reset her nervous system. She then finally made the courageous decision to quit her corporate job and become a wellness entrepreneur dedicated to spreading the power of breath.

Disappointed by the aggressive approaches of traditional breathwork, Ebe envisioned a new path—a gentle, trauma-informed approach that prioritized long-term nervous system healing. Thus, Spinalgetic Breathwork was born, a holistic practice blending breathwork, somatic experiencing, and nervous system education. By combining her firsthand experience with her expertise in breathwork, Ebe offers a unique pathway to transformation, empowering individuals to break free from the constraints and unlock their full potential

Ebe is committed to deepening her expertise and enriching her breathwork offerings. She is currently halfway through Peter Levine's three-year Somatic Experiencing Therapy training. This highly sought-after approach has captivated Orion guests, who have experienced the profound impact of integrating somatic techniques into breathwork sessions. By fostering a deeper connection to the body, these practices unlock transformative breakthroughs, offering participants a unique and empowering journey.

After years of living according to what she thought others expected of her, Carolien chose to dedicate her life to personal development and solo traveling. For many years she ran her family’s business, but realized it didn’t bring her fulfillment. Everything changed during a six‑month solo journey through Asia, where she attended one of Ebe’s transformative breathwork retreats. That experience marked the beginning of her own path as a breathwork facilitator.

Carolien is the creator of Soul Travels, a space where she supports people in taking transformative journeys through solo travel. She believes that travel has the power to change you, especially when approached with intention. Born and raised in the Netherlands, she moved to Aruba at a young age and has since explored 33 countries. Alongside her passion for travel, she is deeply engaged in personal development and spiritual work. She also loves scuba diving and spending time in nature.

Carolien would be honored to guide you through your own breathwork journey.
