Everything
about me
I'm Melanie – a strategist with a passion for my work and an expert in the biology of resilience. My journey has taken me from the precision of international finance projects to the transformative stillness of breath and cold. Today, I combine my experience as a leader with scientifically grounded methods to show people that true strength begins with conscious pauses.
Strong like a mountain
Soft like a feather
Numbers, performance, focus – and the breath in between
My path has always been characterized by a clear structure and a love of challenges. In school, it was math and sports, later, in my A-levels, chemistry – subjects where logic and biology intersect. This combination of physical activity (track and field, climbing) and analytical thinking has been a recurring theme throughout my life.
The world of numbers: From auditing to IPO
After completing my degree in Business Administration with a specialisation in finance, I embarked on a classic, fast-track career: auditing, management accounting, and heading up the finance department.
A personal and professional highlight was the initial public offering (IPO) of BIKE24 – a project that demanded the utmost precision and resilience. When I later took on the role of CFO at Little John Bikes, I had, on paper, reached the pinnacle of my career to date.

And Home
The cold never bothered me anyway.
The missing piece of the puzzle: Leadership needs a foundation
I have been intensively involved in personal development for many years and have completed numerous advanced training courses for managers. But despite my knowledge, I felt: there is a limit.
A gift from my colleagues – a Wim Hof seminar – changed everything. There I understood: Leadership knowledge without a biological basis is like a high-performance engine without cooling.
Through targeted breathing and exposure to cold, I finally found a way to prepare my body and nervous system for the extreme demands of a leadership role. I realized that I can lead much more effectively when my foundation – my own body – is stable.
My insight for you
Coaching and strategies are valuable, but they often remain theoretical when the biological system is trapped in stress mode. Only when you learn to control your breath and your physiology will you develop the true presence and resilience that define a modern leader.
Today I combine my experience from top management with the proven methods of JHE LIFE. I show you how to adjust your "operating system" so that you not only withstand life's demands, but master them with true inner peace.
