Celine Fontaine

With over 20 years of corporate experience, primarily in learning and development, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals and teams thrive under pressure. As a Franco-British personal & professional coach, I’ve worked internationally, guiding professionals to unlock their potential, manage stress, and achieve personal growth.

My life journey has always been about bridging worlds. From volunteering in a school in a very poor area of Manila in the Philippines at 21 to advocating for migrants in East Harlem, New York, I’ve sought to connect cultures, paradigms, and ways of thinking. This passion for connection eventually brought me to Southeast Asia, where I’ve lived for over a decade, continuing to explore the intersections of East and West, science and spirituality, and corporate efficiency and human connection.

Breathwork embodies this fusion perfectly. Rooted in ancient traditions yet validated by modern science, it bridges the physical and emotional, tangible and intangible. I discovered breathwork in 2020, during a time of global uncertainty, and it quickly became my anchor. What started as a tool for managing stress has transformed into a daily practice that helps me restore balance, navigate emotions, and stay connected to my true self.

Outside of my work, I’m a proud mother to two wonderful sons and of two equally cherished feline companions. Life for me is about balance—finding joy in the little things and grounding myself in the present moment. Whether it’s dancing bachata, losing myself in a deep, meaningful conversation with friends over a glass of wine, or embracing the silence of a retreat, I believe in living wholeheartedly.

I find inspiration in listening to remarkable human stories, thinking deeply, and savouring cappuccinos on a sunny terrace with a good book. Breathing, of course, is at the heart of it all—a reminder to pause, reconnect, and embrace the beauty of each moment. And if you meet me, you’ll know I’m a fan of spontaneous, heartfelt hugs that say everything words cannot

Now, breathwork is a cornerstone of my coaching and personal development practice. Whether I’m supporting busy professionals, parents, or those navigating life’s transitions, I guide clients to use breathwork to reclaim balance, improve mental clarity, and cultivate resilience. Through private sessions, group workshops, and corporate initiatives through Breath@Work, I tailor breathwork experiences to meet the unique needs of individuals and organisations worldwide.Linkedin Profile
