- Andie Simon, Breathwork Coach, Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine
After ten years in marketing and leadership roles within large companies, Andie Simon felt a clear shift: it was time to build something more essential. The next step was obvious – sharing breathwork in a way that fits real life, real pressure, and real responsibility. Having lived in Vienna, Copenhagen, and Berlin, she eventually felt drawn back to nature and now lives at Lake Constance. This balance between professional intensity and natural simplicity deeply shapes her work. Today, Andie helps people reconnect with one of the most powerful tools they already have: their breath. Used precisely, breathwork can calm the nervous system, release stored tension, and restore clarity, focus, and emotional balance – foundations not only for performance, but for a long, fulfilled life. For Andie, breathwork is both immediate support and a long-term investment in longevity. Her work begins where the need for clarity becomes loud and leads people to the place where the answer is already quietly waiting. She holds degrees in psychology and journalism & communication sciences and is certified in breathwork, Psychedelic Breath, systemic coaching, and systemic constellation work. Her background in marketing and team leadership allows her to work fluently with high performers, executives, and people under sustained pressure. Her way of working is defined by: slowness instead of volume clarity through reduction, not more input depth over surface – no feel-good programs, but real inner work Her favorite topics combine neuroscience, ancient breathing techniques & specific breath exersizes to regulate the nervous system, quiet mental noise, and support long-term clarity and longevity. At the heart of her work is a simple motto: breathe deeply.

- Darren Wells, Writing Coach and Publisher, Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine
Darren Wells has always had a passion for creativity. He spent his early years drawing and writing, though his paints often ended up everywhere, leading him to focus on words instead. While he initially wanted to write romances or thrillers, his life at the time wasn’t exactly thrilling or romantic. But then, life took a turn. Darren took a leap, jumped in feet first, and to his surprise, he was actually pretty good at it. His first novel is now published, and he’s working with a UK producer to turn it into a TV series and a theatre producer to bring it to the stage. Along the way, Darren co-founded a writing and music promotion agency with his business partner. The goal is to help others chase their creative dreams without feeling overwhelmed or scared. Darren believes in making things simple and straightforward: clients pay a one-off fee upfront, and everything they earn from their work, they keep. The agency doesn’t offer a magic bullet, but with years of experience under their belts, Darren and his team provide the support and tools that give clients the best chance at success. In addition to coaching, Darren also runs a publishing house that helps authors get their stories out into the world—from editing and design to distribution and marketing. He’s not just about getting books on shelves; he’s about making sure those books reach readers with the impact they deserve. Darren also enjoys sharing what he’s learned through talks and lectures on the creative process. He’s even come to terms with the sound of his own voice. More than anything, Darren wants to help others take that first step, just like he did—whether it's writing, singing, or any other form of creative expression.
