The people behind CO₂

Two women who have worked with breath, body and nervous system for decades — and who are putting CO₂ back at the centre of that work.

Tatjana Strobel

Founder

Tatjana Strobel

Tatjana Strobel is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, hypnotherapist, networker, and ambassador for some of the most important topics shaping our future: being human, understanding one another, creating meaningful relationships, living fully, and embracing change consciously.

As one of the leading German-speaking experts in human perception, body language, and inner processes, she combines profound knowledge with a holistic approach to the body, breath, nervous system, and consciousness.

Her mission is to make self-awareness and the deeper understanding of human inner processes tangible, accessible, and transformative.

Tatjana’s Statement on CO₂

“Understanding CO₂ can fundamentally change the way we relate to our bodies and to one another.

When we understand how breathing and CO₂ influence our nervous system and our inner sense of safety, we stop viewing stress, anxiety, and inner restlessness as personal failure. We begin to recognise them as intelligent signals from a system that is trying to protect us.

A regulated person listens differently, reacts differently, and relates differently. When we feel safe within ourselves, we become more present, more empathetic, and more capable of genuine connection.

For me, CO₂ is not only a physiological key. It is a molecule of safety – and inner safety is the foundation for a more peaceful world.”

Breath, CO₂ and Inner Safety

For Tatjana, breathing is far more than an automatic bodily function. It connects body and mind and influences how safe we feel, how clearly we think, and how deeply we connect with ourselves and others.

At the centre of her current work is carbon dioxide – a substance that has long been misunderstood. CO₂ is not merely a waste product. In the right physiological balance, it plays an essential role in breathing regulation, oxygen delivery to the tissues, circulation, and nervous-system balance.

Tatjana’s aim is to bring this knowledge into everyday life, therapy, coaching, education, and healthcare.

Vision and Social Impact

“Perception, personality, and interpersonal dynamics form the foundation of peaceful coexistence – and therefore of our shared future,” says Tatjana Strobel.

Her work offers practical answers to a society increasingly affected by chronic stress, loneliness, anxiety, loss of meaning, and declining empathy.

“We need to bring people back into contact with their humanity – beyond superficiality, constant self-optimisation, and the pressure to perform. The breath is the common denominator that influences our nervous system, wellbeing, perception, and relationships. It accompanies us from our first moment of life to our last.”

Tatjana is currently working on a new book exploring the relationship between being human, breathing, regulation, and CO₂.

Author, Speaker and Media Expert

Several hundred thousand people have read or listened to Tatjana Strobel’s books and audiobooks, attended her lectures and seminars, or followed her work across different platforms.

Her non-fiction books have been published by Droemer Knaur, Random House/Arkana, Riva, and Oetinger/migo. Her debut, “Ich weiß, wer du bist”, entered the SPIEGEL bestseller list at number 12 and remained there for several weeks.

Carmen Döscher

Co-Founder

Carmen Döscher

Health is not a matter of chance. It is a choice we make anew every day.

Carmen Döscher is a physiotherapist, naturopathic practitioner, author, and has supported people on their journey towards taking a holistic approach to their health for more than 30 years.

As an experienced therapist, she combines a strong foundation in conventional medicine with a holistic understanding of body, mind, and soul. Her mission is to help people take responsibility for their own health – with clarity, a focus on solutions, and without black-and-white thinking.

Carmen’s Statement on Breathing and CO₂

“When you understand how breathing and CO₂ work together, you begin to understand your body in a completely new way.

Most people breathe without ever giving it much thought. Yet breathing is one of the most direct pathways to greater energy, mental clarity, and inner calm. Functional, conscious breathing can strongly influence how resilient we are and how effectively we recover.

For me, breathing is not a minor aspect of health. It is a central component of holistic wellbeing. When people understand their breathing, they regain a part of their personal responsibility – and with it, genuine quality of life.”

Breathing, CO₂ and Health

For Carmen, breathing is far more than an automatic bodily function. It is one of the most powerful influences on our health – and one of the most underestimated.

At the centre of her work is carbon dioxide, a substance that was long mistakenly regarded merely as a waste product of breathing. In the right physiological balance, CO₂ plays a central role in oxygen delivery to the tissues, breathing regulation, physical resilience, and recovery.

Carmen’s goal is to bring this knowledge out of theory and into everyday life – through therapy, consultation, and the direct physical experience of her clients.

Professional Background

Born in 1972, Carmen has worked as a therapist since 1991. Her training as a physiotherapist laid the foundation for a professional path that has continued to evolve ever since. She recognised early on that the body cannot be viewed in isolation.

Carmen has been self-employed since 2003 and has established her own health centre – a place where people are not simply “treated”, but are truly seen with everything they bring.

She also shares her knowledge and experience as an author, making her understanding of health accessible beyond her therapeutic practice.

Values

Carmen’s work is shaped by curiosity and a constant willingness to question established ideas. She rarely thinks in black and white. Instead, she works with her clients to find solutions that genuinely suit them – not simply those prescribed by a textbook, but those that fit the individual person.

Authenticity and personal responsibility are central to her work. For Carmen, they are not fashionable concepts, but essential foundations for genuine change.

She does not see health as a condition we achieve once and then tick off a list. Health is the foundation of everything that makes life worth living: joy, vitality, and enthusiasm for what we do.

Training and Expertise

Carmen’s training and areas of expertise include:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Osteopathy
  • Naturopathic Practice
  • Being-Potential Coaching
  • Chakra Therapy
  • Comprehensive Body Detoxification
  • Micronutrient Analysis

Her work combines sound professional knowledge, therapeutic experience, and a holistic view of body, mind, and soul – with the aim of making genuine, sustainable health tangible.
