About Marla Hansen

Marla Hansen got to breathwork the hard way. She spent a decade working across Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Singapore and Hong Kong, including a role at one of the largest private equity healthcare funds, and studied at Nova School of Business and Economics in Lisbon. Then burnout hit. Breathwork was what brought her back, and it changed what she wanted to work on. In 2025 she founded WellBreathing, a company that wants to make breath a foundation of health again rather than an afterthought. Its first product, WellB, is what the company calls the world's first guided breathing device: it delivers molecular hydrogen (H₂) directly to the respiratory tract. WellBreathing also runs a members' club and partners with the Hydrogen Health Network, a global network of researchers and practitioners working on molecular hydrogen for human health. Her training list is long and specific: Oxygen Advantage, Conscious Breathing, Cambridge neuroanatomy studies, Brain Gym, Myotherapy, plus a certification as Molecular Hydrogen Consultant. The common thread is functional breathing, meaning how you breathe all day, not just during an exercise. At Longevity Hamburg she headlined "Breath is the Missing Pillar in Health" in May 2026: a talk on the oxygen paradox and nervous system regulation, followed by a short breathwork session everyone could do on the spot.
