Johanna Lehmann

Johanna Lehmann, founder of Tiger & Turtle, works with one of the most powerful levers behind performance, health, and clarity: the **nervous system**. She supports employees, leaders, and entrepreneurs in regulating stress at its root, shifting out of chronic activation, and accessing states of calm, focus, and sustainable high performance. Her approach goes beyond surface-level wellness—guiding people back into a regulated baseline from which better decisions, creativity, and leadership naturally emerge.

Her work is trusted by global companies including Google and Volkswagen, where she delivers tailored sessions and experiences that integrate seamlessly into modern, high-performance environments.

With a global perspective shaped by years of living and working abroad in places like San Francisco and Singapore, Johanna blends modern nervous system science with experiential practices. She trained with breathwork pioneers including Wim Hof, Kasper van der Meulen, and Niraj Naik (SOMA Breath), and is a 300-hour certified yoga teacher. Her sessions combine breathwork, somatic awareness, and carefully crafted guidance to create deeply regulating and often transformative experiences.

A signature element of her work is **“Breathing in Beats”**—immersive breathwork journeys enhanced by music and **silent disco headphones**, allowing participants to fully drop in, regulate their nervous system, and access altered states of awareness in a safe and guided way.

Alongside her corporate work, Johanna is also a writer and hosts **Creative Calling** events in cities such as Amsterdam and Paris—intimate, thoughtfully curated gatherings that reconnect people with their inner voice, creative expression, and direction. These experiences bridge nervous system regulation with creativity, helping participants move from overthinking into clarity and authentic action.

With a background in the corporate world, Johanna understands the demands of high performers and translates her work into a language that resonates in both business and creative contexts—offering private sessions, group experiences, and retreats.

In contrast to her deeply restorative work, Johanna also embodies physical intensity: she is a professional HIIT trainer and regularly competes in HYROX events around the world. This unique combination of **high performance and deep regulation** defines her holistic approach to resilience, energy, and well-being.
