Our story
Our story
Our journey began with a simple realization: in today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself. At The Unwind Lab, we recognize the relentless pace of modern life — constantly moving and always “on.”
We believe that finding calm is not just a luxury but a necessity for personal well-being. That’s why we are dedicated to providing you with simple, effective tools to help you slow down, connect to your body and be present in the moment.
Our mission
At The Unwind Lab, our mission goes beyond offering temporary relief from stress. We see finding calm as a journey of integration, not just a quick fix. Our mission is to make unwinding a natural part of everyday life.
By spreading awareness and sharing practical tools, we aim to normalize the conversation around daily wellness and empower individuals to prioritize their well-being.
Meet Marieke Lara
Hi! I’m Marieke Lara, the founder of The Unwind Lab. My journey into the world of wellness began with a deep, personal desire to find balance and tranquility in our fast-paced world. From a young age, I am sensitive to my surroundings and I struggled with panic attacks. After a traumatic event, those challenges resurfaced. Through movement, mindfulness and breathing techniques, I found more calm, and now I want to share these practices with you.
I hold a master’s degree Communication Science, specializing in collaborative conversation, which I incorporate into my coaching approach. I have also completed a professional trainer program in the Netherlands and a breathwork facilitator training in the Sacred Valley of Peru, enriching my ability to support you.
No matter the reason you’re seeking calm, I provide a non-judgmental and nurturing space for you to explore your path to wellness. I look forward to accompanying you on this transformative journey.
