Hege Svenningsen is a physician with more than 20 years of experience, around 15 of them as a general practitioner. She has pursued further training in holistic medicine, including Unity Therapy with Audun Myskja, Integrative Breathing Teacher training with Rosalba Courtney, and certification as a MediYoga and Ashtanga yoga teacher, mindfulness coach, and firewalk instructor.

Over the past 7–8 years, she has focused especially on breath as medicine, and she left her position as a GP in November 2023 to share breathwork as a tool for better health, vitality, and inner calm. In the summer of 2025, she published a pilot study on breath therapy for persistent physical symptoms.
