Welcome back to another episode of The Pocket with Chris Griffin


This episode is truly special. Today, I'm chatting with the amazing Eugene Koning, a good friend, absolute legend and a breathwork facilitator at Saint Haven (one of my favourite places on earth). 


Eugene’s journey is one of the most inspiring I've ever heard. He moved from New Zealand to Holland to chase his rugby dreams but ended up getting caught in a whirlwind of partying and drugs.


Eugene was such a people pleaser, always doing things just to fit in, living a lie. One night, everything changed for Eugene. He found himself at a breaking point, which led him to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing through breathwork. 


Eugene's story is a testament to the power of resilience and transformation. Now, he dedicates his life to helping high achievers unlock their full potential through the incredible practice of breathwork.


In this episode, we dive deep into:

  • Eugene’s early days and his move to Holland for rugby
  • The highs and lows of his party lifestyle
  • The pivotal moment that sparked his journey into breathwork
  • His incredible transformation and healing process
  • How he now helps others as a breathwork facilitator at Saint Haven


This conversation is packed with raw honesty and deep insights. Eugene's energy is infectious, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite episodes ever. I didn’t want it to end!


Don’t miss out on this powerful and inspiring story. Tune in now and let Eugene’s journey inspire you to start your own path of self-discovery and healing.
