From Self-Destruction to Self-Discovery — and Building Something That MattersÂ
Â
Hi there! I’m BĂĽĹźra.Â
Born and raised in Turkey — now living and creating in Bali. I’m a Breathwork Coach, Movement Specialist, and the founder of Breliva — a method built on one simple truth:
when you breathe better and move better, your whole life shifts.Â
But it wasn’t always this clear.
I graduated from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University with a degree I never used — because deep down, I knew I wasn’t here to build cities. I was here to help people rebuild themselves.
Â
Movement has always been part of me.
I started dancing at 7, met fitness at 18, and never looked back. I became a Level 4 EREPS-certified Personal Trainer, later specializing with NASM in Performance Enhancement and Corrective Exercise.
Over the years, I worked at some of the most well-known fitness clubs in Istanbul — like Soho House — before taking my work fully online.
On the outside, everything looked fine.
But inside, I was silently struggling.
Â
I lived with eating disorders for nearly a decade — first anorexia and orthorexia, then bulimia.
I feared food, punished myself for imperfections, and lost my period, my hair, and my joy.
Most of all, I lost connection with myself.
Â
No amount of weight loss ever felt enough — not because of my body, but because of the core beliefs I held about myself.
I pushed harder and harder, and ended up with serious injuries from overtraining, followed by a long battle with depression.
Â
Things began to shift when I hit rock bottom and chose to heal.
Therapy helped — but breathwork was the real breakthrough.
Â
It wasn’t just breathing.
It was coming home to myself.
It helped me face the beliefs that kept me stuck, and finally let go.
It taught me I was already enough — even without perfection.
It gave me a second chance — not just at health, but at peace.
Â
And that’s how Breliva was born.
After years in both the fitness and breathwork worlds, I kept seeing the same thing:
Misinformation, shortcuts, and spiritual fluff — especially in spaces that need science and safety.
Even when I helped my 1:1 clients, I knew millions of others were still out there, lost in the noise.
Â
So I created Breliva — to bridge that gap.
To help people move right, breathe right, and rest with purpose.
To make wellness not a performance, but a practice.
To teach what’s real, what’s safe, and what actually works — backed by physiology, psychology, and lived experience.
Â
And most of all, to remind people:
You are not broken.Â
You just need to reconnect —
with your breath, your body, and your own rhythm.
This is the work I was born to do.
And this is the work I’ll keep doing —
for those who are ready to heal, not just hustle.
Â
If you’ve read this far, maybe you’re one of them.

Welcome to Breliva.Â
Breathe. Move. Rest. Repeat.
