Christine Schneiders

Founder, Presence Institute

Christine Schneiders founded the Presence Institute after three decades of navigating high pressure leadership roles and launching multiple ventures, beginning with a Zurich childcare business she built at age twenty four. Through these demanding experiences, she observed a critical gap in traditional leadership training. She noticed that highly capable individuals often lose their clarity under sustained stress because their nervous systems fail to reset to a stable baseline. This realization sparked years of dedicated research into human states, drawing insights from her work with people, nature, and horses to understand how pressure fundamentally alters our daily functioning.

Driven by the core principle that state leads and everything else follows, Christine developed the Flow2Glow method. This approach prioritizes nervous system precision and measurable metrics like heart rate variability over generic wellness advice. As an IKP trained breath therapist recognized by Swiss health insurance, she has guided over a thousand clients across private, corporate, and medical sectors. Today, she channels her clinical expertise into the Presence Institute, offering targeted corporate programs, private sessions, and specialized tools designed to help leaders restore their baseline stability.
