You might know her as Saseline Sørensen – former singer, model, and TV host. Today, Saszeline Emanuelle is a certified psychotherapist, breathwork and meditation guide, sauna ritual facilitator, and psychedelic-assisted therapist.

In this interview, she shares how a single session in Costa Rica six years ago became the beginning of a new life—with the breath as her life compass. She talks about the value of grounding yourself in your body, using breathwork as a therapeutic tool – and what she learned from a year of celibacy.

We also talk about skincare rituals, screen-free breaks, and why “I’m fine” is rarely the whole truth.

Get under Saszeline’s skin.

"My journey with breathwork began six years ago when I traveled to Costa Rica to attend a retreat. I was actually there to work with plant medicine, and the very first workshop I arrived at, I literally flew in last minute, not knowing what I was getting into. I just laid down on the mat. It turned out to be a 2.5-hour breathwork session – and it was absolutely life-changing for me.

That’s where it all started. Just breathing deeply – it made such a difference. When I got home, I knew I had to go deeper. I found out where I could take courses and trainings, jumped on the wagon – and now I’ve been facilitating myself for three years.alternatives to the excessive medication culture prevalent worldwide.

At Karmameju, we believe in the power of aromatherapy and work with nature’s scents because we believe they have a truly unique, holistic effect – influencing mental well-being while also improving the condition of the skin. We trust in nature and in its purpose: to support our human needs."

"I have a skincare routine I always stick to. No matter if I come home at 3 AM, I cleanse my face. The skin is our largest organ – I learned that early on when I started in the music industry at 14. We did shows, interviews, traveled a lot – always with makeup on. So I knew that if I wanted good skin, I had to prioritize cleansing and hydration. I still do that today: cleanser, serum, and cream – every evening and every morning. It’s one of the first things I do."

"The most important thing for me when I need to recharge is simply to hit pause. Put the phone on silent and just be – without having to do anything. That might mean spending time with lovely friends in a sauna, or being alone at home with classical music, in bed – without scrolling. Just puttering around – that relaxes me.

I also often do a short breathwork session to get back into the body. I write in my journal to check in: “How am I really doing?” And traveling! That also does something special. Warmth, sun, vitamin D – and not having to be anything for anyone."

"I also facilitate sauna rituals, and I have some oils I always return to. Besides that, I have a few from Karmameju on my bathroom shelf. There’s just something special about essential oils – they nourish the body, without being chemical.

I’ll always come back to lavender. A simple scent that calms me. I could name ten, but I’ll stick to one – and that’s lavender."

"I’m naturally curious and always want to learn more about myself. Sometimes I get a bit lost in that – searching, looking for answers, even when there isn’t always one. Then I end up in my head instead of my body.

This past year I’ve been living in celibacy. It’s taught me a lot about where I direct my energy. I believe we’re here for love – to give and receive love. But over the last year, I didn’t have a place to send that energy—neither in flirtation nor in seeking attention.

I’ve learned that something shifts inside me, in my energy – and how I can use it more purely.
It’s become much clearer to me what I want and don’t want.

So what have I learned? That love and energy already exist in me. I don’t actually need anyone else to feel it. Up until now, I’ve used that energy a lot in my work with people – which I love. But now that I’m getting back into dating, some things are much clearer: who I want to pursue and what I actually want."
