Welcome to respire.

Osteopathy in Hamburg

Hello and welcome,

I am Tri Luc Vernet, a dedicated Osteopath, Breathwork Facilitator, and Physiotherapist. With roots in both France and Vietnam, I spent my formative years in France before relocating to Belgium to pursue my studies in physiotherapy. After four enriching years of academic and practical exposure, I felt a calling to evolve my understanding of the human body.

This led me to embark on a comprehensive 5-year osteopathy program spanning both Paris and Berlin, culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree in 2021.

My professional journey has taken me to diverse corners of the globe, from private clinics in French Guiana, Mayotte, and St. Martin, to hospitals worldwide. Most recently, I’ve found my niche in Vietnam, where I practiced as both an Osteopath and Breathwork Facilitator. Now, I am excited to return to Germany and establish my practice in the vibrant city of Hamburg.

My primary mission as an Osteopath is to alleviate pain and discomfort. Over time, I’ve grown deeply intrigued by the transformative power of breath. This fascination inspired me to train as a Breathwork Facilitator. I am a staunch advocate for the synergy of osteopathy and breathwork, believing that their combined power can create unparalleled healing and holistic well-being. Thus, I often weave breathwork into my osteopathic sessions to offer a comprehensive healing experience.

Greetings!

I am Melina Herbst, a certified Osteopath, Yoga Instructor, and Physiotherapist hailing from Hamburg, Germany.

My journey began in 2011 when I graduated in physiotherapy. Over the years, I’ve meticulously refined my expertise in manual therapy, lymphatic drainage, and pilates. Eager to deepen my understanding and broaden my therapeutic approach, I embarked on a rigorous 5-year osteopathy program at the Osteopathy Schule Deutschland (OSD) in Hamburg, graduating in 2021.

With a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse public and private sectors. My commitment to holistic health has also led me to participate in humanitarianmissions in Nicaragua and Vietnam.

Furthermore, I spent a significant period practicing as an Osteopath in Saigon before returning to my cherished Hamburg.

My passion lies in seamlessly integrating yoga into my treatments. This holistic approach not only addresses physical ailments but also nurtures the mind.

My pilgrimage to Rishikesh, India, where I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Hatha Vinyasa, was transformative. I firmly believe in the power of personal connection. To me, establishing a genuine rapport with my clients is as vital as delivering top-tier care. Rest assured, when you visit, you will be greeted with a warm, safe, and nurturing environment.

OSTEOPATHY

The conscious connected breathing

Breathing is an automatic act, a steady rhythm we often take for granted. It fluctuates with our emotions, quickening during moments of stress, and slows during moments of peace. Yet, this natural function holds a potent tool within it - breathwork. With a bit of practice, we can harness our breath to navigate stressful periods, boost motivation, or prepare for physical exertion.

So, what exactly is breathwork?

Broadly speaking, breathwork is a collection of exercises that use the breath as a pathway for physical, mental, and emotional healing…

Understanding Yoga

Yoga, an ancient practice originating from India at least 5,000 years ago, is derived from the Sanskrit word for unity. It emphasizes the importance of oneness and the interconnected nature of body and mind.

Over time, three disciplines from Patanjali's eight-limbed path have gained widespread acceptance: Asanas, Pranayama, and Meditation. Asanas, the physical exercises of yoga, cultivate strength, flexibility, and vitality, while increasing life energy. These practices help to relax and foster personal development, making them particularly popular in the West…

BREATHWORK

The Integration of Body, Mind, and Spirit

In the realm of holistic healthcare, osteopathy stands out as an approach that truly appreciates the individual. This manual therapy harnesses the body's innate capacity for self-regulation, working towards restoring the balance of the body's structures and systems. Informed by a profound understanding of health sciences and the complex interplay within our bodies, osteopathy is a practice designed to help you regain control over your health. An osteopath works much like a detective, their hands meticulously exploring to unearth the root cause of neuro-musculoskeletal, visceral, and cranial dysfunctions. In doing so, they craft a treatment plan that is as unique as you, and responsive to your specific health needs…

Testimonials

  • I visited Melina after a surgery on the ankle joint. I can recommend Melina in all conscience. She is competent and knows what she is doing. I felt a significant improvement already after the first treatment. She takes the necessary time to identify the problem and treats the site in a targeted manner with a view on the entire body. Melina gives you the appropriate tips and exercises to do at home to improve the healing process even more. Beside this Melina is empathic and sympathetic – you always feel in good hands with her.

  • Je remercie Tri Luc pour ses traitements et le temps qu il m a accordé. Je suis allée le voir à plusieurs reprises, notamment une fois pour des douleurs dorsales et une fois pour une tendinite, et à chaque fois j ai été soulagée. Examen de la tête aux pieds, très pro. Encore merci.

  • I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your yoga classes that I have attended recently. From the moment I walked into your class, I was impressed by your calming style and your wealth of knowledge. As someone who has been practicing yoga for only a few weeks, it was great to learn new poses from you. You made the classes so enjoyable and challenging, yet still achievable for a beginner. What really stood out most to me was your warmth and calming influence towards your students. You created a space where everyone felt comfortable and welcomed. You encouraged us to stretch ourselves and it really made me want to push myself forward. Thanks for everything, and I hope to have the opportunity to attend your classes again soon.

  • Osteopathy: I visited Melina for osteopathic treatment for several issues that had developed in my body over the past few years. I am on a quest for improved health, and Melina's treatment has really made a difference. She is extremely thorough in checking, diagnosing and then treating. In my case, her treatment approach has been gentle, but very effective. She is genuinely kind and attentive as a practitioner, making one feel comfortable and relaxed during the consultation. I have visited other osteopaths over two decades, and Melina is one of the best. She is skilled and intuitive. I highly recommend Melina to anyone who would like to try osteopathic treatment. Yoga: Melina has a wonderful 'vibe' as a yoga teacher. She is in tune with every individual in the class and her osteopathic training is evident in the way she assists and supports each person to achieve alignment and benefit from the routine. Her class includes breathwork, and the chosen asanas really open up the lungs, the joints and the fascia. Her teaching is great for anyone who spends a lot of time sitting at a work desk or is prone to having stress settling in their body and mind. You will build strength and flexibility while learning how to breathe properly in Melina's classes. Highly recommended!
