Andreas Bachmann

The Life Behind the Method

Andreas is not a coach who learned everything from books.
He learned by living — through wild places,
deep challenges, and real transformation.

Over the past years, he has traveled to more than 40 countries, exploring different cultures, philosophies, and ways of life.

Each journey added new layers of understanding — about human nature, emotion, energy, and healing. All of this flows into the AN:RIO Method today.

His professional path began in the fast-paced world of advertising, working in top agencies across Zurich, Berlin, and Frankfurt.
He saw first-hand what pressure, performance,
and constant achievement do to the human nervous system — and what’s needed to truly come back into balance.

Then everything changed.

For the past five years,
Andreas has lived and worked in the African bush.
He managed one of the world’s most respected wildlife sanctuaries alongside Dean Schneider —
a globally recognized voice in animal behavior
and one of the most inspiring humans on the planet.

Living among lions, monkeys, deadly snakes,
and a loyal pack of dogs taught Andreas what no classroom ever could: how to read energy,
trust instinct, and lead with clarity and calm —
even in chaos.

He was also mentored by local South African farmers, who showed him how to live in rhythm with nature and how presence, not pressure, creates trust and impact.

From facing malaria in the jungle and bushfires,
to rescuing wild animals, diving with whale sharks, and completing nearly 200 skydives,
Andreas didn’t just live through adventure.
He was shaped by it.

These experiences became his training ground — teaching him emotional strength, grounded leadership, and how to stay calm when everything around him wasn’t.

Credentials that Matter:
On Paper and in Practice

Andreas is a certified coach, trained by Dieter Lange, one of the most respected names in German-speaking personal development.

He’s also a certified breathwork guide through the OUSIA Breath Academy, where he studied how to combine breath, body awareness, and nervous system regulation into a method that brings real results.

The AN:RIO Method is science-based.
It combines proven tools from neurobiology,
trauma research, breathwork, and peak performance science.

But more than theory, it’s real.
Lived. Tested. And deeply human.

What Makes Andreas Different

Andreas has worked with people from all walks of life — from high-performing professionals in global agencies, to shaping and leading a team in the African bush, where structure, trust, and instinct
had to work in harmony.

There, he learned how to build connection —
not through words, but through presence.

He studied animal behavior up close,
learning to read energy, emotion, and unspoken language — lessons that now flow into how he works with people.

His coaching is clear, energized, and direct.
Not to impress. Not to fix.
But to support real, lasting change.

Through breathwork, deep reflection, and nervous system regulation, Andreas helps people reconnect with what’s true inside them.

No masks. No pressure. No pretending.

Just space to breathe, release, and return to who you really are.
