Who We Are
Where physician led science meets world class curation
Ace & Breathe sits at the point two disciplines meet. Almost no one else in this field has both and that pairing is the entire reason the work holds up.
Why We Built This Together
Two lenses on the same problem
Dr. Seleipiri Akobo spent years watching high-achieving professionals arrive at clinical consequences that were entirely predictable and entirely structural. Edinyanga Uko spent a decade designing journeys that changed how people saw their own lives.
One had the diagnosis. The other had the room. Ace & Breathe is what happens when the clinical rigour that makes outcomes real is paired with the curation that makes leaders actually show up.
A physician alone produces a programme people respect and skip. A curator alone produces a beautiful trip that changes nothing. Together, they produce a measurable reset that people travel for.

Leaders don’t have to choose between success and wellness
They can rise in both. That is the whole argument, and every gathering we run is an attempt to prove it.
