We were lucky to catch up with Piotr Ciepiel recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Piotr, thanks for joining us today. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.

In 2012, I faced a life-altering challenge—cancer. Sixteen rounds of chemotherapy tested me in every way possible, but it also awakened something profound within me. During that period, I discovered the power of breath, mindfulness, and the deep connection between the mind, body, and healing. It was no longer just about surviving; it became a journey of transformation.
Through my own healing journey, I realized that breathwork wasn’t just a tool—it was a gateway to healing trauma, overcoming limiting beliefs, and unlocking our fullest potential. I became my own first student, learning to regulate my nervous system, shift my mindset, and embrace a level of self-awareness I had never tapped into before.
This experience changed everything. It became my mission to help others heal, not just physically but emotionally and mentally. I transitioned from corporate roles to creating MiFit Coach—Mindful Fitness, integrating breathwork, movement, and self-awareness into my coaching and retreats. I started hosting “Unpack Yourself” events, leading transformative retreats worldwide, and working with corporations to integrate well-being programs into their culture.

Lessons Learned
Your health is your wealth – Physical fitness is important, but true health requires inner work, breath awareness, and emotional healing.
Adversity can be the greatest teacher – What seemed like my darkest moment became my greatest opportunity for growth and impact.
Breath is the bridge between the mind and body – Learning to harness its power allows us to heal, transform, and elevate our lives.
Purpose comes from experience – Sometimes, our biggest challenges shape us into the guides we were meant to be.
This defining moment not only changed my career—it gave it meaning beyond what I had ever imagined. Now, I empower others to become their truest, most authentic selves, helping them heal, transform, and raise the vibration of the planet.

Piotr, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a Breathwork Master, with Soma Breath, school studied by Harvard & Cambridge, a Fitness Specialist, and the founder of MiFit Coach—Mindful Fitness, dedicated to helping people heal, transform, and reconnect with their true selves. My journey into this work wasn’t just a career choice—it was born out of personal transformation.

How It All Started

In 2012, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with cancer. Sixteen rounds of chemotherapy became not just a physical battle but a deep spiritual awakening. Through that experience, I discovered the power of breathwork, mindfulness, and movement as tools for healing—not just the body but also the mind and soul. I learned firsthand how breath awareness can regulate the nervous system, release trauma, and create a profound sense of inner peace. That realization changed everything.

Before my diagnosis, I was disconnected from my body, I was a career driven professional, climbing up the corporate ladder.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

My reputation in the wellness and transformation industry has been built through a combination of authenticity, lived experience, and results-driven impact. Here’s what I believe has helped me establish credibility and trust in my market:

1. My Personal Story & Authenticity
People connect with real experiences. I don’t just teach breathwork, mindfulness, and fitness—I lived through a life-changing healing journey myself. Overcoming cancer and discovering the power of breathwork firsthand gave me a deeper understanding of true well-being beyond surface-level fitness.
I share my journey openly and vulnerably, which resonates with people who are seeking more than just another fitness or wellness coach—they want someone who truly understands transformation.
2. Deep Knowledge & Mastery of My Craft
I have highest-level breathwork qualifications and years of experience in fitness, nervous system regulation, and mindful movement. My expertise is a blend of science-backed methods and holistic practices.
Clients trust me because I combine practical, real-world application with deep, transformational work, rather than just following trends.
3. Delivering Real, Lasting Results
Whether through my one-on-one coaching, retreats, corporate well-being programs, or breathwork events, people experience real, tangible shifts in their lives—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Word-of-mouth referrals and testimonials have been key in growing my reputation. When people experience powerful transformation, they naturally share it with others.

If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?

Absolutely—without hesitation. I wouldn’t change anything in my life because every experience, challenge, and lesson has shaped me into the person I am today. No regrets.

If I had never faced my battle with cancer, I might not have discovered the profound power of breathwork, mindfulness, and true healing. That journey led me to my life’s mission—helping others heal, transform, and step into their most authentic, powerful selves.

While my path wasn’t always easy, it was exactly what I needed to grow, evolve, and serve others in a deeper way. So, if I could go back, I’d walk the same road again—because every step has led me to where I am meant to be.
