Jeannine Gmelin

Passion meets purpose - true freedom comes when your inner drive meets purpose.
When passion and clarity come together, it unleashes a force that changes your life - towards true fulfillment, deep quality of life and impactful results. I accompany you on this path with the energy that allows you to grow - powerful, purposeful and fulfilled.

As the most successful Swiss rower and two-time Olympian, adaptability, perseverance and resilience are far more than just buzzwords for me. They are my foundation and have made me a world and European champion. I know what it's like to endure pressure and how brutally honest this path can be.

I am just as deeply rooted in the world of personal development - a world that is gentle and introspective, but no less demanding. It's about exploring what drives us at our core, about vulnerability and the courage to face ourselves.

I unite two seemingly contradictory worlds that could hardly be more different. Together they form a powerful unity. In both worlds, I find my anchoring - and at the same time the basis for my work with you - in these 4 principles. They are the basis on which passion and purpose come together and growth becomes possible - passion meets purpose.

Authentic

Do you want to be yourself? I live authenticity by taking life as it is - in all its beauty, harshness and intensity. This is exactly how I accompany you in being completely yourself.

Connected

Are you looking for a connection to what sustains and strengthens you? I experience the world in its depth - through nature, real encounters and what moves us at our core. I share this connection with you so that you can find what strengthens you.

Clear and essential

Do you want to recognize what really matters? I live clarity by focusing on the essentials and letting go of the superfluous. This is exactly how I support you in creating space in your thoughts, decisions and goals for what is really important to you.

Enabling

Do you want to walk your path with strength and confidence? I live empowerment by courageously stepping into the unknown and taking responsibility for my steps. This is exactly how I accompany you in discovering your own strength and confidently shaping your path.

Space for Essence
Spacefor Essence is a series of retreats that deliberately slow down and focus on the inner self. They are invitations to turn down the noise, uncover what is essential, and make decisions based on inner clarity. Each event is independent—but guided by the same attitude: depth over speed, perception over judgment. Created in collaboration with Daniela Soltermann (Humania Design), the retreats combine two perspectives: sound high-performance experience and intuitive, perception-based approaches.

The g/rowing experience
The g/rowing experience is a co-creation of three former Olympians who complement each other perfectly, realized as a joint project between Jeannine Gmelin (The Growth Concept GmbH) and Meromind GmbH. Our Olympic journey brought us together over ten years ago. What began as a team in a boat has grown into a deep connection over the years. It is based on trust, appreciation, shared experiences, and a shared passion. Today, we are working together to create a rowing week that will be remembered: with technical clarity, new perspectives in the boat, and mental impulses that carry far beyond.
