Elisabet, Founder & CTO

Hi everyone, I'm Elisabet. I'm deeply passionate about health and wellness, with a keen interest in the transformative power of breathwork. This passion led me to create Anda, a wearable device that can help people optimize their breathing and improve their overall well-being.

Coming from Iceland, where a deep connection with nature is ingrained in our culture, I have a particular passion for cold immersion. The Icelandic tradition of enjoying ice baths, coupled with the invigorating experience of swimming in the arctic cold ocean, has deeply influenced my perspective on well-being.
