Moonbird was founded by siblings Stefanie and Michael Broes in Belgium, born from a deeply personal need. Stefanie struggled with sleep issues and discovered the benefits of breathwork, but found most digital solutions inadequate, particularly during moments of stress or insomnia, when screens are intrusive rather than helpful.
This inspired the idea for a tangible, intuitive breathing coach that fits in the palm of your hand. With a background in pharmaceutical sciences and data protection law, Stefanie brought the medical and scientific grounding, while Michael, with experience in finance and algorithm development, led the technological development.
Together, they created moonbird: a health tech company making breathwork accessible, effective, and screen-free for anyone looking to manage stress, anxiety, or sleep difficulties.
