between two breaths
Somewhere between effort and surrender, there is a place where breath becomes stillness.
Between Two Breaths tells the story of how a chance encounter with the underwater world transformed architect and entrepreneur Simona Auteri into a world-record freediver. Beneath the surface, where pressure rises and silence deepens, she learns how fear can become focus, and how letting go can reveal a new kind of strength.
Part personal journey and part love letter to water, the book explores the physical and mental demands of freediving, the power of breath, and the clarity found in surrendering to the unknown. In a world shaped by speed and noise, freediving becomes a practice of return - to presence, to trust and to what remains when everything unnecessary falls away.
