When you walk, walk like a free person. When you breathe, breathe like a free person.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Bounteous breath
“I can hardly express how happy I am with our sessions and I could not have imagined what has been set in motion in my body.”
“I feel so incredibly grateful for this experience with myself and with you ❤.“
“I went from pain to bliss. I am happy.”
A breath session.
How does that work?
Everything you experience has a direct impact on your breathing. Most of us, over the course of our lives, unconsciously constrict the original, free-flowing breath through alterations in our body. We may be holding unneccessary tension and may spend a lot of time up in our head and less time fully embodied.
You may come to a session with a physical, emotional or spiritual question. Your breath is the access channel to all these layers of your being.
I analyse how you are breathing at this time. During the breath analysis we make the first steps towards an open and fluid breath. From there we will gently move into the ‘active’ part of the breath session. Click the next tab: Breath session.
During the session we work together, hands-on (unless you prefer not to be touched), with your breath, movement, sound, visualisations, affirmations and the landscape of your inner felt sensations.
A session can stir a lot of emotions. Usually, these are echoes of the early sensations and reactions that made you breathe differently in the first place. From deep sadness to untapped joy: during a breath session it may rise up – and we won’t go into the story, into drama. Your body, way wiser than what your egoic mind can make up, will guide the way. I provide the safe and gentle space for you to release these long-stored patterns.
Towards the end of the session, it is time to receive. Often, this is the deepest phase of our session. You can fully relax and let go and let revelations and healing happen all by itself. I will hold the space for you and am here for anything that may arise.
A warming cup of tea will help you ground before you make your way back home to integrate.
During a conversation before the session, we shortly explore your wishes, needs and questions. I listen and may provide instruments for you to support yourself. Examples are tools to help you question limiting beliefs, listen to your body, find the ‘question beneath the question’ and realign with your innate wisdom.
In group sessions we work with clear intentions and a round of sharing afterwards to seal our safe bedding. Here, I may provide observations, clarifications and tips to keep the realisations present and embodied in daily life.

Reclaiming Your Power: How Anger Can Lead You Back to Your Life Force
When anger is met with presence, it becomes more than just a reaction—it becomes a path to reclaiming what is already yours: your life force, your vitality, and your authentic power.
Breaking Free from Fear through Presence
It's natural to want to break free from painful spirals. And the key is not to fight harder, or think smarter — it's to stay with everything that arises, including the things that scare you the most. You don’t have to enjoy it. You don’t have to fix it. You simply have to stay.
Beyond the emotion: deepening into the felt sense
Emotions are valuable. But they are not the final stop. When we learn to stay with them—beyond identification, beyond narrative—we open into a deeper kind of healing. One that isn’t about fixing or explaining, but simply about being here, now, in this, unconditionally. And that, quietly and without drama, can change everything.
Jeff Foster: “Trauma, thank you for protecting me”
TRAUMA, THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING ME Here's the main thing you have to understand about trauma: it wants to keep you hidden. Why? It's trying to protect you. It's only ever trying to keep you safe. It imagines threats where there are none. Stuck in the past, it wants to [...]
Trauma, the body and your breath
This is a first post on a topic that is very close to my heart: trauma. In my eyes, trauma work could save the world. Even if you don’t really have any traumas yourself ;). In my own life, I’ve experienced just how incredibly healing breathwork and bodywork can be. [...]
