Breath Coaching in Utrecht — 1-on-1 sessions

Conscious Connected Breath is an active breathing technique where you breathe without pausing between inhale and exhale. The thinking mind moves to the background and the body gets space to release held tension, emotion and old patterns. It's also known as transformational breathing or holotropic breathing. What makes it powerful is that you don't have to understand it — you have to experience it. The body does the work; you only need to breathe and be present.

An individual breath session lasts 90 to 120 minutes with a clear arc: • Arriving (10 min) — a cup of tea, short check-in. What's alive today? Where do you feel it in your body? • Finding focus (15 min) — through Focusing and timeline work we find the doorway for today. Not via the story, but via the physical sensation. • Active breathing (40-50 min) — connected breathing without pause, supported by carefully chosen music. I guide you continuously and help you stay in contact with what's happening in your body. • Integration (20 min) — deep rest, silence, sometimes a short body scan. This is where what moved settles. • Closing (10 min) — a few words to anchor the experience. No analysis, just space.

1-on-1 breath coaching is for you if you: • Feel stuck in stress, overthinking or an 'on' mode that won't switch off • Are working with unprocessed trauma or old emotions you couldn't reach through talking • Recognise symptoms of burn-out, exhaustion or chronic tension • Have a history of panic attacks — that's exactly why we work 1-on-1, so the intensity is fully calibrated to you • Are looking for a deeper connection with your body, feeling and intuition The 1-on-1 setting gives maximum safety and attention. No group to consider — all time and presence is for you.

Conscious Connected Breath is powerful and works deeply on your physical and mental system. I advise against intensive breath sessions in case of pregnancy, serious cardiovascular conditions, aneurysm, uncontrolled high blood pressure, glaucoma, severe lung conditions, epilepsy, serious psychiatric conditions or recent surgery. For (complex) PTSD, chronic hyperventilation or diabetes we work 1-on-1 so we can dose the intensity. When in doubt: get in touch or consult your doctor. Participation is always at your own risk.

• Comfortable clothing in which your belly can expand freely — no tight pants or belts. • Optionally an extra layer (cardigan or thin blanket) for the integration phase, since body temperature can drop. • No heavy meal up to 2 hours before the session; a light snack is fine. • A bottle of water — you'll want to drink afterwards to flush released waste. • Nothing else. No prior knowledge, no preparation, no 'being good at breathing'. The body knows what to do.
