Introduction
You're exhausted, sleeping badly, overthinking everything — or your body is sending signals you can no longer ignore. Maybe you've already seen your GP. Maybe even ended up at the emergency room. And still nothing was found.
The cause is often something you've been doing your entire life without thinking about it: breathing.
A dysfunctional breathing pattern keeps your nervous system in constant survival mode. It causes anxiety, panic attacks, chest tightness, sleep problems — and the feeling that you've lost control over your own body. Without realising it, your breathing is sabotaging your daily life.
With breathing therapy we tackle exactly that. Using measurement equipment we make your breathing visible — you see precisely what is happening in your body and what effect each exercise has. No guesswork, just measurement. Many clients feel significantly calmer after the very first session.
Alongside breathing therapy, I work with stress therapy for those stuck in patterns, and with VR therapy for young people from age 16 who want to work on anxiety, self-confidence and loneliness safely and anonymously as an avatar.
No standard programme. Always tailored to your situation, your complaints and what you need. You are heard without judgement — and you are allowed to be who you are.
About me
Thirteen years ago I closed my career in the banking sector — not because I had to, but because I knew firsthand what it feels like when stress takes over your life. I wanted to enjoy life again. The small things. The people I love. That desire shaped me into the therapist I am today.
Since then I have trained as a Wellness Specialist, Breathing Coach, Breathing Therapist and Burn-out Coach — and every day I work with people who are looking for the same thing I once was: to regain control of their lives.
Sessions in Spijkenisse and Krimpen aan de Lek, online via video call or via VR. Most health insurers reimburse part of the costs with supplementary coverage for alternative care.

Specialisations and Expertises
Stress
Stress is rarely just one thing. Together we look at what causes stress in your life, how your body responds to it and what you need to regain control. You learn practical techniques to better manage stress, set boundaries without guilt and choose yourself again — without judgement.
Anxiety and panic
Many people who come here have already seen their GP, sometimes even ending up at the emergency room. Nothing was found — and yet it is there. The chest tightness, the feeling that you cannot breathe, the fear that something is seriously wrong. In most cases, breathing is the key. By measuring and practising in a targeted way, we break the panic cycle and you regain control over your body.
Breathing problems
A dysfunctional breathing pattern can cause and maintain more complaints than most people realise. Chest tightness, shortness of breath, hyperventilation, no control over your breath — without any medical cause. Using measurement equipment we make your breathing visible, so you can see exactly what is happening in your body and what effect each exercise has. Many clients feel significantly calmer after the very first session.
Depression
Feeling empty, joyless and disconnected from yourself — depression has a profound impact on daily life. We work on what lies beneath: stress, unprocessed emotions, patterns that keep you stuck. You learn to reconnect with yourself, rediscover what makes you happy and take small but meaningful steps towards feeling like yourself again.
Sleeping problems
Difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently, lying awake with racing thoughts — sleep problems are almost always a sign of an overactive nervous system. By working on breathing and stress patterns, we give your body the space to truly relax at night and restore the sleep your body needs.
