how you breathe is how you live
Conscious connected breathing
is more than a technique. It’s a way of returning to yourself.
Through a continuous flow of breath, without pauses between inhale and exhale, you move beyond thought and into the wisdom of your body.
Though you may often hear the term ‘breathwork’ - and I use it too - it’s not about effort or fixing your breath. Viewing your breath as something to work on can limit its nature and potential. Instead, it is about cultivating a loving relationship with your breath.
Not everything that matters can be measured.
Sometimes, the movement is more subtle: in the way you choose, respond, take up space and meet yourself.
The breath opens a space to feel and listen to what is beneath the surface, beyond what the mind can explain.
Not only: What do I want to achieve?
But also: From where do I want to live and move?
A space for release. For awareness. For clarity. For coming home to yourself.

Let’s breathe
As a breath therapist and coach, I create a nurturing space for you to explore the healing potential of your breath. Whether it’s your first time or you have experienced conscious connected breathing before, I’m here to guide you through a personalized process that suits your unique needs. My approach is grounded in compassion, intuition and deep listening, supporting you in what is actual in your life.
I studied at the Breath and Consciousness Academy, the only institute in the Netherlands fully accredited by the GPBA (Global Professional Breathwork Alliance) and in alignment with the guidelines of the IBF (International Breathwork Foundation).
In the serene setting of my ‘Ademhaven’ between Amsterdam’s Vondelpark and Erasmuspark, we’ll embark on a tailored approach just for you. Together, we’ll explore your unique breathing pattern, uncovering how your breath can guide you towards greater alignment and ease in your everyday life.
I offer sessions in both English and Dutch.

"A very special experience, that only works when a sense of trust is created. Valery does this exceptionally well. I've never done anything like this before. It was beautiful to experience this in such an environment. What it brought me the most was putting my deepest truth and intention into words. Then, to pause and truly take the time to reflect on it."

"Excellent. I was able to completely let go and truly dive deep into the process. Normally, I don’t share my story, but your presence gave me deep trust and openness. Not many people have that."
