Breath as bridge — not as sedation.
A somatic practice that activates the parasympathetic nervous system and discharges held stress cycles. Anatomically grounded, precisely explained.
What happens in the body.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is a continuous, mouth-led practice that activates the parasympathetic nervous system and discharges stress cycles the body has been holding. What releases lives in tissue, not in thought — which is why the practice works somatically, not cognitively.
Alongside the breath I work with Sensory Energetics, Somatic Stress Release and Polyvagal Theory as a map — to read which state your autonomic nervous system is currently stuck in, and which door out is open from there. In Berlin I work in person, in the studio in Neukölln or at your home; online for ongoing practice afterwards.
Three tools that show up in every 1:1 session
- Breath sequences that bring the parasympathetic system within reach — measurably. One of them is a five-minute sequence you can run between two meetings, on a packed day, without anyone noticing.
- Bodily markers you can recognise yourself: lower belly breath, softer jaw, dropped shoulders.
- A somatic toolkit you can call on under pressure, without needing me to guide you.
Who this work is for — and who it isn't.
Contraindications
Conscious Connected Breathwork is not for everyone. With acute psychosis, severe cardiovascular conditions or untreated epilepsy, we don't work together.
During pregnancy, in acute dissociative states or directly after surgery we'll discuss it carefully in advance. If in doubt, the intro call is the place to find out whether this work is the right one for you right now.
When this work particularly holds
When you function on the outside and feel a pressure inside that won't go away. When sleep no longer carries you. When you already know a lot — and notice that knowing doesn't release the tension. When you want a stretch of road, not a quick tool. This is for people who have functioned too well for too long.
What clients want to know before the first session.
How is this different from therapy?
I work as a Heilpraktikerin and facilitator, not as a psychotherapist. This is not a substitute for psychotherapy. It works on a different level — at the body, at the nervous system, at what isn't reachable through language. People who are also in therapy often benefit particularly, because the two levels complement each other.
What happens in a session?
A 1:1 session is ninety minutes. We start with a short conversation — where are you now, what has shifted since last time, what do we put attention on. Then the breath sequence, mostly lying down, forty to sixty minutes, with music and my voice as an anchor. Afterwards a quiet integration: what surfaced, what stays, what to take into the week.
How many sessions does this really take?
A single session opens a room. Eight sessions change a mode. For serious work I recommend the eight-session arc — that's the stretch on which a nervous system doesn't just receive an impression but actually relearns. If you want to feel into whether this fits at all, start with a free intro call or a single session.
What if I want to stop after three sessions?
You can stop at any time. The eight-session arc is a recommendation, not a contract. Payment is in two parts (before the first and before the fifth session), not upfront for everything. If we both notice the work isn't holding right now, we talk about it openly and I only invoice the sessions that have actually taken place.
Online or in person?
In person in Berlin is the densest form. Online works well for ongoing practice, especially if you travel or the commute would be disproportionate. The first contact — intro call or first session — I prefer to hold in person whenever possible.
What should I wear or eat beforehand?
Comfortable clothes that let the chest move freely. No heavy meal two hours before a deeper breath session, and no caffeine right before. Water is fine. Before special events you'll receive a clear preparation note.
Do I need experience with breathwork?
No. Most first sessions are first sessions. I explain everything that will happen before it starts. You don't have to "do it right".
What matters after a session?
Don't pack the day after a deep session. No important meeting right afterwards. Water, something warm, perhaps a walk. Sometimes images or feelings still arrive in the following days. That's integration, not loss.
If this speaks to you — come into an intro call.
