Hello
I'm Niels, a Dutch native who has called Basel home for over seven years, living alongside my wife and daughter. A profound personal awakening sparked by a burnout redirected my life's course and gave birth to Breath Inspiration and State of Mind Retreats.
My heartfelt commitment revolves around imparting the transformative potential of breathwork, especially Conscious Connected Breathing, to individuals and groups alike. My mission is to guide more people on their distinctive journeys through the power of breath.
My Story
After many years in corporate managerial roles, a significant life event shook me to the core. Burnout became a harsh reality, leading to a deep reevaluation of my life. This wake-up call prompted the need for inner transformation, but where should I start this journey?
​
The turning point occurred during a retreat when I experienced a powerful breathwork session, specifically conscious connected breathwork. In that moment, I connected with my inner voice, sparking a profound calling to support others through breathwork.
​
Breathwork had transformed my life in ways that nothing else had, despite my previous efforts in various avenues.
Following the retreat, I embarked on a personal journey to explore various breathing techniques, which eventually led to the creation of Breath Inspiration. I'm thrilled about the opportunity to personally guide you in discovering how breathwork can bring transformative changes to your life.
I look forward to connecting with you.
Niels
