Somatic Breathwork
What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a consciously connected breathing technique designed to allow the participant to access an altered state of consciousness allowing for nervous system regulation, reprogramming, connecting to the higher self and so much more.
Breathwork sessions can be done either one-to-one in-person, in groups and/or online.
Breathwork is for anyone looking to:
- Reduce stress
- Reduce anxiety
- Gain clarity
- Connect to the innate wisdom within your body
- Connect to your higher self- 70% of toxins are released from the lungs through the breath
- Increase emotional intelligence
- Release suppressed emotions and tension in the body
- Boost your immune system.
- Connect to passed loved ones.- Improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
A typical session
A typical session with John van Huenen lasts around 2.5 - 3 hours.
The session begins with about 60 minutes of coaching/deep diving into what you are currently navigating. Then you'll be guided gently through a personalised breathwork journey, only opening them to only go as deeply as they feel comfortable.
Through restorative and activating breathing techniques, the aim of the breathwork session is to restore the natural flow of energy through the body-mind system. During a session, you are safely guided through shifting stored emotions, altering belief systems that no longer serve you, and/or completion of anything in your nervous system that has been left unprocessed. During the session, this can look like emotional or physical releases, the feeling of energy circulating throughout the body, and so much more.
Post breathwork you will be guided back out of this state with a meditation/visualisation then we will reflect on your journey and discuss anything that came up and the best action for you to take to move forward in life.
The intention of each session is to create a beautiful, safe space in which you feel safe and held.

"I've never felt so safe and held before as I did with John during his breathwork sessions. He truly represents the healed masculine that is so precious and healing. I was able to process some deep wounds thanks to his gentle and supportive presence. I wholeheartedly recommend attending his sessions, it was life-changing for me!"
-Marlin, Coach
"John, I’ve never allowed myself to be that vulnerable in front of a stranger before. Yes, I had close people around me that I have shared parts of my story with and feel very safe to journey with, but the way you curated such a safe environment through you being you allowed me to open and move things, things that I have purposely not looked at because they were too painful. I appreciate your gift to the world John and am grateful to have had the experience. I look forward to breathing with you again."
Zarah, Practitioner & Herbalist
"I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to show up for themselves and dive deep. This was my first breathwork session and It was an incredible experience. John carefully guided me through the process and was a calming presence throughout. I felt some big shifts and I’m going to incorporate a daily practice john has given me.”
– Tom, Managing Director
"John held a beautiful intimate breathwork experience for a group of our friends yesterday and wow.... he curated such a safe and loving space that allowed some big things to move through me. I felt extremely held and cared for during the whole practice. I absolutely recommend John in the highest regard and if you have the chance to attend one of his events, jump at the opportunity.
You will not be disappointed!"
