Who it's for
Why people come to Johannes
Do you recognize yourself? This is what Johannes most often works with.
You're always on
Stress, poor sleep, short fuse — your body doesn't get recovery. Connected breathing helps your nervous system switch from survival to rest.
Your mind won't quiet down
Overthinking, analyzing, spinning. Breathwork interrupts that loop through the body — not by thinking harder.
The same patterns keep returning
In relationships, work or addiction. What you already understand is still in your system. Through breath and coaching you make space to feel and integrate.
You want depth, not a quick tip
For retreats and co-travel: journeys where coaching, presence and breathwork come together — without forcing.
You want body-based work without woo
Grounded, concrete, clear about what fits and what doesn't. No promises of instant relief — but a path you can feel.
If you need acute psychiatric care, or medical treatment for addiction: we refer you on. Coaching is not therapy and not a substitute for medical care.
Johannes's story
Formal background (chronological): • Navy — submarine officer: work under pressure, responsibility, no drama • 1999 — Competence management / coaching (Multisystems Engineering) • 2016 — Transformation Coach training (Mathijs Bos) • 2018 — 365 Days Successful (coach) • 2021 — Breath Coach training (Tom van Huijstee); connected breathing / rebirthing • Spiriators (co-founder) — online 1:1 breathwork coaching (€60/60 min; couples €120) and co-travel with Tessa • Co-author of The 30-Day Psoas Reset Protocol (https://spiriators.com/en/ebook/psoas-reset)
Coaching and breath are wellness, not a substitute for medical or psychotherapeutic care; for acute psychiatric or medical care we refer on.
Johannes works grounded: breath opens what talk alone cannot reach; coaching helps integrate. No forcing, no quick-fix promise. Online worldwide; deeper journeys also during nomadic co-travel.
"It's not about forcing. It's about making space for what already is."

Expertise
What participants say
"Lovely, kind people. They listen well and are honest even when it's not what you want to hear."
Kayleigh Huijbregts · Coaching & Breath
"Because of my bronchitis I often struggle with shortness of breath. I followed the breath sessions for 28 days. When shortness of breath comes up now, I can get my breathing back under control more easily by managing it well. The breathing exercises taught me to respond more attentively to shortness of breath."
Ferry Maidman · Breathwork
"Lots of good material for little money. Easy and quick to get in touch with questions."

Shallow breath when sitting is a high chest breath after a fixed hip angle

What breathwork burnout does in the nervous system
