Frequently asked questions

All answers

How does the free intro call work?

We meet for 30 minutes on video. You share what's going on; we check fit/match and what suits best (breath, yin, co-travel, or free tools first). Not a paid session, not therapy, no obligation afterwards. Book a slot: calendly.com/spiriators/30min — or via /contact.

How soon can I start?

After the free intro you can often book a first 1:1 within 48 hours — depending on both calendars. No long waiting list; we still check what fits and is safe.

Do you work online — from which country?

Online 1:1 worldwide via video with a stable connection. NL is primary; EN is available. Berlicum is a postal mailbox only, not a studio. Co-travel is on location wherever Tessa and Johannes are.

Is Berlicum or Den Bosch your studio or practice?

No. Berlicum (Beekveld 17a, 5258 SH) is a postal mailbox only — not a treatment location and not walk-in. We live nomadically. 1:1 is 100% online worldwide. In-person only via co-travel, wherever Tessa and Johannes are. Directories such as Coach Dichtbij or YinYoga.com sometimes show a Dutch city (Berlicum or Den Bosch) because they have no 'worldwide' field; their body text still says we work online.

What does a session cost?

€60 per 60 minutes 1:1 breath (Johannes) or yin (Tessa). Couples breath €120. Platform €79 one-time. 30-Day Psoas Reset Protocol: €14.95 until 18 November 2026, then €29.95 — not in the platform (https://spiriators.com/en/ebook/psoas-reset). Co-travel always by arrangement. Prices incl. VAT. Per session — no subscription required.

Is this reimbursed by health insurance?

No. This is wellness and coaching, not insured clinical care. On request we send an invoice for your own admin — don't count on basic or supplementary health-insurance reimbursement.

Can I get an invoice?

Yes, on request — for your admin or employer, not because this is 'healthcare'. Ask when booking or in the intro.

Are you a medical or psychotherapy practice?

No. We offer coaching and body-based work (breath, yin) as wellness. Not a substitute for a doctor, physio or mental-health services. For acute issues we refer on.

What's the difference between breathwork and breathwork coaching?

Breathwork is the technique or practice itself. Breathwork coaching is the guided track with Johannes: intake, sessions, integration and aftercare.

Is breathwork safe?

Mild exercises are fine for most people. Intensive forms (connected breath or rebirthing) need screening — e.g. epilepsy, heart issues or pregnancy. You keep the pace and may stop anytime. Wellness, not medical treatment.

What if I panic or feel overwhelmed during breathwork?

In online 1:1 we help you calmly come back to yourself: slower pace, supportive breath, stop or adapt anytime. No forcing. Acute crisis or severe mental-health needs require clinical care first — we don't replace that.

What happens in a ~60 min coaching session?

Short check-in, guided (often connected) breath, then landing and brief integration. Body first; talk where it helps. No fixed script.

How does online yin 1:1 with Tessa work?

On video: you on your mat; Tessa sees you and adapts poses. €60 per 60 minutes, often with here-and-now coaching. Not a class-subscription platform.

Can I do yin as a beginner?

Yes. Yin is accessible: feeling, not performing. No perfect poses needed. Sharp pain is a signal to release.

Which yoga fits stress or a busy mind?

Often yin or gentle hatha. Dynamic vinyasa can be too activating when overstimulated. Compare on the yoga hub or take the Yoga Check.

What's the difference between a classic retreat and co-travel?

Classic: often a fixed program at one location. Co-travel: you temporarily live with Tessa and Johannes (max about six guests), rotating places, yin and breath in their rhythm — not a resort.

What does co-travel cost?

Always by arrangement. Indication via fixed packages per date and location on the co-travel page.

Can I co-travel with a partner, child or family?

Yes — co-travel with the whole family is discussable. We can work 1:1 and (family) systemically: how you move together in rhythm, breath and relationship. Always start with a conversation to check fit (ages, intensity, logistics).

What if a retreat/co-travel becomes too heavy?

You may stop or step back anytime. Good guidance doesn't force; there is room for 1:1 and integration. This is not acute crisis intervention.

Do you work with relationship patterns or addiction?

As context, not couples therapy or an addiction clinic. Body and breath can touch patterns; for severe issues clinical care is primary — we can support complementarily.

How do I start free today?

Pick a free tool: breathing timer, Breath Check, Yin Check, Nomad Reset, the Nervous System Reset ebook or your free birth chart (cosmic profile). Then optionally a no-pressure intro. Overview: /en/free-tools. The 30-Day Psoas Reset Protocol is paid, not a freebie: /en/ebook/psoas-reset.

Do you have a psoas book?

Yes. The 30-Day Psoas Reset Protocol is an Interactive PDF + App by Johannes and Tessa (€14.95 until 18 November 2026, then €29.95), plus a 1:1 coaching voucher. Now live; after payment comes the fulfilment email with PDF, app code and session voucher. It is not in the €79 platform and is not the free vagus handbook. https://spiriators.com/en/ebook/psoas-reset
