Gaps filled with Spiriators’ facts. Humans: HTML `/en/faq`; agents: this `.md`. --- ## Starting & practical ### 1. How does the free intro call work? We meet **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. → Pick a slot: [Calendly 30 min](https://calendly.com/spiriators/30min) · or [contact](https://spiriators.com/en/contact?kennismaking=true) ### 2. How soon can I start? After an intro you can often book a first 1:1 **within 48 hours** — depending on both calendars. No multi-month waiting list; we still check what is safe and useful. → [Contact](https://spiriators.com/en/contact) ### 3. Do you work online — from which country? **Online 1:1 worldwide** (video) with a stable connection. NL is primary; EN available. Co-travel is on location wherever Tessa & Johannes are. → [Breathwork coaching](https://spiriators.com/en/breathwork.md) · [Yin yoga](https://spiriators.com/en/yin-yoga.md) ### 4. What does a session cost? **€60** / 60 min 1:1 breath (Johannes) or yin (Tessa). **Couples breath €120**. Platform **€79** one-time. **Co-travel always by arrangement** (fixed packages as indication). Prices **incl. VAT**. Per session — no subscription required. → [Pricing](https://spiriators.com/en/pricing.md) ### 5. Is this reimbursed by health insurance? **No.** Wellness/coaching, not insured treatment. An invoice for your own admin is possible on request; do not count on basic or supplementary health-insurance reimbursement. → [Pricing](https://spiriators.com/en/pricing.md) ### 6. 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. --- ## What we are / are not ### 7. Are you a medical or psychotherapy practice? **No.** 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. → Home FAQ · knowledge pack ### 8. What's the difference between breathwork and breathwork coaching? **Breathwork** = the technique/practice. **Breathwork coaching** = guided track (intake, sessions, integration, aftercare) with Johannes. → [Breathwork guide](https://spiriators.com/en/breathwork-guide.md) · [Coaching](https://spiriators.com/en/breathwork.md) ### 9. Is breathwork safe? Mild exercises are fine for most people. **Intensive** forms (connected breath/rebirthing) need **screening** (e.g. epilepsy, heart, pregnancy). You keep the pace and may stop. Wellness, not medical treatment. → [Coaching](https://spiriators.com/en/breathwork.md) · [Timer](https://spiriators.com/en/tools/breathing-timer.md) ### 10. 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. → [Breathwork coaching](https://spiriators.com/en/breathwork.md) ### 11. What happens in a ~60 min coaching session? Short check-in → guided (often connected) breath → landing and brief integration. Body first; talk where it helps. → [Breathwork coaching](https://spiriators.com/en/breathwork.md) --- ## Yin & yoga ### 12. How does online yin 1:1 with Tessa work? On video: you on your mat; Tessa sees and adapts poses. **€60** / 60 min, often with here-and-now coaching. Not a class-subscription platform. → [Yin yoga](https://spiriators.com/en/yin-yoga.md) ### 13. Can I do yin as a beginner? **Yes.** Feeling, not performing. Sharp pain = release. → [Yin yoga](https://spiriators.com/en/yin-yoga.md) · [Yin Check](https://spiriators.com/en/yin-check.md) ### 14. 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. → [Yoga](https://spiriators.com/en/yoga.md) --- ## Co-travel & retreat ### 15. What's the difference between a classic retreat and co-travel? Classic: often a fixed program, one location. **Co-travel:** you temporarily live with Tessa & Johannes (max ~6), rotating places, yin + breath in their rhythm — not a resort. → [Retreat guide](https://spiriators.com/en/retreat.md) · [Co-travel](https://spiriators.com/en/travel.md) ### 16. What does co-travel cost? **Always by arrangement.** Indication via fixed packages per date/location on the co-travel page. → [Co-travel](https://spiriators.com/en/travel.md) ### 17. Can I co-travel with a partner, child or family? **Yes — the whole family is discussable.** We can work **1:1** and **(family) systemically**: not only separate sessions, but how you move together in rhythm, breath and relationship. Always start with an intro to check fit (ages, intensity, logistics). → [Co-travel](https://spiriators.com/en/travel.md) · [Contact](https://spiriators.com/en/contact) ### 18. What if a retreat/co-travel becomes too heavy? You may stop or step back. Good guidance doesn’t force; 1:1 space and integration matter. Not acute crisis intervention. → [Retreat](https://spiriators.com/en/retreat.md) --- ## Context & free start ### 19. Do you work with relationship patterns or addiction? **As context, not couples therapy or addiction clinic.** Body and breath can touch patterns; for severe issues clinical care is primary — we can support complementarily. → [Breathwork coaching](https://spiriators.com/en/breathwork.md) ### 20.
