What others say

“I claim that with no practice can you go as deeply and clearly into the body as with Breathwork. My need for clarity, understanding and awareness was more than satisfied after the session with Anita. I was deeply touched by how attentive and kind Anita was to me. I immediately felt very comfortable and safe with her. I was able to push the constantly noisy mind and the wild thoughts to the side and really listen to the inner voice of my body, it was really incredible.” – Laila, Bern

“Since April 2022, I have been going to a Breathworks session with Anita about once a month. Each time I felt the calmness and positive energy that Anita radiates as soon as I entered the room. Each session is different, but I have been able to take away new insights and positive emotions after each session so far. Sometimes it was courage and confidence, sometimes an inner contentment and connection with what is right now.  Anita is very empathetic and always there to give support. Through gentle touch or soothing words, she manages to get the breathing to regulate again, I can relax and the anxiety becomes smaller or even dissolves completely.” – Jane, Switzerland
