Based on data from late 2024 and throughout 2025 (extrapolated to 2026), workplace stress and burnout in the Netherlands have reached critical levels, with approximately 19% to 20% of the working population experiencing burnout symptoms.
Breathwork in the workplace can empower your employees to come back to the body. In my signature sessions, you and your team will learn to attune with what is possible by shifting from reacting to responding, from stress to calm, from disconnect, to connection.
Together with the Open Up team of skilled assistants, I create a dynamic field of exploration that shifts perspectives, patterns, and mindframes in a generative learning space.
