- What is breathwork?Breathwork can be described as a group of exercises that focus on breathing and is much like an active form of meditation which allows us to disconnect from the mind and be guided by the body. Through breathwork practice, we are consciously working the breath to bypass the mind to allow us to enter into a different state of awareness.
- How can breathwork help you?The basic premise of breathwork is to release toxins and stress when you breathe out and to nourish your mind and body when you breathe in. Breathwork is supportive for stress, anxiety, depression, fear, grief, sadness, trauma and insomnia. The techniques can help us work through and process our emotions in a healthy way. It can also aid us to build upon our self-love, and gratitude, help us gain clarity of thoughts and aid us in developing a deeper connection to the self.
- What breathwork techniques will I learn?There are many different breathwork techniques, and each has unique benefits. We will start with belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing), before moving through to other breathwork exercises depending on your individual needs and goals.
- What happens during a breathwork session?In our first session, after filling out the questionnaire I will begin to understand how to bring awareness and structure into your life through breathwork. I will hold space to discuss what is important for you so we can work on breathwork techniques that will add value to your life.

Your compassion and commitment to living out your teaching principles are commendable. Thank you for walking alongside us on this transformative journey. The pillars of well-being and the books you recommended were just gold and life transformative for me. I had the best time of my life during this retreat and can’t wait for the next one.

I am immensely grateful for the unforgettable 5-day retreat in Romania and the enchanting teachings that accompanied it. Throughout the program, combined meditation, gentle yoga and insightful coaching, I felt truly seen and supported, as well as by every woman I had the privilege of meeting in this retreat. Andra’s approach that combines spirituality and science was totally new to me, the yoga Nidra sessions have stretched me beyond my comfort zone in meditation, allowing me to deepen my practice and feel confident and enthusiastic afterwards.

Attending this retreat has truly transformed my life. The connections I made and the changes I experienced by choosing to travel with Andra profoundly impacted me. Thanks to the techniques I learned during the retreat, I now have the tools to address any issue that kept me awake at night. I eagerly look forward to the next opportunity to meet you in person and hug you.

Working with Andra has been one of the high points in my life recently when I felt so lost after the pandemic. I lost my mojo (that’s what they call it). Andra encouraged me more and more each session which helped me to restore my confidence and to take real action to change my thinking which was rather negative. After a journey of some five months, I feel empowered and happy to face the world again.

I wasn’t sure of what I needed but knew I needed some help to find a way forward in my life. I must admit that I was reluctant to open up at first, however minutes into our very first session, Andra put me at total ease and I don’t think I stopped off-loading my thoughts and feelings. This was the best thing that I have done and now we are working on the challenges that I face, each one of them becoming less so. It is a journey for me but I am feeling more inspired each week. Huge thanks!

Andra is very approachable and professional. She has worked patiently with me since we met. With gentle guidance, I now know what I need to do and how to better look after my mental well-being. Stress seems to be less of a thing now and I am learning to enjoy life to the full making time for myself. The experience has most definitely been practical, insightful and successful. I highly recommend her.

Never been to a coach before nor did I imagine spending money on coaching sessions would be worth it! I thought I knew it all. I am so happy that I met Andra at a networking event last year. More than anything for me, Andra is a fantastic listener and I feel better just having someone so professional to be able to talk to whenever I need to about things that are bothering me. Having that impartial advice with small suggestions is the best medicine ever.
