Breathwork coaching in Amsterdam

Your breathing adapts itself throughout the day. During a sprint, your body asks something very different of your breathing than it does before an important match or presentation, after a busy day at work or when you are trying to sleep. When you learn to recognise these differences, you can use your breathing more consciously to experience greater focus, relaxation or recovery.

I am Milo, a certified breathwork expert based in Amsterdam. I coach in English and in Dutch, and a good part of the people I work with are internationals who have landed here and want to get a grip on their energy, their sleep or their nerves. I combine the physiology and biochemistry of breathing with practical, hands-on coaching. My aim goes past handing you a few breathing techniques: I want to change the way you breathe for good. Together we build a breathing pattern that carries you through your day, and we look at where your breathing is blocked or restricted by physical, mental or emotional patterns.

What OTHERS SAY

”... I didn't know how much influence my breathing had on how ‘on’ I felt. Milo explains what is happening clearly and practically. Through the exercises and weekly check-ins, I recognize tension sooner and know better how to shift down. I benefit from that every single day.”

WHAT OTHERS SAY

“Often at the end of my matches, my energy would suddenly drop completely, and I suffered a lot from pre-match nerves. With Milo, I worked on my strength and conditioning and breathing technique at rest and under pressure. I experience less tension now and am fitter than ever! Highly recommended!”

What others say

“The breath journey was special and touched me, but it felt safe from the beginning and the guidance was great. Milo took the time to listen first and provided just the right amount of direction during the session. It has given me new insights that I want to do more with.”

How does breath coaching work?

We start with an intake and breathing analysis. We look your breathing patterns in rest and what changes when we influence your breathing. In doing so, we examine your breathing rhythm, breath volume, respiratory muscles, and diaphragm, among other things. We also consider the influence that posture, physical tension, thoughts, emotions, and learned patterns have on your breathing.

Based on that, we determine what you need. Perhaps you want to relax more easily, sleep better, or experience more energy. Perhaps you want to remain calm and clear-headed when the pressure rises. We first work on your technique and biochemistry and get started with targeted exercises, apply them together, and clarify when you can use which form of breathing. You will experience the benefits of this within two weeks.

If it fits your goal, we can also use in-depth breath sessions or breath journeys. With different breathing rhythms and music, we bring your attention out of your head and back into your body, creating space to feel, release tension, and gain new insights.

Breath coaching for sports performance and recovery

From warm-up to maximum effort and recovery: every phase of your training has its own breathing rhythm.

Yet many athletes train their strength, conditioning, and technique without ever consciously looking at the way they breathe.

Together we find out how your breathing reacts when the intensity goes up. Can you hold a workable rhythm? Do you use your respiratory muscles efficiently? What do you do with the urge to breathe, and what happens when fatigue or the pressure to perform builds? The kitesurfers, Hyrox athletes and ball-sport players I coach in Amsterdam each run into that at a different point.

We then practice this as much as possible in the situations where you need it: during movement, around training stimuli, and in the transition to recovery. The goal is not to keep breathing through your nose under all circumstances or to learn one perfect technique. You will learn to adapt your breath to what your body and the situation demand: activating before a performance moment, maintaining efficient breathing during exertion, and shifting down faster after a load. This way, breath training becomes not a separate component, but a practical addition to how you train, perform, and recover.

Do you want to combine movement, handling pressure, and recovery? Within the Milo Mentorship, sport-specific strength and conditioning, ACT coaching, and breathwork coaching are seamlessly combined.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between breath coaching and a breathwork journey?

Breath coaching is functional and goal-oriented. We map out your breathing pattern and work on your breathing technique, biochemistry, and applications for rest, exertion, and recovery. A breathwork journey is more experiential: using various breathing rhythms and music, you shift your focus from your head to your body. Both forms can be used separately or as part of a program.

What does the 8-week breath coaching program look like?

We start with a 2-hour physical intake, during which we thoroughly examine your breathing and your goals. This is followed by weekly 30-minute digital check-ins, and you will track your progress via the app. This allows us to tailor the exercises and work step-by-step toward lasting change.

What can breath coaching help with?

Breath coaching can help if you find it difficult to relax, experience restlessness or low energy, recover poorly, or notice your breathing changing under pressure. We examine the physical, mental, and emotional patterns influencing this and teach you how to consciously align your breathing with what you need.

What can breath training do for athletes?

We can work on your breathing rhythm during exertion, using your respiratory muscles more efficiently, managing the urge to breathe, and staying calm under performance pressure. You will also learn how to better switch between activation, performance, and recovery. Breath training serves as a practical addition to your strength, conditioning, and recovery program.

Is a breathwork journey suitable for everyone?

You don't need any experience to start breathwork. We will discuss your needs beforehand and choose a format that suits you, ranging from gentle exercises to a more intensive connected breathwork journey. The session is carefully structured and adapted to your responses. If you have any medical conditions or are unsure if participation is right for you, please consult your doctor first.

How much does breath coaching cost?

The full 8-week 1-on-1 breath coaching program costs €995.

If you prefer a single session, the cost is between €100 and €115, depending on your specific needs and frequency.

An individual 2-hour breathwork journey costs €200. It is highly recommended to do this 3 times within 6 weeks, in which case a package price of €550 applies.

Participation in a small-group breathwork journey costs €100 per person.
