Val Binder

Breathwork & Reiki Practitioner

I aim to create a grounded, safe and supportive environment where people can slow down, recognize patterns of stress and tension, reconnect with themselves, and become more aware of what their body is communicating.

For me, breathwork began as a way to better understand the connection between stress, the body, and how we breathe. What started as a personal practice grew into several years of training and facilitating breathwork in Bali, and eventually into the work I offer today.

Over time, my practice expanded beyond the breath. Training in Reiki and energy work helped me develop a deeper sense of intention, grounding, and intuition when working with others. It also shaped the way I understand balance, we are influenced by what is happening within the mind, the physical body, and the energetic body, and each can affect how we feel and respond.

Today, my approach brings together functional breathing,  breathwork, bodywork, nervous system education, and energy work. I work with both the physiology of breathing (how we breathe throughout everyday life) and the deeper awareness that can develop when we intentionally work with the breath , the body and our own energy.

Whether I’m guiding a group or working one-on-one, I aim to create a grounded, safe and supportive environment where people can slow down, recognize patterns of stress and tension, reconnect with themselves, and become more aware of what their body is communicating.
