Welcome. You’ve found a gentle space.

Hi, I’m Dimka Vanderhaeghen.

I am an embodied health practitioner, breathwork facilitator, and author, working at the intersection of nervous-system regulation, presence, and sustainable wellbeing in modern work culture.

My professional background began in law — a high-performance environment that ultimately led me to burnout and health challenges when my work was no longer aligned with who I am. That lived experience became the foundation of my current work: supporting people and organisations to move from chronic pressure and overload into clarity, regulation, and embodied leadership.

Today, I work with individuals and groups who operate in complex, demanding environments and who sense that resilience cannot be built through mindset alone. My approach is grounded, experiential, and deeply human. Rather than offering quick fixes, I create conditions for people to reconnect with their internal intelligence — the body, breath, and nervous system — as a source of sustainable performance and creativity.

What is often reflected back to me is not just what I say, but how I hold space: a calm, stabilising presence that allows people to slow down, reset, and access themselves differently.

Relevant Experience & Perspective

• Background in high-pressure corporate environments
• Extensive training in kinesiology, breathwork, and somatic regulation
• Years of experience working with burnout, overwhelm, and chronic stress
• Author of You Are the Operating System, a book on understanding human systems with kindness rather than force
• Facilitator of group and organisational sessions, both in-person and online

My work translates complex concepts such as stress, regulation, and energy management into clear, embodied experiences that are accessible and immediately applicable in professional contexts.

With over 30 years of personal and professional experience, I meet each client as a whole being—body, mind, and spirit. Highly sensitive people often need a more subtle kind of listening, and that’s the core of what I offer.

Whether you’re dealing with a chronic health mystery, burnout, anxiety, or just a quiet knowing that it’s time for something to shift—I’m here to support that next step.

Your system already knows how to heal. My role is simply to help you hear it again. I listen closely to what your body reveals—through muscle testing, energy imaging, and your own awareness. My role isn’t to heal you. It’s to help you remember how.

I continue to study and I believe effective healthcare must be personalized, preventative, and deeply intuitive.

I offer 1:1 sessions online and in person, and also do keynotes, write, and guide breathwork as a doorway back to the body’s innate rhythm and intelligence.
