Frequently asked questions

Things people often wonder.

Everything you might want to know before reaching out — about the work, the approach, Bio-Well, breathwork, and how to begin.

About the work

Dimka Vanderhaeghen is a kinesiologist, somatic practitioner, and breathwork facilitator based in Belgium and occasionally in Jávea, Spain — working with clients online worldwide. She specialises in nervous system regulation, burnout recovery, and somatic healing. She is the official Bio-Well distributor for Belgium and the author of You Are the Operating System.
Kinesiology is a holistic health practice that uses muscle testing to identify imbalances in the body's physical, biochemical, emotional, and energetic systems. Rather than guessing what the body needs, kinesiology asks it directly. Sessions may include structural support, nutritional guidance, emotional processing, and energetic work.
Somatic practice works with the body as the primary place of healing. Rather than only addressing thoughts or emotions through talking, somatic work helps people reconnect with body sensations, movement, and breath as pathways to regulation. Dimka's approach is grounded in presence, safety, and the nervous system's own intelligence.
Dimka works with people experiencing burnout, chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, anxiety, unexplained health symptoms, and a sense of disconnection from themselves. She also works with highly sensitive people (HSP), those seeking prevention or optimisation, and organisations interested in embodied leadership and burnout prevention.
Burnout is a state of deep physical, emotional, and nervous system exhaustion. Dimka works with burnout through applied kinesiology, somatic therapy, breathwork, nutritional guidance, and nervous system reset — addressing both symptoms and underlying patterns. She offers a dedicated 6-session Recovery Programme.

About breathwork

Breathwork is a guided practice using conscious breathing patterns to support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deeper self-awareness. The breath is one of the most direct pathways into the body's regulatory system — it can shift stress responses, quiet the mind, and open space for what needs to surface.
The Breathwork Sanctuary is a weekly live online breathwork group every Wednesday at 20:00 CET via Zoom. No experience needed. Single session €18 (first session €10 with code FIRSTBREATH), 4-session pack €64, or monthly membership €46/month (50% off first month with code FIRSTTIME).
No experience is needed at all. Dimka guides every session so participants feel safe and supported, whatever their level. The only requirement is that you can breathe — and that you come as you are.

About Bio-Well

Bio-Well is a bioenergetic assessment device developed by Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, based on Gas Discharge Visualisation (GDV) technology. It captures the energy field around all ten fingertips and provides a visual overview of stress load, energy distribution, and adaptability. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat disease.
Yes. Dimka Vanderhaeghen is the official Bio-Well distributor for Belgium and offers devices, professional onboarding, and scanning programmes for health practitioners, sports coaches, HR teams, and organisations.
This is a question worth taking seriously — and it deserves a real answer, not a deflection. Kinesiology as a field is actively researched across leading universities and published in peer-reviewed journals. A 2024 systematic review commissioned by the Australian Department of Health evaluated kinesiology across pain, fatigue, sleep, and emotional functioning. Bio-Well is backed by over 400 academic publications and more than 200 peer-reviewed studies. At the same time, neither field fits neatly into the randomised controlled trial framework designed for pharmaceutical research — and that framework has its own well-documented limits when it comes to individual experience, values, and the complexity of the whole person. What Dimka offers is not a replacement for medicine. It works alongside it — helping the nervous system find safety, and restoring the conditions in which the body can self-regulate.
