Things people often wonder.

Dimka Vanderhaeghen is a kinesiologist, somatic practitioner, and breathwork facilitator based in Ghent, Belgium and Jávea, Spain — working with clients online worldwide. She specialises in nervous system regulation, burnout recovery, and somatic healing. She is also 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 — applied kinesiology — 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 — all guided by what your own body shows.

Somatic practice works with the body as the primary place of healing. Rather than addressing thoughts or emotions through talking alone, somatic work helps people reconnect with body sensations, movement, and breath as pathways to regulation and integration. Dimka's somatic approach is grounded in presence, safety, and the nervous system's own intelligence — the body already knows the way back.

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. Her approach is suitable for both men and women, and for anyone at any stage of their health journey — you do not need to have a diagnosis to benefit.

Burnout is a state of deep physical, emotional, and nervous system exhaustion caused by prolonged stress and misalignment. 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 designed specifically for people navigating burnout.

Yes. Dimka works with highly sensitive systems as a baseline, not a special case. Her approach is naturally attuned to subtlety — no forcing, no overwhelming protocol. Highly sensitive people often find that kinesiology and somatic work are among the most effective approaches available to them, precisely because the work follows the body's own pace and signals.

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. Dimka facilitates breathwork in a way that is safe, grounded, and presence-led.

The Breathwork Sanctuary is a weekly live online breathwork group, held every Wednesday at 20:00 CET via Zoom. Sessions last approximately one hour and are not recorded — everything stays present and in the moment. No prior experience is needed. Membership is €46 per month (cancel anytime) — use code FIRSTTIME at checkout for 50% off your first month. You can also drop in for a single session (€18, first session €10 with code FIRSTBREATH) or buy a 4-session pack for €64. Learn more and join →

No experience is needed at all. The Breathwork Sanctuary welcomes complete beginners as warmly as regular practitioners. Dimka guides every session so that participants feel safe and supported, whatever their level. The only requirement is that you can breathe — and that you come as you are.

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 generates a visual overview of the bioenergetic state of organs, energy centres, and the nervous system. A scan offers insights into stress load, energy distribution, and adaptability. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat disease — it offers complementary insights to support lifestyle and recovery decisions.

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. Bio-Well is used in wellness clinics, sports performance contexts, and corporate wellbeing programmes. Contact Dimka directly for distributor enquiries →
