What I offer
Breathwork
Breathwork is an essential part of the guidance I offer. Using evidence-based, trauma-informed techniques, I help you regulate your nervous system, release stored tension, and restore emotional balance.
Whether you're healing from trauma, recovering from toxic relationships, or simply carrying too much stress, conscious breath can reconnect you with safety, presence, and vitality.
While breathwork is woven into all Innara sessions, I also offer focused breathwork sessions or collaborations with medical professionals such as speech therapists or respiratory specialists.

The Breath Break is back! ✨
After the freedom of summer, easing back into your daily routine can feel overwhelming. After a period of rest, it’s easy to lose your sense of calm, connection, and the balance you may have felt while you were away.
In this 1-hour online breathwork session, it’s all about grounding yourself, resetting your energy, and maintaining balance — while also staying deeply in touch with your heart. 🫶🏼
📅 Date & Time: Wednesday, 3 September · 19:30 – 20:30 (CET)
📍 Location: Online
💸 Pricing: €10 single ticket · €25 for 3 sessions
🧘 What you need: Nothing. No experience required — just bring yourself, find a comfy spot at home, and if you like, keep a notebook, a pen, and a cup of tea nearby.

Breathwork changed everything for me.
One breakthrough session helped me clear deep emotional blocks I’d carried for years that I didn’t even knew where there.
Now, daily breathwork keeps me grounded, calm, and connected — in body and soul.
It’s more than just breathing.
It regulates your nervous system, supports your mental health, and brings you home to yourself. ✨

Years ago, I stood in a cornfield and screamed.
Something deep inside me needed to come out.
I didn’t know it then, but it was my nervous system releasing what it couldn’t hold anymore.
As a teenager, I spent most of my time in a friend’s home that wasn’t safe.
There were toxic dynamics, subtle control, and a constant emotional tension.
It was the first time I learned what it’s like to walk on eggshells.
To feel small.
To forget your own worth.
But I also knew the opposite—my own home was warm, safe, loving.
That contrast showed me what healing environments can do.
They help us come home to ourselves.
🌿 You are not alone
🌿 You are not broken
🌿 There is another way
If you’re in—or coming out of—a painful relationship and feeling stuck, I’m here.
I offer trauma-informed guidance & breathwork to help you rebuild from the inside out.

A little behind-the-scenes of the past few months. 🎥
I had the joy of being a coach in the @maastrichtuniversity @edlab_maastricht PREMIUM programme, a track for ambitious master’s students working on real-world projects with external companies.
My team worked on improving the onboarding process at @aixigo_ag.
My role? To coach them through the human side of the process: self-reflection, team dynamics, leadership, values, feedback, and personal challenges.
What I gave: space, tools, support.
What I got: connection, insight, inspiration.
PREMIUM also offered us coaches amazing workshops, from systemic thinking to difficult conversations to giftedness, all of which added so much depth to my own practice.
Grateful for the students, the coordinators, the other coaches and mentors, and the @premium_maastrichtuniversity community that made this such a beautiful experience. 💛

I spent the weekend in Eifel National Park, Germany, hiking, slowing down, and letting nature do her thing. 🌲✨
Being in nature always grounds me and makes me feel like I’m home again. A place I can just be.
Birdsong tells our nervous system it’s safe to relax. And simply looking at trees or sunlight through the leaves calms us down. It’s how we’re wired. We are nature, after all.
So, take a moment to look at the trees.
Listen to the birds.
Exhale deeply.
And reconnect to yourself.

A moment of inner peace. ♡ (Dutch below)
Last Sunday I hosted a mindful pranayama session during the ‘Wie ben ik, wat wil ik’ weekend, a spiritual retreat organized by @mediumhellohedwig.
Through gentle breathwork, we slowed down and created a moment of inner peace.
Thank you for having me, Hedwig and Ashwin, for the opportunity to host this workshop, meeting this group of beautiful people and sharing a delicious meal after our session. 🙏🏼✨
Een moment van innerlijke rust. ♡
Afgelopen zondag gaf ik een mindful pranayama-sessie tijdens het ‘Wie ben ik, wat wil ik’ weekend, een spiritueel retraite georganiseerd door @mediumhellohedwig.
Met zachte ademhalingsoefeningen vertraagden we en creëerden we een moment van innerlijke rust.
Dankjewel dat ik erbij mocht zijn, Hedwig en Ashwin, voor de kans om deze workshop te geven, om deze prachtige groep mensen te ontmoeten en om samen te genieten van een heerlijke lunch na de sessie. 🙏🏼✨

Listen to the waves. ♡
The closer we get to summer, the more I miss the ocean.
The calm, the power, the rhythm.
Watching the waves always brings me back to myself.
Lately, my emotions have come crashing in like the waves.
And I tried to hold them back.
But you cannot hold back the ocean.
You can’t fight the water.
It moves the way it needs to.
So I’m learning to stop pushing, and just feel.
To let them rise, move in me, and out of me.
And every time I do, I find calm in the turbulence.
Life is filled with waves.
So breathe. Listen. Let it flow.
And the sun will rise again.

Letting go. ♡
Join me for another online breathing circle!
This time we’ll focus on letting go of what no longer serves us, thoughts that limit us and situations out of our control.
In my own life I’ve been faced with some situations recently that require me to let go of some unhelpful thoughts and things I cannot change. Maybe you have been too.
So if this resonates, let’s share our experiences and breathe through it, together.
I hope to see you next week.

Whenever you need to. ♡
What you’re looking at is a quarry.
The earth was carved open here.
Emptied out.
And still, life returns.
Water rises.
Trees stand watch.
Sometimes, we too are asked to hollow out.
To let go of what no longer serves us.
And in that space, something new begins.
You are allowed to begin again.
And again.
And again.
What is quietly growing in you now?
What would you begin, if you gave yourself permission?

Here it is, my messy but authentic attempt at talking about authenticity (with Nielson purring loudly in the background). 🐈⬛
I did about 10 different versions discussing many different perspectives on this topic, but I landed on this one, at this moment in time, because… I don’t know, it feels most authentic?
For me, our most authentic self is our favorite self. It’s not our best, not our worst, it’s somewhere in the middle.
It is you, growing and learning and, yes, becoming better and more true to yourself… but also trying, experimenting and not knowing sometimes.
It’s you having the courage to make decisions that feel right to you and give you energy. It is you, exploring, laughing, loving and living wholeheartedly.
I believe that’s what we all try to do as much as we can every day. So here’s to the messy, beautiful, real you. You are already enough. You are already doing it. 🌿✨
(And if you feel a little lost and could use a bit of guidance in making decisions towards your favorite self: I’m here to help.)

Glimmers. ♡
Tiny moments of connection. Of joy. Of calm.
Those little sparks that remind me: I’m here. I’m okay. Life is good.
For me, glimmers can be:
A butterfly in the trees.
Playing a game with my family.
Walking through the woods.
A hot cup of cappuccino in bed.
Enjoying the sunshine.
And learning something new.
Not big. Not loud. Just true.
We so often talk about triggers. But glimmers deserve just as much space.
They’re the subtle signals that our nervous system feels safe and that we’re present, grounded, alive.
What are your glimmers?

Hi, I’m Michelle, founder of Innara. 🌿
As I’m sure you can tell from my pictures, I love exploring this beautiful earth we call home and meeting new people from all walks of life.
Humans have always fascinated me—how we think, feel, learn, and develop. This interest led me to study psychology, neuroscience, learning & development, coaching, and breathwork, earning various degrees and certifications along the way.
With Innara, I aim to combine scientific knowledge with somatic and spiritual wisdom to help you grow. Follow my account for inspiration and insights into our shared human experience and the beauty of this world we live in.
I’d love to help you step into the favorite version of yourself. Shine, baby, shine! ✨

Just a quick reminder. ♡︎
A couple of slow breaths can really change your day.
We spend so much of our day rushing, moving from one task to the next, barely noticing how we’re breathing. And often, without realizing it, we start breathing fast, shallow, and high in our chest, keeping our nervous system in a state of stress.
So here’s your invitation: pause. Take a deep breath in through your nose, all the way down to your belly. Then let it go, slowly, softly, longer than your inhale. Repeat a couple of times until you feel yourself sinking back into your body. Grounding.
This simple shift of elongating your exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system, signaling safety, calm, and ease. Even just five slow breaths can bring a moment of clarity and help you reset.
Give it a try and see how you feel. 🌿

In which languages do you offer your services?
I offer all my services in Dutch and English. You can choose the language that feels most comfortable for you.
Do you work online or in person?
I offer both online and in-person sessions. Because I currently don’t have a fixed practice space, and believe in the power of movement and nature, all in-person sessions take place outdoors. If that’s not possible, we’ll meet online instead.
The availability of in-person sessions depends on my current location, as I travel internationally. My home base is Maastricht, the Netherlands. You can always check my website or contact me directly to see where I am and whether in-person sessions are available.
How do I know which offering is right for me?
Each offering at Innara supports your growth, healing, and transformation, but they meet you at different stages of your journey:
The packages (Awakening Self, Healing Self, Thriving Self) provide personalized guidance with a blend of coaching, counseling, and somatic work like breathwork.
- Awakening is ideal if you're seeking clarity and a deeper awareness of yourself and your patterns and coping mechanisms.
- Healing supports emotional release, pattern shifts, and nervous system regulation.
- Thriving helps you (re)align with your purpose, values, and vision for life.
These 2–3 month journeys are designed to meet you where you are and move with you.
- Circles, workshops or other events offer group connection, through breathwork and/or other themed exercises, to explore inner wisdom, emotional release, and community reflection in a safe, sacred space.
- Retreats are immersive experiences in nature that deepen transformation, rest, and embodiment: ideal if you’re ready to step away from daily life and drop fully into yourself.
If you’re not sure where to start, that’s completely okay. I’ll help you clarify what resonates most and ensure you’re supported, even if that means referring you elsewhere. Most of my work blends different tools to meet your unique path with presence and purpose.
Why don’t you offer individual sessions separately?
Because real, lasting change takes time. Research shows it takes around 8–12 weeks to form new neural pathways and truly shift habits. One or two sessions may bring insight, but they rarely create sustainable transformation.
That’s why I offer my work in structured packages designed to support you over several weeks or months. Single sessions are only available as add-ons or continuations after we’ve already built a solid foundation together.
What if I only want to do breathwork?
Yes, that’s possible. I offer fully tailored breathwork trajectories where the number and focus of sessions are adjusted to your needs, whether you want to optimise your breathing (e.g. as an athlete) or simply deepen your connection to your breath.
Because your breath and your life are deeply connected, I often include guidance or coaching alongside the exercises to support your overall well-being.
If you just want to get a feel for breathwork or experience a powerful emotional breakthrough, you can also join my bi-weekly breathing circles or book one of my occasional breakthrough breathwork sessions, either as a one-off or subscription-based.
For a broader journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation, breathwork is also integrated into my main packages: Awakening Self, Healing Self, and Thriving Self.
How often do you organize circles?
I organize two types of circles, with minimum 2, up to 6-8 persons max:
- Themed circles: Held quarterly with different themes (e.g., natural elements like air or fire) and incorporating different methods (narrative, embodiment, etc.)
- Breathwork circles: Held biweekly, currently only available online.
If you're interested in joining a circle, contact me.
How often do you organize retreats?
Retreats are planned based on demand. In my retreats, I bring together coaching, breathwork, and holistic practices, working alongside specialists such as yoga instructors, personal trainers, sound healers, and nutritionists to create an immersive experience for deep transformation.
Interested in joining a retreat? Send me a message and stay updated by following my website or social media.
Can I hire you to lead workshops or sessions at my retreat, event or company?
Yes! I am available for collaborations with retreat organizers, businesses, and wellness professionals.
I can facilitate breathwork sessions, lead transformational circles, or offer guidance through coaching and counseling as part of your retreat or corporate event.
Contact me to discuss a collaboration.
How much do your services cost?
View my full price list here.
Are your services covered by health insurance?
No, my services are not covered by health insurance. However, I do offer options such as paying in terms, depending on your circumstances.
View my price list and community care options here.
Do you offer discounts or payment plans?
Yes, I offer discount in some cases. For example, when you book multiple packages or refer a friend. I also offer several community care options.
