About Me
Anika Bäcker
Certified Breathwork Facilitator and Breath Coach
Hi, I'm Anika
Lovely to have you here.
With breathwork and breath coaching, I help people become more aware of their breathing and find a new way of dealing with stress and tension. This can bring more calm, clarity and stability into everyday life, and you can also use your breath more consciously for movement and physical performance.
My work is body-oriented, mindful and goes at your pace. I combine regulating breathing exercises with transformative breathwork sessions. Part of this is also about sensing your own needs more clearly again.
My training as an Intesoma® Breathwork Facilitator comprised more than 400 hours over one year, with theory, practice, coaching and self-exploration. It deepened my understanding of how breath, body awareness and our inner experience are connected. This depth shapes my work.
For almost 20 years, I have been moving between water, warmth and people. Movement, dance and sauna rituals are also part of my path. The experience from all these areas flows into how I accompany people today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most important questions about Breathwork
Breathwork is an active form of breathing work that consciously sets the body in motion. Through specific breathing patterns, your system is activated. Energy flows, emotions become perceptible. This opens up space for processes that often remain suppressed in everyday life.
Breathwork is suitable for people who want to feel deeply rather than just function. For people who carry emotional tension, feel inner restlessness, or feel disconnected from their body.
It helps to integrate held emotions, make patterns visible, and gain clarity on inner issues.
It is particularly meaningful for people
- who suppress a lot or “push through”,
- who long for emotional relief,
- who want more access to their body and intuition,
- who are at points where something “needs to move”.
After booking, you receive a short questionnaire so I can prepare well for you. At the start of the session we briefly talk about what brings you, then I guide you through targeted breathing techniques. Sessions take place online or in person and last 60–120 minutes depending on the format.
In breath coaching, we work in a regulating and functional way. It is gentle, stabilizing and practical for everyday life. The breathing technique is trained so that your body works more efficiently. This supports with stress, sleep, focus and also in sports.
Transformative breath sessions work in an activating and process-opening way. The breath is consciously used more intensely. Energy flows, emotions become perceptible. Old patterns can emerge, inner images arise, the body reacts more strongly. It's about depth, letting go, emotional release and inner transformation.
In short: Breath coaching stabilizes and strengthens the body. Transformative breathwork opens and moves inner processes.
Yes, for certain conditions such as epilepsy, psychosis, pregnancy or severe cardiovascular diseases, transformative breathwork is not suitable. That's why I ask a few questions in a short health check before you book a transformative breath session or a retreat. Through the questionnaire or in a personal conversation, we'll work out together which form is right for you.
If a transformative breath session isn't an option for you because of a health condition, breath coaching with me, using gentle breathing techniques that regulate the nervous system, may be an alternative.
You can find a complete list of all contraindications in the Terms and Conditions.
Sessions take place online via Zoom or in-person in the Trier, Luxembourg and Saarland region. For group workshops and retreats, there are various locations. We discuss details individually.
