How your breath affects you emotionally, physically and mentally
Did you know that symptoms like unease, a weak voice, anxiety, poor digestion, low energy and aches in the body can be directly related to the way you are breathing? Or that all emotions change your breathing patterns?
With our simple techniques, we have helped countless clients achieve greater inner peace, better sleep, fewer aches and pains, better digestion and much better confidence. It’s all about breathing in and out smaller, not greater, amounts of air.

Are you someone who has tried everything without finding solutions to anything?
Is it difficult to explain to professionals what the problem is, or even know where to begin? Your pains and concentration problems probably seem like complex issues, and your symptoms may be “invisible”. Somehow, it’s reached a point where it’s affecting your relationships, your self-confidence and your overall performance.

What Anette’s clients say
My wife, Ruth Jenny Auran, and I went on a breathing technique trip where Anette Aarsland was the tour guide and instructor. Anette did a brilliant job and impressed us with her knowledge about breathing – not to mention how she managed to convey her knowledge in a way that helped us all learn a lot. It’s worth mentioning that I’ve had issues with a stutter, and I’ve worked a lot with speech therapists and taken various courses to learn different techniques, but nothing has had a lasting effect. After a week with Anette, my stutter is practically gone. It’s fantastic :-)
It’s the kind of holiday I’ve seen pictures of in magazines, but that I never expected to experience.
Spending a week at a monastery in Italy, in surroundings that are both simple and a feast for the senses:
Whitewashed walls, archways and a well in the courtyard, a lavender hedge around the swimming pool, two-course lunches and five-course dinners every day – Italian and delicious :). In this setting, you get to meet different people who are curious about what you can find when you explore the breath and the voice (and there’s a lot!). Anette, with her warm, authentic and unpretentious being, quickly contributed to creating a safe atmosphere in the group. She gives of herself. She’s sincerely interested in each participant and generously shares of her knowledge and experience. This is the kind of holiday everyone should treat themselves to at least once in a lifetime… Yes, maybe even twice.
This was a very good course. The course and Anette herself were very specific, professionally and scientifically founded, and practical, using exercises that made it easy to bring what we learned back with us and use it in our daily lives. Anette is very engaged in each individual, and manages to create a safe group environment. Because of this, everyone received personal guidance and achieved results.
The monastery provided a phenomenal setting. Live gave of herself and helped you with contacts and information, which meant you could choose between peace and quiet or a number of exciting activities. The food was simply delicious!! Home-cooked Italian food every day.
It was great. I recommend this wholeheartedly – especially because treating yourself to something like this, time and money-wise, really gives you something to lean on when you come home to a busy life.
The right breathing techniques can help with
I am very happy with the learning outcome from the week of breathing in inspiring surroundings, with this enthusiastic and knowledgeable course leader. Anette was thorough in facing each individual’s challenges, so there was plenty of variation in the exercises and programme.
I am a course leader in rhetoric and presentation techniques, and I experience daily how important the right breathing technique is to using your voice fully when giving presentations.
I recommend Anette’s courses to anyone who comes my way!
When I sought out Anette, I suffered from a stiff neck and headaches several times a week. For years, I’ve been trying different treatments like physiotherapy, chiropractic, naprapathy and strength training, without noticeable improvements.
With Anette, I learned simple breathing techniques I can do when it suits me – on the bus, at work and at home. I soon saw results and after a short while, the headaches were gone.
I have simply been given a tool to control my headaches and handle stressful situations in my daily life.
Anette is amazing! I’m so glad and grateful that I went to see her. I’ve now had two sessions with her, and through these sessions, I’ve learned a lot of things that have improved my life. I booked a session with her because I was struggling with anxiety and hyperventilation. In the first session, I learned exercises that finally made me able to breathe in a way that feels right for me. When I do these exercises, I feel an inner calm, I feel present, and it has increased my joie de vivre!
Even though I learned a lot during my first session, I’m very glad I came back for another session with Anette. During my second session, I learned a lot more about how to perform the breathing techniques, and I now feel I’ve mastered them. I’m so excited to learn even more from Anette. Her knowledge of breathing is incredible and life-changing! In addition, she’s a super sweet and bubbly woman who is a pleasure to learn from!
Anette Aarsland
I, Anette Aarsland, am a trained opera singer and voice teacher who has studied voice pedagogy. After having studied for eight years, I went through a painful breakup, which resulted in me having a superficial breathing pattern and losing my voice. Only when I came in contact with a former opera singer did I learn what the right breathing techniques can do – for more than just your voice.
