My mission is to help everyone prioritize mental and physical well-being by offering practical tools which are fun, and accessible. I aim to make healing and becoming more vital a joyful journey, empowering people to reconnect with themselves and others from the heart.
About Heart for People
The idea behind this company and its name has been alive for some years already and eventually got shaped into todays form, especially during the last 6-8 years while working on my personal development.
After giving my own health and healing top priority I've learned a lot about human beings within different societies, about spirituality, health, general vitality, consciousness and I'm constantly learning more about the more traditional Eastern medicine. Moreover on how to combine and apply all of this into the journey you will be going through, so you know how to become the best version of yourself and make your life (more) enjoyable for yourself and perhaps for your loved ones around you.
Of course the heart has a clear presence in everything that has to do with Heart for People; its the basic of life and our first real brain. Without oxygen, there's no heart beat and no life. Living life from the heart leads to a true connection with yourself and from that core you're better able to connect with others.
Besides the heart there's also the butterfly, my spirit animal which represents the transformation process from being a caterpillar, growing into a beautiful and colorful butterfly spreading her wings. Besides transformation she stands for the beginning of (new) life, the start of a new process or the birth of a new chapter in your life.
So you can grow from there, to start giving into a different approach and to strengthen the fulfillment of that new chapter or life, the butterfly.
About Rolf
My mission is to guide you on a profound journey of self-reconnection. Together, we'll rediscover the harmony between your physical body, heart, emotions, and intuition. This transformative process will empower you to forge a path of resolute decisions, free from doubt, and in alignment with the wisdom that resides within your heart.
By unveiling your true self, you will awaken a newfound strength that enables you to foster genuine connections with others. In a world yearning for authenticity, I am committed to nurturing heartfelt bonds that honor the essence of who we truly are.
Join me in embracing this mission to transform your life and create a ripple of meaningful connections that resonate with the depths of your being.
I see myself as a bridge, as a facilitator, bringing people together who seek alternative healing approaches with experienced practitioners in the realm of holistic well-being. My intention is to introduce you to the profound power of breath work, a natural medicine that holds transformative potential for the body, mind, and spirit. Through simple yet powerful tools, I aim to guide and support you on your unique journeys of personal growth and expansion.
I integrate my experiences and wisdom from my time in the hospital as doctor's assistant together with the principles of more traditional Holistic Eastern practices, specifically the harmonizing forces of the 4 seasons and the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. My goal is to achieve a state of balanced energy where body, mind, and spirit receive the attention they deserve, fostering holistic well-being and abundant growth.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Teams & companies
Do you also offer workshops for teams or companies?
Yes. I guide team sessions and corporate workshops focused on breath, connection, and conscious leadership. These sessions support stress release, authentic communication and stronger collaboration. The purpose is to reconnect team members with their vitality, creativity and purpose at work.
Especially in a work setting, since we spend a large part of our time there.
What does breathwork or awareness training bring a team?
Breath and awareness sessions help people release tension, be more present and listen better. To themselves and to each other. The result: less stress, more focus and a more open way of working together. Teams don't just connect more deeply, they also perform better.
Is this suitable for every type of organisation?
Yes. I work with a wide range of companies; from hotels to healthcare organisations and local governments. The content is always tailored to the context, the goal and the culture of the organisation. It isn't about spirituality, but about humanity and awareness in the workplace.
What does a session or workshop look like?
That can range from an energizer or a short breath workshop during a team day to an in-depth awareness programme spanning several weeks. We combine breathing techniques, reflection, movement and experiential exercises. The approach is practical, playful and applicable in everyday work.
How long does a session last?
That depends on the goal. A short session usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. Half a day or a full day leaves room to really go deeper. I'm happy to help shape a programme that fits the team's schedule and energy.
Isn't it too 'airy-fairy' for a business environment?
No. The way I work is grounded, accessible, and always linked to scientific research, conscious leadership, communication, and vitality. People find it refreshing, not airy-fairy. It touches on something often missing in the office: genuine presence.
Can we also use this in leadership development?
Certainly. Breathwork and awareness form a powerful basis for authentic leadership. It helps leaders act from calm and clarity, listen better and give direction with more confidence.
Do you also offer customised programmes?
Yes. Together with the organisation, I design customised programmes. This can be for groups or individual employees. From one-time sessions and 1:1 programmes to themes like vitality, stress reduction, conscious leadership, or team connection.
What do we need in terms of space or preparation?
A quiet room where people can sit or lie down comfortably is often enough. For larger groups or events I bring mats, blankets and materials myself. We discuss beforehand what is needed, so everything runs smoothly.
Can you also offer this online?
Absolutely. For remote teams I offer online breath and reflection sessions. These are shorter and lighter in setup, but surprisingly effective for landing again and connecting together.
1:1 sessions
What exactly does a 1:1 session involve?
A 1:1 session is completely tailored to where you are right now. I work with breath, awareness, movement and bodywork to release tension, find clarity and reconnect with what truly matters. Sometimes gentle and deepening, sometimes confronting, but always in a safe setting.
What does a programme look like if I want to work with you?
We always start with an introduction (in person or online) to see what is needed. After that we build the programme up in phases towards, for example, 3, 5, 7 (or more) sessions, entirely tailored to your situation. The aim is to move towards lasting change; quick fixes don't exist.
General
Do I need experience with breathwork or personal development?
No, not at all. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to be present. I guide you through the experience step by step, so you can relax and go deeper in a natural way.
What is the power of breathwork?
Your breath is a direct gateway to awareness. By breathing consciously, you stimulate your self-healing ability, and thus your body's natural capacity to release tension, process emotions, and find clarity. Breathwork brings you out of your head, back into your body, and closer to your heart.
What happens during a cacao ceremony?
Cacao gently opens the heart. Combined with breath, music and intention, a safe space arises to feel, connect and heal. It is not a “trippy” experience, but rather a conscious and warm moment of coming home to yourself and (if you wish) the group.
Is breathwork safe?
Yes, when it is properly guided. I always make sure the setting is safe and check any medical or psychological considerations beforehand. Breathwork can go deep, so safety and integration are essential parts of the process. That is why you should always arrange an introductory conversation, with any coach, to sense how they feel to you and whether there is a click.
What if I find it hard to relax or get into my body?
That is completely normal. Many people live from the head, simply because we live in a society that (unfortunately) encourages it. That is exactly why we use breathing, bodywork, movement, sound and music to slowly settle again. There is no right or wrong; the process unfolds by itself and is different for everyone.
Can you also contribute to festivals or events?
Absolutely. I often collaborate with organisations to bring moments of awareness to festivals or other gatherings. Depending on your needs, this can be through breathwork, cacao ceremonies, or connecting workshops. Always focused on vitality, breathing, heart connection, and conscious enjoyment.
