Niels van der Valk

Niels leads transformative State of Mind retreats, where he integrates breathwork, psilocybin, and inner work to guide individuals on personalised journeys of self-discovery. As the visionary behind both State of Mind Retreats and Breath Inspiration, he creates unique experiences for those seeking deeper inner connection.

Niels’s path took a defining turn following a personal encounter with burnout. This led him to breathwork and various disciplines, which now shape his entrepreneurial pursuits. A certified breathwork facilitator, Niels conducts monthly breathwork sessions, hosts ice bath events, and has authored a book about his first retreat experience, Men’s Weekend.

As a catalyst for change, Niels empowers others to unlock their resilience and overcome obstacles. With a dedication to mindful living, he shares profound insights for those embracing transformative journeys.

”True success isn’t measured by external achievements alone but by the depth of connection to oneself and others.” Niels
