About
Why blissko?
The name blissko came to me like a gentle exhale — part English bliss, part Polish blisko (meaning "close").
It holds a simple truth: the peace, ease, and joy you're seeking isn't somewhere far away, requiring perfect conditions or years of preparation.
It's blisko. Close. Already alive in your body.
blissko is where you can rest when life feels overwhelming. Where you can release patterns of protection and rediscover the simple pleasure of being in your own skin.
Because bliss isn't something you have to earn - it's something you come home to.
This work is for you if:
You're probably between 35 and 55. You've built a career, managed relationships, maybe raised (or are raising) kids. You might be a therapist, coach, teacher, manager - someone who holds space for everyone else.
From the outside, you look like you have it together.
Inside? You're managing. You've been holding it all: work, family, everyone's needs, and somewhere along the way, your own body became background noise. During sex, your mind wanders to tomorrow's tasks. Someone gives you a compliment and you immediately deflect it.
You're choosing between parts of yourself every single day. Ambition or ease. Success or rest. Powerful or soft.
Something shifted recently. Maybe your kid said something like "Mom, you're never really here." Maybe your body started screaming - stomach always tight, can't sleep, exhaustion that rest doesn't fix. Maybe you just woke up one morning thinking: if not now, when?
This is your moment.
You're done thinking about it, talking about it, understanding it intellectually. You want something to actually move.
You're ready to stop choosing and start expanding.
And underneath all that? You're bone-tired of pretending. You're ready to let your body finally tell the truth, even if that truth is inconvenient, messy, or makes everyone uncomfortable.
Meet Zuzanna
Holosomatic® Bodywork Therapist · Touch Therapist · Zenthai Shiatsu Practitioner
Body was always calling me
I know what it's like to live disconnected from your body.
As a child, I was pure movement — dancing, swimming, so active my parents sent me to acrobatics classes because I couldn't sit still. Somewhere along the way, like so many of us, I learned to live in my head. The thinking mind became my refuge. My body became something to manage, not inhabit.
The journey back began with yoga, deepened profoundly through motherhood, and crystallized during my Holosomatic® Bodywork training. Watching my body create and nourish life filled me with awe for what I'd been disconnected from.
Now I help other women find their way home to their bodies — not through more thinking or understanding, but through breath, touch, and the kind of presence that makes it safe to finally let go.
The researcher in me loves how science explains what my body always knew: why breath shifts our nervous system, why gentle touch heals, why honoring natural rhythms matters. The woman in me knows that intellectual understanding isn't enough — transformation happens when your body finally feels safe enough to soften.
"I had the most beautiful Zhenthai Shiatsu session with Zuza. It felt like more than bodywork - it was a deeply grounding and healing experience. Her touch was intuitive and soulful, gently guiding my body back into balance. I left feeling lighter, aligned, and deeply connected to myself. Truly grateful for such heart-centered work."

"Bij Zuzanna voel ik mij direct op mijn gemak. Ik had eerst wat schrik, zal ik mij volledig kunnen geven? Haar warme rustige en gastvrije zijn zorgde dat dit gelukt is. En wat een gevoel erna! Ik voelde mij diep ontspannen en een soort gelukzalig gevoel! Gun jezelf de me-time, het is zalig!"

What makes this different:
Most wellness spaces assume you need fixing. I don't work from that assumption.
You're not broken. You're braced. There's a difference, and it changes everything about how we work together.
I also know your world from the inside. I'm not a full-time wellness practitioner who left corporate life a decade ago and forgot what Tuesday feels like. I'm still in it: senior manager, two kids, morning rush, the whole thing. When you walk in I'm not theorizing about your life. I recognize it.
The work itself combines two things most practitioners offer separately: breathwork that moves what's been stuck, and bodywork that teaches your nervous system what safe actually feels like.
Sometimes you need one. Sometimes the other. Sometimes both. You don't have to figure that out in advance - that's my job.
And I work in Dutch, English, and Polish. So nothing gets lost in translation.
Sessions at a glance
Two ways to work with your nervous system — one through breath, one through touch
Bodywork session - gentle restoration
When you need to be held while you remember how to soften.
Breathwork session - deep therapeutic breathwork
When you need to let something move through you.
"The breathwork session was a deep and moving experience for me. Thanks to the safe space, I was really able to let go of what I had been carrying inside for a long time. The breath took me to places where the mind hadn’t reached in a long time - to places in my body and heart that needed attention and soothing. I feel immense gratitude for this time. After the session I felt a sense of lightness, cleansing, and emotion - as if something had closed, and at the same time opened to the new. This experience will stay with me for a long time."
Marzena
"Even though I initially had doubts whether a first online breathwork session would make sense and work out, Zuzanna's professionalism made it possible. “The registration process is very intuitive, and the instructions on how to prepare are very helpful and ensure peace of mind during the meeting. During the session, Zuzanna's soothing voice and beautiful music make you feel cared for and guided, while at the same time you are in deep contact with your body and breath. And the results? After just one session, my sleep became deeper, my body more relaxed during sleep, rather than curled up in a ball and tense as before. And when sleep is better, the mind is calmer and the world more colorful :) I highly recommend it!!"

Upcoming group session
The next opportunity to breathe, release, and return to yourself
Group in-person breathwork @ De Yogazolder (Assebroek)
Saturday, 18 April • 10:00 • 120 min • 45 €
90 minutes
gentle touch · sensory rest
90 € · in-person (Bruges)
This session is for you if:
Your nervous system has been braced for so long that "relaxed" sounds like a foreign language.
You want to rest, but the second you try, your mind starts making lists or your body feels like it's going to fly apart.
You're craving something your body barely remembers: being held without having to earn it, touched without having to perform, safe without having to stay alert.
What happens:
You lie down fully clothed. That's it. That's your only job.
I bring the movement to you. Zenthai Shiatsu — supported stretches, gentle pressure along your body's energy pathways, rhythmic rocking that teaches your nervous system what "safe" feels like.
The breathwork here is whisper-soft. Optional invitations. Everything moves at the pace of your nervous system deciding it's finally okay to let go.
This isn't about "working on" your body. It's about your body remembering it's allowed to receive. To soften. To stop fighting itself.
What changes after:
Rest doesn't feel stolen anymore. It feels like permission.
Your body stops being a to-do list and starts being a place you actually want to live.
You'll notice it when you're sitting with your kids and you're THERE — not half-present while your mind runs tomorrow's schedule. When someone compliments you and it lands instead of bouncing off. When you can receive your partner's affection without immediately deflecting or turning it into a joke.
Spacious. Nurtured. Like someone finally gave you permission to stop holding everything together.
90 minutes
deep release · embodied return
120 € · in-person (Bruges)
110 € · online
This session is for you if:
You've been holding something for so long you forgot it was there — until your body started screaming.
You're done thinking about it, talking about it, managing it. You want it OUT.
You're ready to let your breath take you somewhere your perfectly controlled mind would never allow.
What happens:
This is Holosomatic® Bodywork — conscious connected breathwork combined with intuitive touch and somatic awareness. Whatever wants to come through gets to come through. Grief that's been stuck in your chest for years. Rage you've been too polite to feel. Laughter you forgot was possible. Old stories your tissues have been holding.
I stay with you. My hands follow what your body shows me. Sometimes that's holding. Sometimes it's gentle pressure. Sometimes it's just presence while you shake, cry, roar, or lie completely still.
There's no agenda except what your body wants to release.
Online sessions work through guided self-touch and the same conscious connected breath. Your nervous system doesn't need me in the room to unfold — it needs permission and a safe container.
What changes after:
That thing you've been carrying? Lighter. Sometimes gone entirely.
Your body feels like yours again. Not a machine you push through the day. Not a problem to manage. YOURS.
You'll notice it in small ways first. Your jaw isn't clenched when you're driving. Your shoulders aren't up by your ears during a work call. You can feel pleasure without your mind immediately cataloging tomorrow's tasks.
Clearer. More whole. Like you finally exhaled something you didn't even know you were holding.

FAQ
If you're asking this question, you probably are. The fact that you're here means something in you is ready for change.
This work is for you if you're tired of just thinking about your patterns, ready to actually feel and release what you've been holding, and willing to let your body lead instead of your mind controlling everything.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to begin.
Absolutely. Many people come to this work with touch sensitivity or past experiences that make physical contact feel uncomfortable.
Here's how touch works in each session:
Bodywork: Touch is the foundation of this session — Zenthai Shiatsu and Touch therapy are hands-on modalities. However, you remain in complete control: fully clothed throughout, can say no or adjust at any time, boundaries established before we begin.
Breathwork: Touch is optional and supportive, not the primary modality. The breath does most of the work. I may offer grounding touch or gentle pressure to support what's moving, but only with your permission. Many people do Breathwork sessions with very little physical contact.
Online sessions: You guide your own touch following my direction, which can be more comfortable if you're touch-sensitive.
If you're very nervous about touch, consider starting with Breathwork (where touch is optional) or an online session (where you control all touch yourself). We can always adjust based on what your body needs.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move and breathe in easily. Eat a light meal 2-3 hours before. Come with an open mind — let your body lead.
For online: quiet private space, yoga mat/blanket/pillows, water nearby, test your internet first.
Please give 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less than 24 hours will be charged 50% of the session fee. No-shows will be charged full fee.
If you have a genuine emergency, let's talk. I'm human and flexible.
Breathwork is the primary modality in Breathwork sessions (intense conscious connected breathing).
In Bodywork sessions, breathwork is gentle and optional — soft invitations for your system to settle, not intense.
This is completely normal and part of the healing process. Emotions are energy that's been stuck. When they finally move, it can feel intense. You might cry, shake, laugh, get angry, or feel nothing at all. All of this is welcome.
I'm trained to hold space for whatever comes up. We can slow down, add grounding touch, take a pause, or adjust intensity. You're always in control.
In-person sessions:
Available for both Breathwork and Bodywork
I guide your body directly with hands-on touch
Deeper sense of being physically held and supported
Online sessions:
Available for Breathwork only (Bodywork requires in-person touch)
I guide the breathing, you use your own hands for touch following my direction
Same nervous system shifts and release potential
Practice in your own space, which you can return to between sessions
Bodywork sessions (Zenthai Shiatsu and Touch Therapy) are only offered in-person in Bruges, as touch is integral to these modalities.
Online sessions are available for Breathwork only.
I guide you through the conscious connected breathing, and you use your own hands for touch following my guidance. I stay with you visually and verbally throughout. Same nervous system shifts, same release potential — just more physically independent.
Bodywork sessions require in-person attendance in Bruges, as hands-on touch (Zenthai Shiatsu and TouchTtherapy) is integral to these modalities.
Please inform me of:
Epilepsy, glaucoma, retinal detachment
Severe cardiovascular issues or high blood pressure
Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, OCD, or recent psychiatric hospitalization
History of aneurysms, strokes, or TIA
Acute illnesses or injuries
Advanced COPD, terminal illnesses, or cancer
Pregnancy
We'll discuss any necessary modifications to ensure your safety and comfort.
Safety is foundational. Without safety, your nervous system can't let go.
Consent is ongoing. You stay in control (fully clothed, complete autonomy, can stop anytime). I'm trained in trauma-informed practices. Clear professional boundaries always maintained.
This work is trauma-informed, but I'm not a psychologist.
If you have complex PTSD, acute/recent trauma, dissociative disorders, or need ongoing talk therapy, this bodywork can complement therapy but shouldn't replace it.
If you're in crisis, please reach out to a mental health professional first. This work is for integration and release, not crisis intervention.
