Disclaimer
Nothing on this website is intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease of any kind and should not be construed as implied or other medical advice. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider if you have questions about a medical condition or treatment and before undertaking any new health care program. Never ignore professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
VAT and sound therapy treatments can release energies and trigger changes in the client’s life. We accept no liability for these changes and any consequences that may result, either to clients, their legal successors or third parties.
You will receive all information and safety guidelines for breathwork techniques; however, participants in our workshops, online courses and training programs are fully responsible for all methods and techniques used:
Recognizing the risks: You are aware that there are inherent risks in participating in breathwork and other techniques, including but not limited to physical, mental and emotional effects.
Personal responsibility: You are fully responsible for your own well-being and understand that any breathwork techniques provided are not a substitute for professional medical or psychological advice. If you have any health concerns, you should consult a qualified health professional before participating.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The following list names specific conditions in which Vibroacoustic Therapy and Biofield Tuning should not be used:
- Pacemakers – because there are magnets in the transducers.
- Recent surgery or open wounds – vibroacoustics accelerate circulation and blood flow, which aids healing, but this is counterproductive in the case of an open wound.
- Acute inflammatory diseases
- Hypotension
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Seizure disorders / epilepsy

Payment
Sessions and treatments can be paid in cash, TWINT or in advance by bank transfer or PayPal.
Cancellations 1:1 Sessions
We understand that you may need to change your booking and therefore ask you to cancel at least 48 hours before the booked date so that we have enough time to offer this space to another client. A fee of SFr. 30.- will be charged for late changes; the full fee will be charged for a no-show. This policy is to confirm your commitment to attend your scheduled appointment, as cancelations and no-shows have a significant impact on us.
For events: All public group sessions (Breathwork Ceremonies & Sound Meditations) are binding, i.e. as with regular events, we insist on advance payment for the reservation of your place due to long waiting lists. If you cancel at short notice, we will always try to find a replacement from the waiting list; in this case, we will offer you the opportunity to attend another event in the near future. If no one from the waiting list moves up or there is no waiting list, there will be no refund. You may also give your ticket to someone who can come in your place.
For retreats & workshops we require a deposit according to the confirmation email within 10 days after the binding registration. Up to 6 weeks before the start of the retreat, we will refund the full amount. Up to 2 weeks before the start of the retreat we will refund 50% of the seminar amount, after that we will charge the total amount of the seminar costs. The cancellation conditions of the hotel or retreat center apply to room and board costs.
For training courses: We require a non-refundable deposit of CHF 500 to secure your place. The remaining amount as per the invoice in the confirmation email is due no later than 30 days after receipt of the confirmation. Should financial obstacles arise, we are open to a monthly installment plan in three installments; we are also open to up to four installments under special circumstances, which must be paid by the 5th module at the latest. The deposit is non-refundable; however, we are open if there are reasonable grounds for cancellation, in which case your deposit will be transferred to a later training program.
If participation in a module is not possible for unavoidable reasons, depending on the module, specific parts of the module may be made up 1:1 (therapeutic hours) for quality assurance purposes. The necessity of this will be discussed bilaterally with the students. Course insurance is recommended in this regard.

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking.

Social plugins
We use so-called plugins on our website, small programs or program packages with which software is adapted and expanded to meet the respective requirements. Many programs, such as graphics programs, media players or internet browsers, support the functions that a normal user uses in their basic version. We have included links to our social media profiles on the following social networks on our website: YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of your personal data can be found in the privacy policy of the respective provider.

ReCaptcha
We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (Google) to protect your requests via the Internet form. The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. The deviating data protection provisions of Google apply to this data.
