Hi, I’m CHANTAL

About Me

My name is Chantal Vander Kraats, and I’m a clinical psychologist who brings deep care, presence, and authenticity to my work. With 15 years’ experience, I’ve supported women through trauma, emotional overwhelm, and life’s most tender seasons. I work full time in my own private practice, where I offer individual trauma therapy as well as small mind-body therapy sessions for women.

Why I Started The Breathing Studio

While I deeply value the power of talk therapy, I’ve come to understand that we are so much more than our thoughts. Our bodies and nervous systems carry the weight of our stories, the highs, the lows, the quiet aches, and they long for gentle tending.

This realisation became the seed of The Breathing Studio. I created it as a warm, safe sanctuary where women can soften, exhale, and gently reconnect with their mind, body, and soul.
