Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life, so we can get to know you better and what inspired you to create hypnobreathwork™?


Meet Fabian Wesselink & The Origin Of Hypnobreathwork™


If you had told me years ago that I’d be doing this, I wouldn’t have believed you. I’m Fabian Wesselink, living on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Australia with my partner, my daughter (part-time), and our cat. I’ve always been fascinated by transformation, pushing limits, and helping people realise their true power. But it all started with pain.


I was with the mother of our child for 19 years. When that ended, my entire identity collapsed. I numbed myself with alcohol, drugs, and distractions until one day, I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognise myself. I wasn’t the role model my little girl deserved. That was my wake-up call. I found mentors, got into NLP and hypnosis, and got sober. When a client told me, You saved my life, I knew there was no going back to a “normal” job.


But scaling wasn’t easy. I tried everything, ads, marketing agencies, appointment setters. Nothing worked. Then I found breathwork. My first real session changed everything. My whole body was shaking, emotions released, but what shocked me most was the silence. For the first time, my mind stopped racing. No overthinking. No negative self-talk. Just peace.


That moment shifted everything. I started combining breathwork with hypnosis and NLP, and the results were insane. People were experiencing massive breakthroughs, and my workshops started selling out. That’s how HypnoBreathwork™ was born, not as a strategy, but because it had to exist.


When you combine breathwork with hypnosis and NLP, you don’t just feel better. You rewire your mind and create lasting change. Now, I get to help people step into their power every single day, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.


What are the key benefits of integrating breathwork, hypnotherapy, and nlp, and how do they work together to create lasting change?


The Power of Combining Breathwork, Hypnotherapy & NLP


Most coaches and therapists focus only on the mind, reframing thoughts, shifting beliefs, and working from the top down. I used to believe that was the way too. I did all the NLP, hypnotherapy, and personal development work, but something was missing.


You can’t have a positive mindset if your breath is out of sync. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, no amount of mindset work will create real, lasting change. It’s like trying to fix a house by starting with the roof instead of the foundation. The breath is the foundation.


That’s why breathwork changes everything. So many people hold trauma, stress, and emotions in their bodies. You can talk about change all day, but if the body is still stuck, the mind won’t follow. Breathwork gets people out of their heads and into their bodies, and when you combine it with hypnotherapy and NLP, transformation happens fast.


People release years of stored pain in a single session. They shift patterns they’ve struggled with for decades. And because you’re working on both the mind and the body, the results actually stick.


What excites you most about the future of personal development and wellness, and how do you see HypnoBreathwork™ shaping that future?


The Future of Personal Development and HypnoBreathwork™


What excites me most is that the old system of treating symptoms instead of root causes is finally ending. People are realising that true healing doesn’t come from a pill or a quick fix. Biohacking, cold therapy, and breathwork aren’t trends; they’re powerful tools that prove we already have the answers within us.


Breathwork has been ranked the number one wellness modality for four years in a row because it works, and it works fast! Even companies are catching on, reaching out to integrate it into their culture.


This is where science-based HypnoBreathwork™ will lead the way. It combines hypnosis without the stigma, the power of NLP, and the deep transformation of breathwork, making change happen faster and more effectively. With functional breathing as a key part of the process, people don’t just shift their mindset; they rewire their entire nervous system.


Connecting the head to the heart is the future of personal development. No more quick fixes. Just real, lasting transformation.


How do you guide hypnotherapists and wellness practitioners in scaling their businesses while maintaining a high level of client impact?


The first step to scaling isn’t marketing, it’s inner work. I teach hypnotherapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners to regulate their nervous system, breathe properly, and show up with confidence. When you operate from that space, everything shifts.


HypnoBreathwork™ has a wow factor that blows clients away. One session creates deep transformation, and when people experience that, they come back for more. That’s how you build a thriving business, by delivering real results!


My course is designed for organic attraction, no expensive ads or complicated funnels. I teach practitioners how to run online group sessions, workshops, and corporate events so they can scale their impact without burnout. When you heal yourself first and offer something truly transformational, success follows naturally.


Can you share a transformative success story from someone who has experienced HypnoBreathwork™?


A Transformative Success Story With HypnoBreathwork™


I could share countless stories. Every time I run a session, whether one-on-one, in a group, or for a company, the feedback is incredible. I could write a book on the deep transformations people experience. But for me, it’s not just about what I can do; it’s about teaching others to create these breakthroughs for their clients. When their clients start raving about them, their business grows naturally.


One of my students worked with a woman who had been in pain for years, relying on medication with no real relief. After one HypnoBreathwork™ session, she messaged the next day saying her pain was completely gone.


Another time, I worked with an NLP and hypnosis trainer who had seen it all. After the session, he looked at me and said, “Fabian, I have never experienced something so deep, so profound, and so healing in my life.”


These kinds of breakthroughs happen all the time. That’s what makes HypnoBreathwork™ so powerful. It’s not just another tool; it’s a game-changer!
