Jussi Alihanka
Certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator (GTT)
Psychiatrist, Specialist in addiction medicine, integrative psychotherapist,
Vice President of HB Finland ry
https://minduu.fi/fi/profiili/jussi_alihanka
Jussi is originally from Rymättylä in the Turku archipelago and now lives in Kemiönsaari. He graduated from Grof Transpersonal Training as a Holotropic Breathwork facilitator in spring 2023 and co-founded Holotropic Breathwork Finland together with Valde in 2018. Jussi's interest towards altered states of consciousness and working with them has born out from personal integrative experiences. These experiences have also guided Jussi to explore different ways of perceiving and understanding the human experience. Key elements in Jussi's work are safety and the concept of 'Inner Wisdom', which seeks to describe the spontaneous tendency of the human body, mind and soul to heal and grow.
He believes that Holotropic Breathwork and its principles have a lot to offer for psychotherapy, healing, growth and increasing self-awareness and therefore aims to make the method better known and to increase its accessibility in Finland.
