Welcome with life's matters
Within my practice, I offer body-centred complementary care and training,
where ‘knowing and understanding’ come from experiencing and being able to interact (again).
I specialise in working with impactful experiences (trauma)
and bringing clarity to life's more complex choices (personal counselling).
Further I design experiential interventions and trainings
for professionals, students and individuals in the areas of
stress-regulation, social engagement and power dynamics.
But first and foremost, I am here for you as a fellow human being.
Have a look around and feel free to get in touch.
You are welcome with everything alive.

These body-centred, science backed methods enable recovery from trauma, overwhelm and stress, even long after the event.
Especially for people who:
- Have gone through a traumatic experience and are not recovering well.
- Have an involuntary loss of clarity and energy in certain situations or, on the contrary, over activate.
- Are recovering from an intense period or burnout and want to involve the body.
- Are in a healing process with a psychologist and want to involve the body.

Thuis, op het werk of in het sociale leven. Elk mens loopt af en toe vast en vind op zichzelf geen uitweg. Persoonlijke begeleiding biedt je een betrokken ander en een palet aan methodes die je ondersteunen bij het hervinden van orientatie, je verlangen, eigen kracht en de mogelijk diepere thema's die meespelen.
Especially for people who:
- Find themselves stuck in a difficult situation at home, at work or in social life.
- Fall back into patterns that are not fulfilling their needs and want to change this.
- Experiencing high pressure and (tend to) loose contact with their own sense of direction.
- Feel that they are missing out on something essential in life by carrying on the way they do.

When we move our bodies with attention, we open up to a different way of 'knowing' and 'undoing'. In these trainings and classes I offer a safe environment to explore collaboration with your body and the bodies of others.
Especially for people who:
- Want to deepen the connection with their body.
- Are curious about human movement and interaction.
- Want to explore physical collaboration with others in a safe context.
- Look for a body practice bringing together elements of martial arts, dance and sport.
- Want to enrich their (sports) movement skills with new input.
Care and support that moves with you
Everyone faces challenges in life: Sometimes you long for a major change, sometimes you suddenly find yourself in trouble, and sometimes you have a hard time recovering from an intense experience.
As a former professional dancer, Somatic Experience / SOMA practitioner and personal coach, I know first-hand how differently people and their bodies can respond to the wide range of experiences life can offer.
I have come to believe that every-body has the capacity to recover from what has been overwhelming, and in that very process, we find our humaness as life itself takes on a deeper meaning.
With respect for you and your experiences, I offer different ways to heal and deepen the connection with yourself, others and life - individually or in a group.
It is my pleasure to guide you with attention and competence towards the things that are truly important to you. May weight and lightness both have a place in life.

Every-body is different and all have a story to tell
Some people dive right in, others want to orient themselves, and still others look for interpretation after it all.
These articles can help you gain more insight into (working with) your body and how it can be a source of healing, connection and joy.
