PRIVATE PRACTICE
If you get stuck doing the same moves all the time, do them more and get really interested.

Personal Facilitation
There are times when you feel too long in a bad skin, when things are not moving forward in your personal or professional life, or when major changes are on the horizon. Personal faciliation allows time and attention to step back and re-orientate yourself. Within this process there is attention for your wishes and desires in lives, as well as your history, daily life context and correlating patterns through time.
I work in the tradition of the Bambu Centre for Awareness, which means that I offer you involved and humane facilitation. If you wish, we can also include the physical and spiritual aspects of your process. I draw on sources including developmental psychology, transactional analysis, choice theory, systemic work, character structures and my experience as a trauma practitioner.
In all of this, your question guides the process that we shape in dialogue. I search with you for where your 'yes' and 'energy' start to flow and build up resources to formulate a 'no' if necesarry. Sometimes the work is fast and light, sometimes slower and deeper, but always with a human touch and respect for life's processes.
My facilitation work is trauma-informed and can be applied to individual cases and group developmental processes.
Facilitation Trajectory
A typical facilitation trajectory has three phases. In the first phase, we get to know each other and reflect on the question that will guide the way, but there is also a focus on relevant episodes from your history, (acquiring) resources and identifying challenges you are experiencing. We explore, so to say, the landscape in which your life's journey has taken shape and how it has led your situation in the present. We also determine in dialogue which area (or 'question') we will focus on.
We then use conversation, experiential methods and (self-) observation to explore which parts of the terrain may be out of focus (shadows), but also where movement, energy and enthusiasm are available or stagnating. This provides you with a more diverse perspective on your current situation and promote the (figurative and literal) space to breath and find movement. In this phase we also explore how (small) changes in your awareness, behaviour and perception affect you and your environment. The terrain becomes more defined, more colourful, and you discover different paths. This is also the phase in which you can feel happy and relieved after a session and touched or unsettled in after another.
Although we always keep your initial question in mind and adjust the course of the sessions accordingly, it often happens that as your experience enriches, your question 'dissolves' into the landscape. This is naturally the moment when further integration into your daily life will strengthen your development. New paths become established as you walk them regularly, and often your view on 'the landscape of your life' changes. Sometimes a new, next question or area to explore also unfolds during this last phase.
Offer
1:1 sessions
We have regular sessions at my practice, online or (on request only) at your workplace. A session lasts a minimum of 45 minutes and a maximum of 90 minutes.
Groups
For groups of 4-20 participants, I offer on-demand programmes and workshops from an afternoon to a multi-day. Group sessions last 2 hours or longer, depending on the nature of the topic and the group. An introductory meeting or training is available.
Personal Facilitation in Motion
For groups it is also possible to combine facilition work with Life in Motion modules. This provides groupthemes and issues with a whole new perspective, combining insight, fun and deeper non-verbal learning all together. Especially suitable for teams younger members and groups that benefit from a diverse and varied learning offering. An introductory meeting or training is available.
Corporate & ngo
Based on my fast experience in leading small organisations, project management and selection procedures, I also offer my facilitation services to companies, public authorities and non-profit organisations (culture and education). I can work independently or as part of a (project) team on selection, team communication, team development and internal- and external process evaluation. Please contact me with your inquiry.
