private sessions

Sometimes you find yourself blocked by something from the past or held back by a strong belief you can’t seem to free yourself from. It can feel like an old way of being that no longer serves you.

Often, the body reflects these blockages as pain or tension.

Exploring these physical manifestations can be liberating, because it allows you to move on and find more freedom in your everyday life again.

Your body serves as a compass throughout this process — it’s where all the answers reside.

Sessions can be held on Zoom or at my practice in Amsterdam.

What does a session look like?

During a session, I use somatic exercises to help you develop greater awareness of your body and nervous system. This increased awareness enables you to understand your own patterns and release tension. You’ll also learn techniques to bring yourself into states of safety and regulation.

Each session is customized to your needs but generally includes:

  • Foundational theory to help you understand your nervous system

  • Writing exercises

  • Gentle movement and stretches

  • Somatic meditation

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SOMATIC GUIDANCE?

These sessions are designed for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their body.

They are particularly effective for:

  • Those who often feel stuck in a ‘freeze’ state.

  • Individuals experiencing anxiety or depression who want to explore the physical dimensions of these issues.

  • People who feel disconnected from their bodies and spend most of their time ‘in their heads’.

BENEFITS OF SOMATIC GUIDANCE

  • Increased resilience and reduced physical pain

  • Less emotional overwhelm

  • Greater confidence and ease in your own body

  • Deeper connections with others
