The body \u2013 the beginning of your journey back to yourself\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

My work is based on a holistic, body-oriented approach that combines knowledge from yoga therapy, somatic practice and current scientific findings on the impact of movement, breath and awareness on the nervous system and general well-being.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

About the approach<\/p>\n

I support people facing various challenges of modern life \u2013 chronic illnesses, exhaustion, emotional stress, pain, burnout \u2013 as well as those who want to deepen their connection with themselves and develop a relationship with their body as a tool for balance and renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n

I work with individuals who are looking for gentle yet professional complementary support that does not replace medical or psychological treatment, but rather complements it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Yoga therapy is a personalized approach to yoga based on an understanding of human complexity \u2013 physical, emotional and mental. It is designed to support individuals who wish to access their sources of strength, stability and relaxation through a safe, gradual and thoughtful practice.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is suitable for people with <\/span>chronic pain, <\/span>sleep problems, <\/span>anxiety, stress, feelings of overload, experiences of illness or recovery from surgery,<\/span> with autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders<\/span> and for anyone who wants to work preventively and connect more deeply with themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The somatic approach focuses on the body as a living, sentient system that stores experiences and responses to the world. Through mindful movement, feeling bodily sensations, and breathing exercises, we explore <\/span><\/strong>how the body stores tension and emotions, <\/span>how it responds to stress and trauma <\/span>and how we can create conditions for more safety, presence, and balance through mindfulness and movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This approach draws on insights from somatic psychology, neuroscience (Porges, Levine, Dana), and mindfulness practice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    About me<\/span><\/p>\n

    My journey began more than fifteen years ago with yoga, which gradually led me from physical exercise to a holistic understanding of the body and the person - on a physical, emotional and mental level. During a time of personal transformation and the search for inner balance, I began to understand through the body how deeply our life experiences, emotions and stories are written in it. Through years of personal therapeutic experience, I have developed a sensitivity to the body as a space where unexpressed emotions, stresses and unprocessed experiences are also stored. This understanding led me to an in-depth study of yoga therapy, somatic practices and an embodied approach to working with people. I am a certified yoga therapist (Yoga Therapy Institute Amsterdam, IAYT accredited program) with more than a decade of experience in the field of yoga, mindfulness and body-oriented approaches. I am also a certified somatic healing practitioner, based on modern scientific findings on the impact of bodily experience on recovery from trauma, chronic stress and burnout. In my work, I combine knowledge from yoga, psychology, basic medicine, somatics and the latest research on the nervous system. I believe in the body as an ally \u2013 as a space of wisdom, insight and self-healing potentials that develop through movement, breath, gentle presence and a gradual return to oneself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    I am happy to make arrangements for free 30-minute call or video call<\/strong>, where we can explore your needs and intentions together and see if we're a good fit.<\/p>\n

    If we feel a common path, the first meeting follows. In the conversation, we focus on your current state - physical and emotional challenges, your goals and the broader background. On this basis, we together shape a way of working that supports you - your rhythm, needs and the state you are in.<\/p>\n

    Meetings are held in person or remotely and provide a safe space for exploration.<\/p>\n
