I have created this website to be a calm environment amidst all the shouting that happens on the internet. Because I know that your nervous system is already overwhelmed enough as it is, I want this to be a safe space where you can explore your healing journey.💚

You can still find a lot of information here, and please browse through it at your own pace if you want to. If that feels like too much, I invite you to simply book that complimentary Discovery Session with me and I will take some time with you to explore what would help you most.

I want to take a moment to share something personal with you. And I hope it will inspire you and give you hope, because you deserve to feel better too!

My Story:
“For almost two decades I suffered from severe chronic pain and fatigue. It started with a mysterious viral infection. I was only 25 years old, and before the illness hit me I was active, fit and healthy. From one day to the next it felt like every cell in my body was utterly exhausted. I lived between the couch and my bed for 4 long months and I could do nothing but stare at the ceiling. It was quite terrifying, because nobody seemed to be able to help me or even explain what was happening to me.

I got better after that but I never seemed to fully recover. Chronic pain and fatigue became an integral part of my life. The term ‘long covid’ didn’t yet exist but the reality is that this kind of thing can happen with other viruses too. I now believe this virus wasn’t the only factor contributing to my pain though.

We are complex beings and everything of me that I was when I entered this situation determined how my body responded. And equally, everything that happened afterwards determined whether I would be on a path of healing, stagnation or decline.

For a long time I was on a path of decline. I remember moments where my arms hurt too much to be able to brush my teeth… I remember not being able to sleep because I couldn’t find a position where I was not in pain… I remember feeling lonely and depressed because I didn’t know how to communicate what I was going through and I hid it all behind a smile…

An accident that caused Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD was the final blow for me. My visual and cognitive processing systems were severely affected and I felt like I had now lost the little functionality I still had in me. I was back to staring at the ceiling, only this time I couldn’t even keep it in focus. The world was spinning… And to make matters even worse, I started reliving all the traumatic events from my life that had been securely stored away…

Part of me felt like I had to give up and accept that I had to live the rest of my life in misery but another part of me said no to that. I began to listen to that part. I started spending a lot of time outside and I discovered that being in my garden had a very positive effect on my state of being. Slowly but surely I started a journey of recovery. But it was more then that, with the help from a therapist and many others, I started to transform and grow beyond what I thought was possible. Post traumatic growth is real!

A lot has changed since I made a conscious choice to be on a path of healing and transformation. My pain has eased considerably and my energy levels have much improved. My mental health has improved a lot too. Mental and physical health are not separate but intertwined as part of the complex beings that we are.

The fascinating beauty of our complex systems is that they are incredibly powerful. Unfortunately we don’t usually learn how to harnass that power and more often then not we fall victim to it.

But once we accept that it doesn’t have to be that way, that we do have a choice in which path we want to be on and on how we want to experience our world, we can begin to tap into that power. Step by step we can begin to reset our nervous system and rewire our neural pathways and the positive consequences will baffle you. And at the same time they won’t, because you will know that this is how you were always meant to be. It feels like coming home.

💚Dear soul, would you like to come home to yourself? Get rid of all the heaviness that you are carrying around in your system? It doesn’t belong to you.💚

I know it might be hard to believe in the possibilities of this, from where you are right now. I understand. It took me a long time to get my head around it. But something inside me pushed me in this direction. I really didn’t want to be in that dark place any longer. What did I have to lose? And so I chose a path of healing. Tentatively at first, and then with more and more conviction as the right people started showing up in my life who could help me. People who had mastered the art of making this choice, of connecting with that inner power, of shedding all that was no longer useful to them, the path not only of healing but of personal growth, even the art of tapping into the power of something bigger then themselves. I have learned so much from them, and I continue to do so. And as I heal and grow, I keep encountering new beings that help me on my next step.

I am fascinated by the ‘miracles’ that occur in this work

I continue to be fascinated by the changes that can occur as I do this work, in myself and in my clients.

Check out this example from my personal experience:

For as long a I can remember I have always been very stiff in my body. One thing I couldn’t really do was twist my spine. I was doing some deep inner work around my early childhood programming with a Clinical EFT practitioner. The next day it was as if a miracle had occurred! Suddenly I experienced a massive increase in the flexibility of my spine. And with a much greater sense of ease too! It’s truly incredible, but it’s real, and it feels so good!
Would it ever have occurred to me or anyone else that these two things were related? That this is where my body had stored this particular trauma?
Of course not. Each of our bodies is unique and the path of discovery is amazing. You never know what positive side effects you may experience when you do this work!

I’ve studied psychology when I was young because I had always wanted to understand how the human brain works and why people act the way they do. But everything I’ve learned in the last decade has given me so much more clarity on this topic. And not only on understanding the how and why but also on how to make the changes you are yearning for and on the unlimited possibilities that await you.

If you are still reading, I know you are intrigued too!

If you are still reading, I know you are intrigued too. Perhaps tentatively, like I was at first, possibly with a good dose of skepticism. That’s okay. It’s all part of the journey.
Or perhaps you are already convinced and ready to go. That’s great!
Either way, I wish you all the best on your journey, like I said at the beginning: you deserve to feel better too!

And I am here for you if you would like my support!
