1-on-1 Coaching

In 1-on-1 coaching sessions, I work from a body-oriented approach, because the body always has valuable information to share. Often, throughout our lives, we lose the connection with our body. We might feel, at times (or often, or always), like a “walking head”. It can become difficult – or even impossible – to find rest and relaxation. This disconnection can arise from stress, but also from traumatic experiences or chronic physical complaints and illnesses. In such cases, feeling into the body can become so uncomfortable or even unsafe that we “shut off” our ability to feel, doing so as a form of self-protection.

With body-oriented coaching, you will learn to listen more deeply to (the signals of) your own body and reconnect with what is happening within. From a place of groundedness in yourself, you will learn to navigate stress, tension and emotions and regulate yourself in a gentle, supportive way. Over time, you’ll discover more and more what it feels like to be rooted in rest.

I work holistically and draw upon a variety of methods, depending on what is needed in the moment. My approach is inspired by nature, systemic work, body-oriented somatic exercises, breath awareness, Yoga Nidra, Co-Meditation Dyads and transactional analysis. I enjoy incorporating creative methods, such as drawing, painting, using the voice, or engaging in theatre. If needed, we may also explore your lifestyle together, including aspects like nutrition and sleep. However, remember that you are always in charge. You know best what serves you in each moment. Everything is invitational, and we can explore these paths together if it feels right for you.
