This program is available for both Dutch and English speaking persons. 

In the sessions we will work together to discover what you need right now and what is an effective way to do and get it. We can also use creative, mindfulness or breathing exercises, but you will do those mainly at home or in nature.

We tune in to your needs. So please express what you prefer. If something does not work, we try it in a different way. Trying and testing is definitely part of it. Together we also figure out how you can practice this in the weeks between sessions.

Practically speaking, it is necessary to set the times of the sessions in your calendar. We do this together at the start of the program. Per session we can plan together the moments to practice in the weeks between sessions. You can alternate small, short moments (of a few minutes per day) with longer moments per week (for example fifteen minutes, half an hour or an hour).

Although it will take some getting used to, you will notice that the time you spend on this will bring benefits at other times in life. For example, you will be more rested, have more energy or have more fun. This has a positive impact on everything else you have to do.
Just as you would like to take good care of others, you deserve this for yourself. The advantage is that it is 1-to-1 guidance. We can therefore tailor to your personal situation.

I graduated from Leiden University in Pedagogical Sciences with additional courses in psychology, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (and am a member of the necessary professional association NVO) and I am therefore qualified to guide, help and coach children, adolescents and adults.

However, this program is not therapy and can also not replace it. At this moment I do not give any treatment or therapy. For this I would like to refer you to my colleagues who do still offer this or your general practitioner.

The program uses elements from mindfulness, but it is not a full 8 week mindfulness program.

The yoga / eco nidras are created by myself. I am an officially certified yoga nidra facilitator (Yoga Alliance) and certified EcoNidra facilitator.

The creative exercises are designed to let you be creative. To find what suits you and what makes you happy. To explore how you can find rest and joy in creativity. It is not a technical drawing/painting/…etc course.

This depends on availability at the time you sign up for the free exploratory meeting. If there is no availability, you will see a button to register for the waiting list.

We use the orientation meeting, among other things, to see if the program fits. If you still have doubts whether you want this, it sometimes helps to write down what you are uncertain about and where that might come from.

Healthy tension is actually quite normal. Sometimes, however, it is not (yet) the moment to start the process. We can always talk about this during our exploratory talk.

After we decide that you can start the program, I will make sure you get all you need. For the payments you can use a creditcard, Paypal or if in the Netherlands there is the possibility to pay by using IDEAL.

If paying in full is a problem. You have the option to pay in two installments. The second installment must be paid halfway through the program.

We will not start the program until the (first) payment has been made. In case of a payment in two parts, the second part will only start after the second payment.

A single session can only be paid in full.

You buy the full program of 2 months.

If there are exceptional circumstances (such as serious illness, family circumstances, etc), then we will discuss the best solution together.

For the sessions itself:
For good continuity I advise you to come to the appointments, this is a nice way to practice self-care.
Please make sure you have the live sessions locked in your calender. We plan them at the start of the program together.
In case of  illness. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance you will unfortunately not get a refund / cannot reschedule the session.
When there is an emergency I decide on a case by case basis depending on what it is exactly.

In the guidance I tune in to what you think you need and what will suit you. We always evaluate in the next session what worked and what didn’t work. If, despite this, you start to feel dissatisfied, please discuss this with me immediately, so we can make adjustments where necessary. Together we will surely find a solution.

At this moment I only work with women of 18 years and older in my 1 on 1 programs.
