About my
way of working

In my work, I am at eye level with my clients. I have a deep appreciation for the process that is allowed to emerge. It is the joint walking of a path whose goal is determined by my client. I bring expertise and experience to the table so that we can determine together how to make this journey a good one. At the challenging points I stand by with support and impulses, so that my clients are supported in their self-efficacy and empowerment without having to carry an impossible load alone.

In most overwhelming situations that is exactly the problem: everything happens so fast that the brain may just about be able to keep up (if at all), but the body has no time to process what it has experienced. Therefore, when dealing with traumatic and overwhelming events, we proceed slowly and in small steps, so that the body has time to process them without reliving the former overwhelm.


Here, working with the nervous system and the body's natural impulses, which are fundamentally helpful in their original intent, is central for me: to return to your body, to develop more capacity for the things that belong to life (both challenges and joy and relaxation). To bring the energy bound in the body from events of the past back into flow, so that it can be available in the here and now, is a philosophy extends to all areas of my work spectrum.


To gain more regulation of your nervous system is not only helpful for the current "problem", but an ability that will also be available as a resource in your future life.

I am deeply convinced that humans have all the necessary abilities and resources needed to cope with even extreme situations already inside of them. However, some situations are so difficult or the resources too far out of sight (or not yet strong enough) that a little support is required to find, see and use them. I am glad about every person with whom I am allowed to go on this wonderful journey of discovery together.


A big part of my work is to provide and hold the space where people are allowed to turn to themselves - with curiosity, empathy and joy.



It is your path – I am glad to walk

alongside you!
