Spiralling Life
somatic ecotherapy
Somatic ecotherapy reconnects the stories of our minds with the wisdom in our bodies and ecosystems. I guide you in exploring your inner voices to find orientation in times of transition, in realising the potential for transformation within you personally and together with those you care about.
In working with me, you re-energize yourself from somatic sources and the vast web of life.
I am a certified neurocognitive somatic coach, a master in sociology and a psychotherapist in training. My working languages are English, German, French and Dutch. Find more details about my training and professional experience here.
Welcome to Spiralling Life!

How I work
- My trauma-sensitive space puts your sense of security at the center.
- We strengthen your inner resources and healthy habits: neurological pathways intensify to increase your integrity.
- Your reaction to stress and conflict dynamics improve through increased capacity for self-regulation and self-knowledge.
- We explore your attachment patterns to strengthen healthy boundaries and cultivate satisfying relationships.
- This work supports partners in becoming more emotionally autonomous and more connected by increasing mutual trust, understanding and acknowledgement.
- I work with visualisation, somatic exploration and movement practices.
- With inner-parts-work I guide you in a systemic exploration of the diverse voices within you towards a respectful cooperation as a wholesome organism.
- I offer you deep generative listening and structured mirroring to catalyze your process.
I accompany you
in reconnecting to yourself
You feel overwhelmed or disoriented and you suffer from similar situations over and over again? I accompany you on a path of self-discovery and stabilization. You practice to regulate your moods, emotions and reflexes. Your sensations and universe of meaning guide the therapeutic process. I support you with somatic experiencing, visualisation techniques and embodiment practices according to your needs and situation. Work with me to let your source energy flow and embody your purpose and right livelihood.
in relationship challenges
As humans, our uniqueness makes us attractive to each other and fall in love. And then, one’s very own way of functioning becomes the source of conflict. In my practice, you as a couple will develop a common frame of understanding. Based on this, when challenged or triggered, you will be able to respond from integrity, from what you hold dear. Through this somatic therapeutic process, complicity can resurge, intimacy can deepen and compassion can expand.
becoming parents
A blessing is on its way to you and you want to connect deeply about what that means. I guide you in exploring what matters to you in your new life as parents. I facilitate your common understanding on how you want to prepare and experience the different phases of this transition (before, during and after birth). Here you can develop your own answers to how to take care of your unborn and newborn to nurture secure attachment and ensure the wellbeing of you all.
in transition processes and rituals
Life provides strong thresholds. They can last long or be sudden. I accompany you through grappling with such inner and outer change in your own rhythm. We strengthen your values and resources, so that you can orient yourself. I support you in adopting habits and daily practices which strengthen and guide you through transition. And we co-create ritual to prepare or digest the change.

Workshops and Courses
- Somatic Emotional Regulation
- The Art of inner Energizing
- Meeting your inner Diversity
Somatic Emotional Regulation
Learn the basics of how to go to an inner state of calm or contentment. Practice and exchange with others to share inspiration and motivation. Dive into exploring what works for you. And feel aligned with your body to sustain your capacity for wellbeing in challenging situations.
The Art of inner Energizing
This is time for you. Explore the depths of what carries you in life, what weighs you down and how to rise. Thanks to witnessing each other, we see ourselves more clearly. We practice embracing what weighs us down, so that it can show itself in a new light. Here you learn to nourish and expand your bodily sensation of well-being, vital energy and joy for life.
Meeting your inner Diversity
Meet yourself in the rich diversity that makes you whole. By shining a light on the diverse voices alive in us, we get a sense of the multi-layeredness of being human. The experiences that the bodies of our ancestors went through influence the voices we carry in us. In the vein of decolonial ecofeminist liberation, we explore how we are shaped by societal and historical influences. We consider the alliances that the voices of our body and mind enter into. By being seen we touch our wholeness. This course deepens your path of personal and intergenerational liberation from historical oppressions and current injustices.
