Education & Insights |
Education & Influences![]() The first seeds of increased sensitivity and body awareness had been sown when I started practicing Tai Chi. Another important impulse came in the form of the Enneagram in 2002. The next logical step was to study the philosophy of Crazy Wisdom teacher G.I. Gurdjieff and to practice his Movements. Around this time I also started doing Chi Neng Qi Gong. In the intensive period of study and (personal) development that followed, I was forced to take a long hard look at all ideas I had about myself and people around me. Essential Coaching really helped me during this time, so I decided to start working as a Coach myself. In 2004, I completed my studies and became a certified Essential Coach. In addition, I completed my Shiatsu Massage studies in 2005 and became a licensed Shiatsu Therapist in 2007. In the same year I also became a certified Healing Arts Therapist (Liquid Lights Frequencies).
In the meantime, I had also rediscovered my passion for music. During my childhood & teens, I played the piano for 15 years. I started taking singing lessons in 2005. In 2015 I suddenly felt like learning to play the guitar. I cannot but marvel at the profound effects music, sound and vibrations can have on our thoughts, feelings and our bodies and whenever possible, I try to incorporate this in my work. Along the way, I also became a mother in 2008, to a beautiful, strong-willed daughter. It probably comes as no surprise that this has given more than enough material and opportunities for spiritual growth. Participating in a week of Intensive Primal Therapy in 2014 finally helped me to relax some deep-seated childhood issues. The work of Abraham-Hicks (Law of Attraction) has been a great source of inspiration for many years. In 2010 my (childhood) dream of becoming a writer became active again, so I stared writing short stories and blogs. I have also come more in contact with my own sensitivity and intuition. Inspired, amongst others, by David Deida I am practicing to let go of all preconceptions about what is needed or what is supposed to happen, so that I can be open for inspiration and surrender to life and the unexpected. Lessons learned (so far)![]()
