Amsterdam Brainspotting

25/03/2026

Brainspotting was developed by David Grand in 2003. It works by identifying areas in your brain where emotional tension and trauma are stored. By focusing on specific eye positions—called brainspots—and paying attention to your body, we can allow your nervous system to release deeply held tension and blocked emotions.

It is body-oriented: your sensations guide the work.

It is mostly non-verbal: much of the healing happens without words.

It can be used alongside other therapy sessions, like individual sessions that include focusing, creative explorations and bioenergetics.

Unlike talk therapy alone, Brainspotting works deeply with the connection between body and mind, helping your brain access its natural ability to heal itself.

It helps access and release unprocessed emotions, trauma, and stress by using the brain–body connection.
Using a point in the visual field, we allow the brain to process stuck energy. Physical sensations, memories, insights and emotions may move through in order to create space in the system.

Brainspotting can help lower anxiety, improve focus, soften self-criticism, enhance emotional resilience and release physical tensions. 𝐈𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡.

I have decided to bring the Mindfulness course back to life. A course that I've given many times in the past (well before covid). But now it is time to bring an updated version. No more forceful sitting still and meditating, but finding a natural way of meditation through simple presence, curiosity, and embodiment. I would love to meet you in this intimate group - whether you have a lot or a little experience with meditation (or none at all), it promises to be a cosy get together for 6 weeks. 🥰 Check my website or fb profile for more info

Like so often with complex processes, it took a little longer than expected - and even though there will always still be some things to tweak - I am 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 to you today.
Please have a look at it, and scroll down in this newsletter (see link) if you'd like to know more about the incredible method I am working with.

Behind the scenes I am also creating many group offerings to come in the new year, because so much magic happens in groups. You get more time, more practical work, deeper learning and the best thing is the humbling and comforting realization that we're all in this beautiful messy human experience together!

Christmas is approaching, and many are already enjoying their holidays.

Healing begins with presence, compassion, and curiosity. During sessions I will often guide people away from overthinking and analyzing and towards a deeper experience - the body and the inner worlds... That is where feelings, emotions and also deeper knowledge and intuitions live.

FIND PEACE WITHIN

We live in times where peace and justice in the outer world cannot be taken for granted. Crisis, conflict and injustice touch us all in different ways.

And yet—amidst what we cannot control—there is one place we can return to: our own inner ground.

Finding peace within doesn’t mean ignoring what’s happening outside. It means meeting it with steadiness, presence, and compassion—so we don’t get engulfed by the noise.

When we carry peace inside, we can become ripples of grounding, compassion and peace in a restless world. Staying awake to our True Nature - which is the Unity of Being - is a necessary ingredient for peace - inner and outer.

STAY CURIOUS🔍🤓😍

One of the most precious things I’ve never let go of is childlike curiosity.

Fifteen years ago, during my Holistic Coaching studies, my teacher constantly reminded us to stay boundlessly curious. I immediately knew—this was my path.

As a coach and therapist, I bring that same genuine curiosity into the sessions. I really want to understand your inner world, and I’ll often invite you to be just as curious about yourself. Because it’s in that deep exploration that new insights arise. And from there, awareness grows, healing might unfold and/or new choices become possible.
Are you ready to explore yourself with curiosity and compassion?

🔎DISCOVER
Not everything that’s hidden needs to stay buried.
There are parts of you—vulnerable, wild, deep—
waiting to come to the surface. Will you look and then allow them to be seen?
To discover is to meet yourself with a beginners mind and loving kindness 💕
Gently. Curiously.
What in you is ready to be uncovered?

TAKE A BREAK

Sometimes the path to peace is simply about pausing.
Walking this lush green path, with the windmill turning in the background, I’m reminded of how nature invites us to slow down — to return to the rhythm of breath, body, and being.

In my sessions, we also pause.
At the beginning of a session we will often first take some time to really ARRIVE.
And sometimes during the session we pause, process, integrate.

If you’ve been feeling tense, overwhelmed, or disconnected — maybe it’s time for your own path back to calm.

I offer 1-on-1 sessions that help you reconnect through relaxation, emotional awareness, and bodywork.

Let's walk this path together 😉
