Bodywork Therapy for Healing, Personal Development and Creating Meaning and Purpose Door diepe sensitieve aanraking werken we aan de oorzaak van de pijn.

Lichaamsgeoriënteerde therapie is een proces dat de intieme relatie tussen het menselijk lichaam en het psychisch welbevinden erkent. In het proces van de therapie wordt de cliënt uitgenodigd, om oude overtuigingen en conclusies los te laten en steeds meer te worden, wie hij/zij in wezen is. Waar negatieve patronen, blokkades of andere gebeurtenissen (zoals trauma, relatiecrisis, ziekte en/of verlieservaring) in de weg staan en het gezonde emotionele evenwicht stoort, helpt de therapie om (weer) vertrouwen in eigen kwaliteiten, ervaringen en gevoelens te hebben. Dit creëert ruimte om nieuwe vaardigheden te leren en betere denkwijzen aan te nemen. Hierdoor ben je meer in staat keuzes te maken en acties te ondernemen die jouw doelen verwezenlijken. MER (Myofascial Energetic Release) is een vorm van diepe weefselmassage die werkt met de myo- (spieren) en fascia (bindweefsel). Een deel van de behandeling kan ook adem-werk, joint release, geassisteerde stretches en emotioneel werk omvatten. Als de verkrampte spieren en het bindweefsel ontspant, kijken wij ook naar de verschillende factoren die de spasmes veroorzaken, zoals emotionele repressie, negatieve overtuigingen en disfunctionele gewoontes en gedrag. Meer kennis opdoen is een belangrijk onderdeel van het genezen van chronische pijn. De effecten zijn divers. Spanning in lichaam en geest wordt losgelaten. Je zult minder last hebben van lichaamspijn veroorzaakt door verkramping en een verkeerde houding. Door meer in contact te komen met je lichaam ontstaat een groter lichaamsbewustzijn. Daardoor kan je beter je eigen emoties waarnemen en je eigen energie beheren. Hedendaagse wetenschappelijke inzichten rondom hersenontwikkeling en ontwikkelingspsychologie bevestigen het verband tussen lichaamsbewustzijn en emotionele welzijn.

Most training focuses on strength and endurance.
Yet there’s another system quietly shaping how you move, transmit force, and recover.

Fascia.

It connects muscles, stabilizes joints, stores elastic energy, and helps movements feel smooth instead of forced.

When fascia is hydrated, elastic, and responsive, power flows efficiently through the whole body.

When it’s restricted or overloaded, strength leaks away and injuries show up faster.

Athletic performance depends on:
• coordination, not just strength
• elasticity, not just force
• whole-body integration, not isolated muscle work

This is why athletes who include fascia-aware movement, breath, and recovery often feel:
• lighter
• more resilient
• more efficient in their effort

Train muscles.
Care for fascia.
Move as one integrated system.

Alright, a small shift - and a good one.

I’m simplifying where I show up online.
More real connection.

Same work. Same hands. Same curiosity.
Just a clearer direction and more space to interact.

Come join us there.
Follow along, jump into the conversation, see what’s coming.

On True North Bodywork, you’ll find trainings, upcoming steps, and ongoing inspiration - movement, exercises, and reflections connecting body and mind.

Let’s keep moving - together.

The holidays can activate old patterns held deep in the tissues.
Memories live in more than the mind - they are carried in tension, breath, posture, and subtle holding.

When something stirs, it’s an invitation to listen.
To slow down.
To feel where the body is asking for support.

Rewriting holiday memories begins through experience, not effort.
A small, safe action can soften long-held contraction.
A gentle walk that lets the hips swing.
A pause to sense the feet on the ground.
A breath that spreads quietly through the chest and belly.

As the fascia softens, the nervous system learns something new:
this moment can feel different.
There is choice here.
There is space.

You don’t need to force release.
You allow it - through presence, touch, breath, and time.

Each nurturing moment creates a new imprint.
One of safety, support, and ease.

Move gently.
Trust the intelligence of your body.
New memories form as the tissues learn to let go. 🤍

Posture is often treated as something that is wrong and needs to be corrected. Sit straighter, stand better, hold yourself properly. From the body’s point of view, posture is not a mistake. It is a strategy.

The way someone stands or sits develops over time in response to life demands, emotional states, stress, work habits, injuries, and repetitive movements.

Fascia adapts to these conditions by organizing tension in a way that supports what the body needs to handle. This means posture is the result of intelligent adaptation, not poor behavior.

When posture is forced into a “correct” position, the body often responds with more tension. The underlying fascial tone that created the posture remains unchanged, so the new position feels tiring or unstable and quickly collapses.

Change happens when the body is supported to reorganize from the inside. Gentle movement, awareness, breath, and gradual variation allow fascial tone to adjust naturally. As the tissue adapts, posture shifts on its own, without being imposed.

Instead of asking how to fix posture, it can be more useful to ask what the body has been adapting to. When that question is explored with respect, posture becomes a doorway to understanding rather than a problem to solve.

𝐀 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭!

Elbow Curls are one of those exercises that look easy… and then gently wake up places that have been asleep for a while 😄
Especially around the shoulders and upper back.

This movement helps the shoulders remember how naturally they are meant to move -smooth, coordinated and free.
Perfect if your days include screens, sitting, or a lot of forward focus.

Go slow, stay present, and let the range of motion grow over time.
A few mindful repetitions can already create a sense of space and ease.

Your shoulders often respond with gratitude.
Give it a try and notice what changes.

When the chest and diaphragm stay tight, the body adapts in clever but exhausting ways. Shoulders lift, the spine compensates, movement loses ease, and breathing becomes shallow without us even noticing.

What often feels like a back or shoulder issue begins where breath and posture meet.

The diaphragm is more than a breathing muscle. It supports posture, coordinates movement, and helps the body feel grounded. When it softens, space returns, breath deepens, and movement feels more natural.

In the Original Face module of Myofascial Energetic Release, we work with the chest, diaphragm, neck, and face to release long-held patterns that shape how we breathe, move, and express ourselves.

The work is slow, precise, and deeply listening - inviting change from the inside out.

Often, restoring movement starts with restoring breath.

Join us for a friendly, hands-on two-day introduction to a deeply embodied way of working with fascia, touch, breath, and awareness.

MER weaves together precise myofascial techniques with energetic sensitivity and nervous system awareness. It offers a way of working that supports deep release, restores natural flow, and invites more ease, presence, and connection - within yourself and in your work with others.

This weekend is about direct experience. You will feel the work in your own system, explore practical techniques, and discover how slow, attentive touch can create meaningful and lasting change.

For many, the first encounter with MER becomes a pivotal moment,
a shift in how they understand the body, tension, and healing.
A clear “yes” that opens new perspectives, skills, and confidence.

If you are a bodyworker, therapist, movement practitioner, or simply drawn to conscious, intelligent touch, this workshop can become one of those choices that stays with you for life.

Every time I teach MER, I’m reminded how quickly people light up when they feel what fascia work can do.

There’s curiosity, there’s surprise, and there’s this moment of, “Oh… so this is how my body can move and breathe.”

In January, Ulla and I are bringing that same energy to London - two days of learning, practicing and discovering how MER can support your work or your own body.

It’s hands-on, it’s practical and it’s a lot of fun to explore together.

24–25 January, London.
If you’ve been wanting a fresh start or a new skill in 2026, this might be it.
We would love to see you there!

Give your upper back and neck a moment of real care.

This simple Standing Overhead Extension helps your whole structure settle, open, and realign. It gently reminds your body how natural it feels to work with gravity, not against it.

When you create length in your spine and space in your ribcage, your breath flows easier, your posture lightens, and your energy shifts. Such a small move… yet your body feels the difference right away.

Take a minute for yourself. Let your system reset. Breathe well.
Let me know how it felt!

Our Story

Postural Integration (PI) is een psychotherapeutische behandelingswijze die de houding van het lichaam (in het Engels: ‘posture’) als uitgangspunt neemt. Je lichaam weerspiegelt je attitudes en geeft veel informatie over je levensgeschiedenis. Door manuele bewerking van het lichaam, in combinatie met psychotherapeutische begeleiding, worden in Postural Integration psychische en lichamelijke klachten verholpen. In de therapie wordt ook gebruik gemaakt van deep tissue massage en Egoscue houdings-oefeningen.
