I'm born and I live in Amsterdam. I’m passionate about re-sensitizing and trusting my body, to follow her innate wisdom. Yet it’s not something I have learned while growing up. How to listen to my pain?
When I finished the art academy in 2009 I was feeling confused, insecure and too afraid to create anything…
I started practicing and teaching Yoga & Meditation. That brought a big shift in the relationship I had with my body; for the first time I started to hear her, notice how she was constantly talking to me. I became more aware of my thoughts too, that was confronting! The way I talked to myself created so much pain: “You are so stupid”, “Again you didn’t finish your to-do list!”, "You are too insecure" etc.
When I met NVC (Nonviolent Communication) in 2014 I had a profound experience: “Life is not about feeling good. Instead my feelings are there to care for me.”
This brought a sense of I don't need to change, I’m welcome as I’m, exactly how I am right now.
NVC gave me the tools and manual to life that I was unconsciously longing for.
For me it's building the bridge from my judgemental mind to my heart and shows me how to live the love that is in my heart in day to day situations and in the heat of the moment.
This clarity is making my life worth living, supporting me in daily in connection with my children, my partner and myself! And of course anyone else that I have an encounter with.
