Sandra | Body-oriented (psycho)therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR

Introduction

Restoring balance between feeling and thinking

Does life sometimes feel as though it has lost its sparkle? As if you’re going through the motions, yet missing a true sense of aliveness? Perhaps you’ve already tried many ways to break through that feeling of emptiness, and still sense that something deeper is possible.

Imagine being fully present in your own life again. Making decisions guided by your inner compass, with clarity and confidence. In my practice in Heemstede, I support women who long for greater depth, connection and balance in their personal growth.

Your body as a gateway to change

Our bodies carry memories, even when we believe we have left them behind. Through Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, breathwork and conscious slowing down, we gently explore together what your body is holding and longing to express.

You will learn to release tension, give space to emotions, and restore the natural harmony between feeling and thinking.

In my sessions, everything is welcome: joy as well as pain, strength as well as vulnerability. We work not only through conversation, but primarily with what you experience and feel in the present moment. In this way, movement and change can emerge in places where you may have felt stuck for a long time.

Nicolette’s experience

“It was a profound experience to truly feel my own words, and to find the words for what I was feeling inside. Sandra’s guidance was gentle, supportive and free from judgement. The exercises helped me become aware of what was really going on within me. I learned to allow opposing feelings to exist side by side. I arrived feeling sad and somewhat lost, and through working with Sandra I rediscovered my strength and confidence.”

Could this approach be right for you?

About Sandra

For many years, I lived mainly from my head: driven, focused and always on the go. From the outside, everything seemed fine, yet inwardly I felt an increasing sense of emptiness. Through Chi Kung, bodywork and Somatic Experiencing®, I discovered that my body had long known what I truly needed: slowing down, presence and genuine connection.

That discovery changed everything. I learned to listen to subtle signals, allow emotions to be felt and follow my own natural rhythm. Gradually, this created more space, calm and a deeper sense of meaning in my life.

Since 2014, I have been supporting people who long for greater inner freedom, connection and vitality. In my sessions, I work with approaches including Somatic Experiencing® and NARM™ to help release tension and restore the body’s natural resilience.

What I love most about this work is witnessing the moment someone reconnects with themselves and feels: “Yes, this is who I am.” Every step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your authentic self: the place where life can begin to flow freely again.
