Relationship Therapy and Intimacy Coaching that Inspires you to
Lead with Love
“Become a wholehearted Leader & Lover of Life”
The Paradox in our Hearts
We desire to be deeply connected, yet we want to feel free. We want to be ourselves, yet want to be accepted, so we adjust. Our desires pose an almost impossible paradox.
How can we fuse these parts within ourselves, while interacting with others that may mirror and trigger us? How can we be in relationships - especially romantic relationships - without losing ourselves?
The answer lies in developing and maintaining a mature relationship with yourself, while also nurturing the third entity that's present: in any relationship there are at least two individuals ánd there's a 'we'.
You, your lover, and the 'we' wants love, care, attention, nurturing. You all have needs... and sometimes they clash ;). Not to mention all the childhood wounds, patterns, circumstances, habits and relationship dynamics and history that affect your (future) relationship.
What then? How can you find a new way of relating to yourself and others? How can you re-meet yourself, so you can meet the other in a new way? In other words: how can you build healthy relationships
The journey of Love is a journey of Leadership. I'm here to guide you on that journey. Are you in?
What Would You like more of in your Life?
It's one of the the first questions I will ask you. The answer guides us towards the way of working or modality that may serve you best. This can be a mixture of therapy, coaching, trauma-work, or maybe tantra-inspired or somatic practices such as therapeutic shibari (ropes). I happily support you to...
... Feel Confident & Free
... Feel Intimately Connected
... Feel Alive & Nourished
Can I guide you on your journey?
Relational Integrity
My main intention is to bring you towards Relational Integrity: an inner attitude towards relationships - including the one with yourself - that is based on accountability, vulnerability, compassion and choosing connection, yet is independent of what the other person does or doesn’t do.
You may wonder...
In which areas of life can I help?
These options are available for individuals as well as couples.
