energy balance? what is that?
Energy work includes practices such as acupuncture, reflexology, therapeutic touch, Qigong, and Reiki. The Reiki method, a Japanese energy healing method, is what I offer in the Energy Balance (Body&Mind).
Balancing your energy is key to your well-being. The human body contains an estimated 30 to 37 trillion cells and essentially all living cells generate energy. For all sorts of reasons, imbalances in the body's energy system can occur, and to put it simply; the top driver of cellular energy imbalance is stress. That stress can come in many forms, but it is safe to say that none of them do your body any good in the long run. A stressed body cannot function optimally.
In the Energy Balance (Body&Mind) you will receive high-vibrational life force energy to help bring back balance in your body and mind. It is a moment of deep rest, allowing you to slow down and simply be... so that your body can catch up on overdue maintenance.
The body's energy system always responds positively to high-vibrational energy, and uses it to establish harmony and balance where that is needed. Energy follows energy, and your body responds to it instantly as it recognises these high vibrations as "safe". Your sympathetic nervous system settles and the parasympathetic state of "rest-and-repair" kicks in, resulting in energy being redistributed and/or shifted to clear any stagnation. Your body finally has a chance to optimise and heal whatever it needs to heal (physically and emotionally)!
You'll feel the energy as a warmth flowing from my hands. It truly is a fascinating, deeply relaxing experience with effects usally lasting up to a week. Know that even the smallest shift in your body's energy system can create an amazing ripple effect of positive changes for you, and it may ease all sorts of physical and emotional issues that manifested from the imbalances. Each session is unique, and you will get out of it exactly what you need at the time.

note: Reiki/energy work as described is complementary therapy that can be used alongside conventional medical treatments and other therapeutic techniques.
It is, however, not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
what can you expect?
Prior to the session, I will inquire if you have any specific intentions or areas you'd like me to focus on. If you're unsure or prefer not to share, that's completely fine. I use my intuition during these sessions, and will naturally be drawn to certain areas more than others.
You'll be comfortably lying on a massage table (fully clothed and covered with a blanket), allowing me to move around you with ease. Calming music will be playing, and you'll enjoy the soothing scent of essential oils that promote relaxation. I will gently place my hands on or near your body for several minutes each area. All you need to do is close your eyes. Nothing is expected of you, and there is no talking involved during the session.
During or shortly after the session, you may feel sensations of warmth, cold or tingling, which are all signs of energy movement. It's recommended to drink plenty of water afterwards.
Changes may continue to develop after your session, such as improved digestion and deeper sleep.
You may also (temporarily) feel a bit emotional.
Each experience is unique, and you can trust that it’s exactly what you needed.
meet the practitioner
For as long as I can remember, I have been a sensitive individual, though it took quite a while to fully accept and embrace that aspect of myself. Growing up in the Netherlands, I often felt overwhelmed by stress and fatigue. In my attempts to fit in and appear “normal,” I ignored and masked my body's signals for years. In 2019, I finally recognised the need for change.
I began to listen to my body and discovered that I was sensitive to certain ingredients. Removing a few things from my diet significantly improved my health. Around the same time, I was introduced to energy work through my mom and sister, who both started taking Reiki courses simultaneously and wanted someone to practice on. These moments of pure relaxation and stillness allowed me to tune into my intuition even more.
In 2022, I decided to follow an intuitive impulse and moved to Australia. Once settled, I felt drawn to take Reiki and meditation courses, and I did just that, which further changed my perspectives and outlook on life. I'm now finally able to see my sensitivity for what it truly is: a strength, a superpower for understanding myself and others on a deep level.
We are energetic beings, and as soon as we become aware of that we begin to reclaim our power. I know I am here to help guide people through that process, which gives me a profound sense of purpose.
The time to take care of ourselves is the present, it is now, and I'm here for it!
