If you scroll to the top of this page, you’ll see one 😉 that one could be the beginning of a longer guided ecological mindfulness (“nature therapy”) practice — or, it can also be the entirety of an arrival practice — a brief mindful moment which I always offer at the beginning of a session to help us both land more fully.

Many of my social mindfulness practices are inspired by the Authentic Relating Games Manual.

I am currently based in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

All 1-1 sessions can be done both online and in-person.

Virtual meetings can be joined from any location you prefer. It is not necessary to be sitting in a chair in front of your computer. If you find it supportive to join from an outdoor environment, this is also very welcome.

For in-person meetings, we agree on a location based on what feels most appropriate or supportive for your needs. It can be outdoors, in nature or in the city. It can be in your own space, as well as in mine. For meetings outside of Utrecht, I would request an additional fee to cover travel expenses.

Choose below the standard rate if you are on a low or fixed income, or are experiencing financial hardship, particularly when due to the impact of maginalised social location.

Choose above the standard rate if you have an above average income, access to savings or investments or generational wealth, and can comfortably afford most things you need in daily life. — this helps support me to continue being able to offer the lower rates.

Choose the standard rate if you feel your situation lies somewhere in-between, or don’t know how to choose, or this feels too complicated to think about.

We agree on an amount that works for you, either in or after our intro call. This can be changed later on by agreement, but not for sessions you have already paid for.

I don’t turn anyone away on the basis of lack of funds alone + if you are located outside of the Global North, I take this into account in any discussions we may have about prices.

This is a peer-support and educational offering, not a healthcare service. I do not offer diagnosis, evaluation or treatment of disorder or illness, neither according to the western model of mental health nor according to any non-western models. I do not see myself as having expert knowledge about the cause of or the solution to your life challenges. Instead, I am here to offer concrete skills and embodied, relational experiences that you may use to get to know yourself and your own patterns better, if you so choose.

A “supportive and educational” role looks like:

• Deep and attentive listening

• Asking curious questions to support your own reflection and self-inquiry

• Offering and demonstrating (“mindfulness”-related) practices that we can try together in-session and on your own time

• Connecting you with other learning and community resources as needed

• Committing to “practicing what I preach”: only guiding or teaching practices which I regularly practice myself, and can embody in-session through my way of being

• Sharing personal or lived experiences when they are requested in support of your learning process

• Referring to and collaborating with healthcare providers if issues and needs arise that feel beyond my knowledge and capacity to hold space for
