Review Sessions 1:1
“I came to see Maartje after a very hectic period in my life. I noticed that I couldn’t find my peace both physically and mentally. So it was time for action!
Maartje's holistic approach is what attracted me. She then helped me on my way again. I have found my peace again and I am therefore better able to make decisions.”

This is what others experience:
“Maartje has been able to successfully guide me during many challenging transitional moments in my life. I experience Maartje as someone who is very down to earth, very grounded in her body and can also intuitively sense what is going on. Maartje really has the power to see the body as an intelligent system that actually sends you a lot of signals, which are sometimes not always easy for me to pick up or translate and she helps me to do that.”
— Sumaya, Psychologist
“What I have learned in the Sessions with Maartje is to connect more with the Heart instead of the mind that is sometimes really quite chaotic. By questioning: “What do I actually feel, what do I really want?”. It has helped me a lot to get some rest and to get out of that busyness of my head. And the way Maartje does that is just very warm, very respectful, very nice. I experienced it as very pleasant.”
— Rianne, Coach & teacher
“Conversations with Maartje give insight into myself: why I do the things I do or why I feel a certain way. Maartje gives crystal clear explanations, and is to the point and concise. It is always with pleasure that I leave, because understanding myself better feels good.”
— Ellen Siebenlist, Teacher early retirement
“Very nice, I feel like I’ve known you for years!”
“Maartje knows how to get to the core of a problem through her clear view of the entire spectrum of being human, thoughts, emotions, body, heart and soul. The session was enlightening, empowering and deepening. Very great to be strengthened again in what I can focus on. It's great how such a session still has an after-effect.”
— Aline Barbou, Teacher dance & awareness, Open Floor
“As I write this, I realize once again how much impact you have had in my life and my relationship. I am extremely grateful to you for that!”
— Sessions 1:1 & 1:2 with partner
“It’s all so clear to me now. I already read it on your website, but it really is!"
“In my session with Maartje she breathed with me through all the difficult parts and she gave me just the right, practical advice for me so I could move forward. Words that still reverberate and that we have integrated into our family life. It is a blessing that Maartje can intuitively feel with others and can immediately distill from this which tools you can practically use to get out of your blockages or fears. I am very grateful to her.”
— Sarah Domogala, Author, filmmaker & healer
“The feeling of my core was awakened by the advice Maartje gave. Always from the starting point of myself as a basis. Not woo woo, but spiritual and grounded with a lot of self-love and mildness. It was that gentleness and feeling that gave direction to the roads I want to go!
The insights that Maartje gave me were healing…. I can take new steps in my new phase of life. Thank you very much Maartje. I wish for everyone to meet Maartje!!!”
— Jolien, Teacher
“I am impressed by how quickly Maartje managed to touch my core and got me moving.”

— Saskia
“You are so very grounded!

— Jos H.
“What a nice and calm approach Maartje gives. Deeply connected to her own strength, she also gave me strength in my path of grief. A process that takes time and in which Maartje opened hatches to continue with life. Very nice to come to her.
Thanks again for your thoughts in my process.”
— Odile Dejong
“I normally never give a 10 or grade A, but in Maartje's case I would be happy to do so. Maartje is a very pleasant personality who knows how to make you feel safe. At Maartje you always feel taken seriously and she also takes the time for you. She knows exactly how to get to the heart of the matter so that you can get back in touch with yourself better. I am very grateful to Maartje for her role in this.”
— Irina, University teacher
“I find it very valuable and enriching to come to you.”
“For the first time I felt completely seen and acknowledged in what I was experiencing.
Maartje let me experience that the connection with myself has always been there, even if I didn't feel it that way at times. I have learned to trust my strength and inner wisdom and to stand up for it. That I am good the way I am with everything there is and that I am allowed to Be, but what I am perhaps most grateful for to her is that I am once again approaching life with an enthusiastic, open and curious view. Looking forward to all the beauty (and lessons) it offers me.”
— Charlotte Kemner
“I am very grateful for what the sessions have offered me, it gives me a lifelong insight and direction. Without Maartje's gifts this would not have been possible.”
— Lilian, Medical doctor
“Many thanks again! Was and is a super valuable process. Gained many life-changing insights that address issues at the source instead of treating symptoms. Your listening ear, visual attitude, powerful feedback and focus on the balance between body and mind has done me a lot of good.”
— Stijn
“I walk home on clouds!”
— Physiotherapist
“What makes Maartje so special is her sensitivity, her empathy and compassion. And the ability to put this into words. Words that you often cannot find yourself, but that so accurately put your finger on what is really going on.
“I can now finally eat vegetables and meat without gagging, I am so relieved!”
— Anke
“Peace, being allowed to eat everything, attention to myself, insight. Broken circle of: ‘dieting, gaining weight and more sadness’. I'm back in balance! Thank you for all the insights and your being.”
— Ulrike
“It was (is) very helpful for me to work with what needs attention in the moment. There was mildness and compassion and from there we could look together at the underlying question 'What wants to be seen here?' In this way I am able to see how my behavior with regard to food is serving, even if I am not happy with it myself. And that is exactly what gives me room to grow from acceptance. Thank you for your valuable tips on how I can get started with my recurring themes myself. Every session with you feels like a special gift to myself. I am already looking forward to the next session.”
— Els, Teacher
“What really suits me so much better now than in the period before I came to Maartje is ignoring negative thoughts and fears and realizing that they are just thoughts. What I also do much better is being more aware of what is already here now and being able to enjoy it more and be satisfied with it. I really experience myself differently and better than before.”
— Hans
“Using colors to clarify certain things in your mind is very helpful.”
