Hi, my name is Heleen.

​

Twenty-five years ago, I began my career as a conventional therapist in the field of mental health, working at various locations across the Netherlands.

After a few years, I moved to Scotland, where I lived for eleven years.

For seven years I worked at the NHS (National Health Service) in Scotland.

During those years, my personal journey into the holistic world began.

 

Energetic and inner work proved to appeal to me enormously, and I immersed myself in this
fascinating world.

I found answers I had never heard before, but which felt so right and certain that they changed my relationship with mainstream healthcare. I now find less recognition and insight there. It often feels incomplete to me, because so little attention is paid to the whole picture.

For me, there is only one way, and that is through a holistic view of what it means to be human.

A combination of the emotional, energetic/spiritual, mental and, of course, physical state; everything comes together and influences your life.

 

This does mean that sometimes you have to look in places you wouldn’t immediately expect.

Our bodily signals, and even the symbolism in everyday life, can sometimes have meanings far beyond what we can comprehend with our rational minds.

But when you open yourself up to this, life - in my opinion- becomes much more logical
and more magical.

 

There are many healing and insightful methods, such as:

shadow work; inner child work; trauma-led approaches; systemic or family constellations;
regression therapy; soul massage; healing journeys; acupuncture;
voice liberation; kinesiology, equine assisted therapy and many others.

They are wonderful and immensely powerful in their own right, and there is something for everyone – something that ‘clicks’, as it were.

I am grateful to have been able to practise and experience many of these methods, yet I feel most at ease with energy work.

The connection with it feels very pure to me, and my mind (reason and ego) don’t need to be involved.

(Which is a relief for my overactive mind)

I receive images, emotions, physical reactions, words and answers
and its humbling to share these with others.

 

Alongside my own personal journey, I have also completed a number of courses and training programmes, so that I can continue to develop my path in this field with experience-based and well-founded knowledge.

 

But beside the mentioned above, there is so much more to me.

As well as being: a mum (and bonus mum) to 2+2 teenagers ♥; a qualified educational support worker and an (obsessed) animal lover, I also live with the challenges of ADD. 
Plus: I’m a huge fan of dark and British humour.

Just to name a few.

 

In short, if anything strikes a chord with you, please get in touch (with no obligation).

I’m sure there’s a very good reason our paths have crossed...!
