Dear People,Guarding and respecting our boundaries should be as natural as breathing, but for most people it isn't. Some of us have been told about how we need to be kind, polite and forgiving. Some of us are afraid of confrontation and just hope others will understand where our boundaries are and respect them. However, other people can only guess at our boundaries and often will cross them (inte
Dear People,We all have goals in our lives that we want to achieve, but quite often, we have some obstacles in the way.

Dear People,Time for some more affirmations to receive what you want in your life. So today's theme is about Receiving itself. We all want to receive in life: love, kindness, tolerance, money, joy, luck etc. etc. Even so, we often put restrictions on what we can receive or from whom. This can seriously reduce the receiving flow in our lives, so don't miss out and affirm away.I write my affirmati
Dear People,Some of you might have seen me promote Stichting Opkikker already, which is a wonderful organization that surprises families with a chronically ill child with a wonderful day. They have chosen to focus on families, as not only the child, but also parents and siblings have a difficult time too.So it was only logical that I got questions recently about my volunteer work. I usually don't
Dear People,Shame should be a signal that we have done something that we don't want to repeat. That we are learning our lesson: that something doesn't suit us and we won't repeat it. However, often shame arises even when we did nothing wrong, but feel responsible or when it feels like doing our best wasn't good enough. Once shame has a permanent place in our energy fields, it often means it will
Dear people,Often we have well meaning people in our lives wishing to give us advice or to help us with what they perceive is our problem. While most people will understand our boundaries and respect them, not all people will. We don't want to start a fight, but also, we don't want to feel pushed or ignored. Today I'll talk about how to shut people down in a polite and mostly tactful way. When yo

Dear People,A lot of us give a lot and it's easy to forget our own boundaries and to feel burnt out. We are tired of helping others and we just want to be left alone or we try to manipulate others to give to us, because we aren't receiving enough. This is a serious issue that can damage our relationships with other people and definitely the one we have with ourselves. So today I'll talk abo

Dear People,While I already wrote about what questions I won't answer but recently I was also asked twice about what type of clients aren't welcome in my practice. It's a difficult question to answer, because I would like to say everybody is welcome, but the truth is that this just isn't possible. It's fair to say that I have two groups of people who I don't tend to work with.Group 1: People whos
Dear People,Time to help us release one of the emotions we often feel and that can be hard to release. A lot of us feel guilty daily, often for things out of our control (I should have/could have/would have), because we want to do more (I'm disappointing X, I'm not being there enough) and only rarely for things we actually do wrong. I often see people in the practice who carry around guilt that i

However, the passive and reflective side of us can bring solutions as well.Reflective waiting vs frettingIf you are boiling water for tea, you have to wait until it's done before you can make it. A c
Dear People,Time for some more free affirmations. Today's theme is Peace Affirmations. Often we can be in emotional turmoil or in a stressful situation.

Dear People,Often I tell people that we are all human and we all make mistakes when I help release blockages. Guilt, frustration and pain can keep us locked in past mistakes and fear and anxiety about future mistakes can paralyse us.

Dear People,Recently somebody asked me what I do during the day time when I don't work with clients. This meant of course that they wondered if I had a second job (no, I don't), but it's also a good opportunity to let people know what I actually do. Of course I'd be more then happy for the practice to grow more and am aiming to move towards 12-15 sessions a week. Why not more? Well, because of al
