You know your body needs attention
You're not moving like you once did. Maybe you're weaker, even slouching. Or there's pain, even debilitating pain. What’s more, you feel emotionally stressed. Everything is harder than it should be and you don’t feel like you can thrive the way you want to.
You might be beyond frustrated, even ashamed. But mostly you feel stuck….in the past and the present. You’re not moving forward.
You may tell yourself that more movement would help but life is busy and you just don't do it enough. You've even explored things like chiropractic, physical therapy, a few kinds of body worker, or yoga but none of them really let you feel into what’s coming up for you when you receive touch, a lot of feelings or maybe a lot of numbness.
Or maybe you exercise a lot, but you suspect there’s a chronic problem in your posture that is effecting your performance and so far, despite trying different modalities, it’s still an issue. There’s something deeper going on that you’re not quite getting to and it won’t leave you alone.
Maybe you get temporary relief, but the aching muscles and joint tension and irritation inevitably returns. Is there anything that can help you make sense of it all? Anything that can let you live with more of a sense of joy and freedom?
I help people struggling with chronic tension and restricted movement; who want true freedom and comfort in their bodies and lives again.
What’s getting in your way?
Do you wonder whether feeling more comfortable connecting with yourself — and also with others — has more to do with finding one way to connect more deeply with your body and mind and less to do with trying to fixing the problem
You know you need support to find your way through.
Testimonial about working with Liesje as a practitioner.
“Your use of the term ‘being met’ gives me the idea that this somatic work is unwinding through an exploration resonates with me very deeply. I want to meet myself and give myself permission to be and also to express”
-Diane West
You’re in the right place if:
You want to find your internal strength through the body, tapping into your daily professional and personal life so that you’re using your gifts and talents powerfully and with confidence.
And you have a sense that once that happens, your life will start working for you.
You can move past your inner barriers and get to a place where you’re confident and secure in what you’re doing, and your body and mind feel like they are working for you rather then against you and you can ride the ups and downs of life with more ease and less bottle necked frustration.
Although you may have tried a lot of ways to heal and thrive, you may still feel stuck. The truth is, most of the time, what’s really getting in your way is old trauma that is stored in your body.
What does the body have to do with that?
Alot! Actually, the big picture that’s always with us is a relationship between your body, mind and being in gravity. Interacting with your surroundings.
How often do you think about how gravity works with your body? It’s not just pulling you down. There’s a relationship there. Because of the slow and specific sequencing of the somatic processes I support you in, it becomes possible for you to move more freely: your bones become more energized and your muscles aren’t holding tension any more.
This means, you’re saving energy and avoiding injuries.
Trauma isn’t a life sentence; trauma must be healed.
The healing of trauma happens when your heart and your body connect; when the patterns are given care directly, and a part of you that felt so hurt or disconnected can re-integrate.
You can feel whole again.
Tension from chronic holding patterns release when you gradually adapt your posture to one with greater balance and alignment. You will feel an ease that will get your whole body working better.
And what’s great about that is, no matter what physical activity you like to do -football, swimming , biking, acrobatics, tai chi or keeping up with chores around the house - it’s easier and more enjoyable.
As you heal, you will start to thrive personally and professionally: you will be more effective in your life, and feel more confident in your work. If you’re a practitioner, your clients will also get better faster, which means you will ultimately see more clients, have increased cash flow, and greater ease.
