Bodywork Therapy for Healing, Personal Development and Creating Meaning and Purpose Door diepe sensitieve aanraking werken we aan de oorzaak van de pijn.

Lichaamsgeoriënteerde therapie is een proces dat de intieme relatie tussen het menselijk lichaam en het psychisch welbevinden erkent. In het proces van de therapie wordt de cliënt uitgenodigd, om oude overtuigingen en conclusies los te laten en steeds meer te worden, wie hij/zij in wezen is. Waar negatieve patronen, blokkades of andere gebeurtenissen (zoals trauma, relatiecrisis, ziekte en/of verlieservaring) in de weg staan en het gezonde emotionele evenwicht stoort, helpt de therapie om (weer) vertrouwen in eigen kwaliteiten, ervaringen en gevoelens te hebben. Dit creëert ruimte om nieuwe vaardigheden te leren en betere denkwijzen aan te nemen. Hierdoor ben je meer in staat keuzes te maken en acties te ondernemen die jouw doelen verwezenlijken. MER (Myofascial Energetic Release) is een vorm van diepe weefselmassage die werkt met de myo- (spieren) en fascia (bindweefsel). Een deel van de behandeling kan ook adem-werk, joint release, geassisteerde stretches en emotioneel werk omvatten. Als de verkrampte spieren en het bindweefsel ontspant, kijken wij ook naar de verschillende factoren die de spasmes veroorzaken, zoals emotionele repressie, negatieve overtuigingen en disfunctionele gewoontes en gedrag. Meer kennis opdoen is een belangrijk onderdeel van het genezen van chronische pijn. De effecten zijn divers. Spanning in lichaam en geest wordt losgelaten. Je zult minder last hebben van lichaamspijn veroorzaakt door verkramping en een verkeerde houding. Door meer in contact te komen met je lichaam ontstaat een groter lichaamsbewustzijn. Daardoor kan je beter je eigen emoties waarnemen en je eigen energie beheren. Hedendaagse wetenschappelijke inzichten rondom hersenontwikkeling en ontwikkelingspsychologie bevestigen het verband tussen lichaamsbewustzijn en emotionele welzijn.

Softening the fascia allows the underlying intelligence to move freely.

When the fascia unwinds, something essential comes forward.
Breath finds more space to expand.
Movement becomes more fluid and aligned.
Awareness settles into a clearer sense of presence.

Fascia touches everything - muscles, organs, posture, breath, emotional tone.
So when it softens, the whole system responds.
Circulation improves, energy flows with more ease, and the nervous system begins to settle into balance.

In deep bodywork the intention stays simple and steady:
to offer enough space, enough presence, enough gentle support
for the body’s natural intelligence to guide the unfolding.

We meet the tissue where it is.
We listen to its rhythm.
We follow the subtle movements, the breath, the micro releases, the quiet shifts in tone.
And in this collaborative process, tension that has been held for years can begin to soften.

Every gentle release opens a pathway.
Every softening invites a new truth:
a clearer breath, a freer spine, a calmer mind, a more grounded way of being.

Your body carries a map - a living, evolving guide shaped by experience, resilience, and wisdom.
Softening the fascia helps you read it with greater clarity, compassion, and trust.

Have you ever felt a moment when your body “guided” you from the inside?

From next year on, our MER journey grows beyond Belgium.
Together with Thordal Kropsterapi, I’ll be offering MER trainings in England, hosted by the Leela Centre.

With this expansion comes a new name that expresses who we are at our core: True North Bodywork.
True North is our inner compass - the part that stays steady, honest, and rooted no matter what life brings.

For me, that compass is the body’s wisdom and the gift of turning every moment into learning and awareness.
This is what keeps me moving.

And now I’m curious:

We may sense where the body could open, where the breath could travel, or where a release is waiting. And still, the body keeps its own rhythm.

Healing isn’t something we push into happening - it’s something we make room for.

Letting the intelligence of the body lead simply means:
we slow down, we listen, and we follow what the system is ready for in that moment.

When we work this way:
• the client feels safe
• the tissues soften naturally
• the breath expands on its own
• the release unfolds steadily and with grounding

Nothing forced.
Nothing hurried.
Just a quiet trust in the body’s wisdom.

This is the heart of Myofascial Energetic Release.
A way of meeting another person through presence instead of pressure, awareness instead of effort - a different quality of touch.

If you feel called to work like this, MER offers a path to deepen your sensitivity, learn subtle listening skills, and support release from the inside out.

What if your body is already telling you exactly what you need - you just haven’t learned its language yet?

In my work, I’ve seen it again and again: when we reconnect with breath, sensation, and presence, something shifts. The mind slows down. The nervous system softens. The body finally gets a chance to release what it’s been holding for years.

Body-based practices open a doorway we often forget exists - the place where your sensations, emotions, and instincts start to make sense again.

You don’t need pressure or perfection.
You just need a moment of presence.

Because when you pause long enough to notice what’s happening inside, something remarkable unfolds:

The body reveals what the mind has tried to outrun.
And with that awareness, a new kind of clarity appears.

Stay close - I’ll be posting new videos soon with practical exercises you can try at home.

Fascia is not rigid - it’s constantly adapting.

The way you move sends the signals it uses to reshape and realign.

When you move with stretch, load, and variation:
• Fascia layers start to slide more easily
• Hydration flows back into the tissue
• Stiffness gets new information
• Collagen fibers reorganize along the lines of movement

Fascia remodels based on the forces you place on it.

The structure of your body is not fixed -
it’s the result of your movement patterns.

The way you move becomes the structure you live in.

There are ways you hold your body that you no longer notice:
the shoulders slightly lifted,
the breath a little shallow,
the hips braced,
the heart guarded.

These patterns didn’t appear by accident.
They were formed in moments when your body needed protection.

But what once kept you safe can now keep you tired, tense, and disconnected from your own aliveness.

When the body stays in protection, life feels like effort.
When the body remembers safety, energy returns.

In Myofascial Energetic Release, we don’t force change.
We create the conditions where your body can let go on its own.

Slow joint release.
Subtle rocking.
Unwinding that happens from the inside.

Clients often describe this moment as:
“I didn’t know I was holding so much until I felt what it’s like to be without it.”

If your body has been protecting for too long,
if you feel the weight of holding yourself together -
this work is for you.

The next Myofascial Energetic Release training awaits you.

If you’ve ever felt that your body holds more than just physical tension - that it also carries stories, emotions, and memories - this workshop is an invitation to explore that with presence and care.

Myofascial Energetic Release works deeply with fascia, breath, movement, and emotional awareness to soften holding patterns and reconnect you with your natural flow. Fascia isn’t just structure - it’s communication, protection, and connection. When it softens, something inside us opens too.

This weekend is open to both therapists and anyone curious about discovering this approach.

During the workshop, you’ll explore:
• How the body knows how to heal when supported
• How the autonomic nervous system responds to stress
• How to “read” the body and follow its signals in a session
• Principles of deep touch: depth, speed, duration
• How posture, breath, and words shape the session
• How client participation and active meditation support release

You’ll learn through touch, breath, and shared practice - experiencing what changes in yourself as you offer the work and receive it.

This workshop can serve as a first step towards the full MER training modules at The Leela Centre, Gillingham, Dorset.

Feel drawn to this?
We’d be happy to welcome you.

If you’re curious about how the body stores tension, emotion, and life experiences – and how it can also release them – this weekend is for you.

MER is a deep and gentle form of bodywork that combines touch, breath, movement, and emotional awareness. It works with muscles and fascia to soften chronic tension, create more space inside, and support a natural sense of flow and presence.

This workshop is open to everyone – whether you work with people or simply want to understand your own body more deeply.

Over these 3 days, we’ll explore together:
• How the body naturally knows how to heal when given space
• How the nervous system responds to stress – and how to support it
• How to “read” the body and follow its signals in a session
• The power of your own breath and presence
• How to guide someone with sensitivity, clarity, and care
• What it feels like to be more connected to your own body

You’ll be practicing hands-on with different partners, slowly discovering how much can shift simply through touch, awareness, and mindful breathing.

Many participants say this work opens not just the body, but also new ways of relating to themselves and others.

In the MER training here in Belgium, we are working with balancing the muscles of the pelvis.
This work always brings us into our own personal process - because you learn by feeling yourself.

One of the trainees shared something that touched me deeply.
She said she is learning how to stay vulnerable and in her personal power at the same time.

We all develop armoring - tension patterns that protect us from what feels overwhelming and also hold back parts of ourselves we are not ready to show.
As this armoring begins to soften, we feel more.
Sometimes words and behaviors reach us deeper.
This is vulnerability.

Personal power is not about being hard or defended.
It is the capacity to stay with yourself while staying connected with another.

This is where real, warm, human connection happens.
It is what so many of us are longing for.

What does vulnerability feel like in your body - warm, shaky, open, tender?

The body feels you before you touch it.

Your breath.
Your pacing.
Your presence.
Your silence.

This is where MER begins:
in the nervous system of the practitioner.

Before contact, take a moment to arrive:
• Feel your feet on the ground
• Soften the jaw
• Let the exhale lengthen
• Let your awareness widen

From here, the hands don’t do.
They listen.

And in that listening:
• joints soften
• fascia unwinds
• rhythm returns
• space opens
• the system remembers itself

Technique shapes structure.
Presence shapes how the body receives the touch.

Fluid Body teaches the art of unforced release - where patterns unwind from the inside, in the rhythm of safety and awareness.

Join us - Thordal Kropsterapi and I - in Denmark,
Dec 9–14, 2025,
for Fluid Body: Joint Release & Myofascial Unwinding.

Our Story

Postural Integration (PI) is een psychotherapeutische behandelingswijze die de houding van het lichaam (in het Engels: ‘posture’) als uitgangspunt neemt. Je lichaam weerspiegelt je attitudes en geeft veel informatie over je levensgeschiedenis. Door manuele bewerking van het lichaam, in combinatie met psychotherapeutische begeleiding, worden in Postural Integration psychische en lichamelijke klachten verholpen. In de therapie wordt ook gebruik gemaakt van deep tissue massage en Egoscue houdings-oefeningen.
