In the work we do together, I draw on a combination of:
Somatic coaching. Working directly with the body as the site of change. Every experience we have had has left a trace in how we move, breathe, and respond under pressure. These patterns feel like us, but they are shapes we learned. Somatic coaching builds awareness of those shapes, practices new ways of being, and develops the capacity to act from a centered place.
Somatic bodywork. Sometimes conversation and practice can’t reach what’s held deepest. Bodywork uses precise touch, breath, and directed attention to access and release deeply held patterns of muscular contraction. Places where the body has braced or numbed in response to experiences it needed to survive. Bodywork creates an opening: an invitation for the body to release what it no longer needs to carry, and make room for more aliveness, more choice.
Nature and ritual. The body doesn’t heal in isolation from the world it lives in. I bring nature and ritual into the work as orienting forces, as reminders that we are part of something larger, that there are rhythms older and steadier than the ones we’ve been handed.
The work takes different shapes depending on what you need. What stays constant: we follow the body, we work at the root, and we move at the pace that actually produces change, not the pace of urgency or performance.
1:1 Somatic Coaching & Bodywork
We meet every week, or every two weeks, for 60 to 75 minutes. Somatic coaching is available online or in person in Brussels. Bodywork is in person only, working directly with the tissue through touch, breath, and movement. Both can be part of the same ongoing process, or you can come for one or the other.
We begin with a minimum commitment of a few months, enough ground for real change to land. From there the work continues for as long as it needs to. You will know in your body when it is time to close.
To start, we have a 20-minute call. Not to convince each other of anything. To sense whether there is a genuine fit. Come with whatever brought you here.
Somatic coaching: €120 per session | Bodywork: €150 per session
A limited number of sliding-scale spaces are available for grassroots activists each year. Join the waitlist.
Somatic group work
There is something that happens in a group that cannot happen alone. When we practice in the presence of others, being witnessed, witnessing, co-regulating, being met in our edges, something shifts that no amount of individual work can reach. Healing is relational.
In Brussels and online:
- Longer-term containers. Small groups of 4 to 6 people meeting over several weeks or months. Somatic, relational, and slow enough for real change to root. These groups build a genuine field of practice together. For people ready to be seen over time, not just in a single moment.
- Full-day workshops. Focused on one somatic skill or theme. A full day is enough time to go somewhere real, not just scratch the surface. You leave with something you can feel in your body and begin to practice.
Current offering: The Practice of Belonging
Eight sessions for people who learned, somewhere along the way, that being fully themselves in connection isn’t entirely safe. Somatic, relational, rooted in nature and ritual. Starting 2 June in Brussels, 4 to 6 people only. → Find out more here!

Organizational somatic work
Organisations carry patterns in their collective body too. Burnout, difficult power dynamics, chronic over-functioning, the gap between stated values and daily reality. These don’t resolve through strategy alone. They live in the culture, in the room, in how people relate under pressure.
Purpose-driven organisations, NGOs, social justice groups, advocacy teams, cooperatives, often carry a particular weight. The mission is real, the stakes are high, and the people giving themselves to it are often running on empty. The work that changes this isn’t another away day or a resilience workshop. It goes to the root: how we relate, how we hold conflict, how we stay present under pressure without burning out or losing each other.
This work begins with a needs assessment. From there we design a process together that can include team sessions, somatic workshops, 1:1 coaching for leaders, and ongoing organisational practices.

How I Work
What I’m interested in is what shifts in how you actually move: in relationship, in your work, in how you inhabit your own life.
Between sessions, I ask you to practice. To bring the work into your daily life, to notice, to experiment, to come back with what you found. This isn’t homework for its own sake. Change requires repetition. The body learns through doing, not just through understanding.
We work together for as long as the work needs. There’s no fixed container or predetermined timeline. You will know in your body when it’s time to bring the process to a close.
What I Believe About the Work
The personal is political. Bodies don’t exist outside of history, culture, or power. I don’t practise somatics as if they do.
Healing happens in relationship, not in isolation. The body co-regulates. We need each other to change.
Insight is not enough. Understanding your pattern is a beginning. Moving it requires practice, repetition, and a body willing to try something different.
You are not broken. You are shaped in ways that no longer work for you. And shape can change.
