I believe we can all live more fully

And in my experience, listening to my body is key

Have you ever looked like everything was ok, but from the inside you felt like screaming.  Where everything was NOT OK, but you didn’t know what to do about it?

That was me when I was a student.

And today that is me no more!

Hi there, I’m Lisanne

Through my own painful journey of personal loss and burnout I have gotten to know a lot about how to change that around.

I believe we are all meant to feel vital, energetic and enjoy what we do.  Because then we automatically share our talents and potential with our surroundings.

My mission is to help you get through your process faster, whether that is on a professional level or a personal level, and I am here to give you the tools and experience to do just that.

My passion is to facilitate you to connect with the innate wisdom and full capacities of your body, so you can live your true potential. At work and at home.

“I believe we can all take steps to living more fully and in my experience, listening to my body is key”.

I love to create an impactful experience to help you and the people around you thrive so you feel more vital and are able to use your full potential. I have certifications in facilitation, (team)coaching, Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System®, hatha yoga (200hr) and several other body and breath oriented modalities. I especially like to find a personalised combination of this toolbox to help you in the unique way you deserve.

“Everybody is unique.

Every company is unique.

And that requires a unique approach to you and your specific needs.”

And that is where I thrive! I love to use my creativity, my sensitivity and my system-orientated glasses to create the perfect product for you. Whether that is a workshop, a training or a personal trajectory, I truly enjoy it when a project comes together, when it fits like a glove and does what it needs to help you reach your goals.

I wasn’t always so clear about what I like and where I thrive. This uncertainty and searching, together with a good dose of perfectionism and the sudden loss of one of my best friends, led me into a burnout when I was 22.

I wasn’t always so clear about what I like and where I thrive. This uncertainty and searching, together with a good dose of perfectionism and the sudden loss of one of my best friends, led me into a burnout when I was 22.

I was studying Architecture in Delft (NL) at the time and found myself emotionally numb and physically aching. Experiencing a variety of complaints ranging from weight gain, repetitive strain injury and wheat intolerance. Not realising what was going on, but certain I needed to find a way to feel more vital and find more wellbeing, basically to find myself again, my personal search started.

My search led me to some amazing places…

And to non supportive places as well.

When I heard people tell me “you just have to learn to live with it” , this was frustrating.   I didn’t believe them and went on with my search.  Yoga, meditation and coaching were some of the ways that have absolutely helped me in my search and that I practice daily.

The first time I learnt about breathwork was through a YouTube video of two funny looking guys talking about the benefits of their training. Somewhere it stayed with me.

I took the leap.

And signed up, terrified!

It was one of the best choices I ever made

Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System® has given me my biggest breakthroughs in releasing old patterns and pains. This system works with releasing held tension in the body from experiences that are not fully coped with or worked through. (I had a few ;)).

It uses the integration of 6 elements and is extremely powerful. Every time I did a new training I felt like a new person, continually becoming more me and connecting with my essence.

I am truly grateful for my personal process and I feel so much more free, alive, happy, playful, positive and grounded in my body than I did ten years ago during my study. Of course, it is a practice to keep up the good energy and I am still learning every day.

These gifts that I have found are what I want to share with people like you and me: people that want to create their own breakthrough and healing, in their business or privately.
