My spiritual life experiences
My spiritual life experience started in 1999 after a few unsatisfying psychotherapy sessions. At the age of twenty-five I was a bit stuck in both my first relationship and my first job as a navy officer on board of a Dutch fregat. A friend suggested holistic therapy which felt much better for me. By own experience I learned that body, mind and soul have to be seen as an integrated whole to be able to fully heal ourselves. The seed to learn more about this was planted.

What participants say about the online "chakra journey"
7-week online “chakra journey”, March-April 2023
I’m very glad that I participated. Thanks!! Thought you built it up very well, Ilse. More and more professional and more and more extensive with information. I noticed that it is important for me to balance effort and relaxation. I’m glad we met in this way. Good luck, happiness, inspiration and love for the future!
What a beautiful journey! Also very nice that you share the information about each particular chakra before we meet online. This really helps during the online practice. Also good to see and feel what effect the different exercises have on my body.
Hi Ilse, I didn’t know anything about the chakras so this online chakra journey was just right for me! You are clear and keep a close eye on whether I am doing the postures correctly. You are also very down-to-earth: “if you don’t feel anything special, that’s okay too!” I liked that very much. I would like to participate again if another “Journey along the chakras” is given.
