ABOUT FLOOR
NONE OF THAT WENT AWAY,
IT JUST FOUND A PROFESSION
before any of this was a practice, it was a child in the dunes, talking to the sea like it was a person.
i wanted to play with the stars. i wanted to meet the trolls and the fairies. i could disappear into a fantasy and feel it as clearly as the kitchen table
and i could stand very still and feel myself become a mountain, a stone, part of something with no edges.
none of that went away. it just found a profession.
i trained for five years at a conceptual art academy, and for years in the grinberg method® — and i still can't tell you exactly what i do.
the conceptual art academy taught me to stay with uncertainty, to trust what wants to emerge instead of what should be made.
that turned out to be exactly the skill this work needs. the bodywork training gave me the other half: a clear, grounded craft. hands, attention, safety. one without the other doesn't work —
form without mystery is dead, mystery without form is vague.
alongside the formal work, everything i know about energy, depth and the unknown, i learned by living it.
this is the strange continuity of my life: the girl who wanted to dissolve into something bigger became a woman who holds the door open while others do — safely, with both feet on the ground.
the fantasy didn't get outgrown. it got a room, a door, and a professional standard.
this work has a direction, and it is an old one: remembering. not learning something new, but un-learning what was layered over what you already know in your bones.
the body is not a machine to be managed —
it is something wild that was tamed into coping,
and it remembers being wild.
my work is a quiet kind of rewilding: making it safe for what is oldest in you to come back to the surface.
i don't offer systems. i offer presence, craft, and a trust in what shows up when it's safe enough to show up.
currently i work in a small studio in the centre of amsterdam, five minutes from central station. it's a little portal. people take their shoes off and something in them goes: "ah. finally."
(the trolls have visited. the door stayed open.)
if you want to know what i sound like before you book:
my blog is a good place to start.
you can also drop me an email here or even book a free exploration call directly, no strings attached.
