Practice Sandra Postma

"I don't know where to start"

"That's okay! It's not weird, you can just start somewhere.
Everything you say, feel or perceive through your body is an entrance."

Welcome!

For many, therapy feels like a luxury – something that is not for them, something for which there is no time or money, or something that has already been tried without result. Yet many people would benefit from therapy. It is of great value when we take the opportunity to spend it completely on ourselves. Therapy offers the space to discover our complex inner world and to grow, with positive effects for us and our environment.
Knowing ourselves and acting in alignment with our inner truth is the key to a fulfilling life.
In therapy we come into contact with our feelings, needs and desires and discover how we relate to ourselves and others. We gain new insights that allow us to change and grow. When we are in touch with ourselves, we live more freely and consciously choose our path, relationships and direction. Body-oriented psychotherapy uses the body as an entrance to our inner world.
