Back to your body. Back to yourself.
Somatic therapy and coaching
Trauma & stress | Pelvis & abdomen | Sexuality & intimacy
In Arnhem and online, for all genders.
I work at the intersection of stress and trauma, belly and pelvis, sex and intimacy.
In your body, it’s all connected, and that’s what makes this work so powerful: when one area opens up, the rest feels it too. That’s why I work on several levels: with your nervous system, with therapeutic bodywork and with somatic coaching.
The common thread in my work is embodiment: coming home to your body and its wisdom, learning to fully inhabit it, and feeling more alive. Your body is your best ally, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.
Trauma & stress
Intense experiences and chronic stress can leave you feeling stuck in the past or overwhelmed by the present. I support you with Somatic Experiencing® and trauma-sensitive bodywork. This helps you to regulate your nervous system and restore resilience, vitality and zest for life.
Pelvic & ABDOMINAL care
Your belly and pelvis respond to everything: to stress, to how you breathe, to how safe you feel. For many people, this area is mostly a place of tension, pain, shame or feeling nothing at all. With Abdominal Therapy, pelvic therapy and scar therapy, we work toward more space, relaxation and connection.
Sex & intimacy
Sex is everywhere around us. That’s why we mistakenly believe that sexuality and intimacy should always come naturally. In reality, many men and women struggle with it, sometimes as a result of sexual trauma. I help you (re)connect with yourself and with others, so you can finally experience more pleasure and intimacy.
I am elisabeth
I am passionate about the human body, its capacity to heal from trauma and intense experiences, and its ability to bring us joy, pleasure, and a deep sense of personal power.
Having a human body is a unique gift. Supporting others in learning how to fully live in their bodies is my life’s mission.
I work with clients from all over the world, online via Zoom and in person in Arnhem, the Netherlands, with or without hands-on bodywork.
In my sessions, I weave together my expertise in trauma healing, Abdominal Therapy, pelvic therapy, breathwork, somatic coaching and sexuality, tailored to what you need. Energy work is also possible, but always with both feet firmly on the ground. That’s where we do this work, after all.

“Elisabeth is a master space holder.
Her radiant presence and pitch perfect guidance combined with the container of trust and love she holds allowed me to connect so deep and intimately with myself and my innate wisdom.
I came home to myself in a big way.”
