Real, Relational,
Rooted in the Body
Transformation isn’t about fixing yourself- it’s about shedding what no longer fits, and meeting life as it is. My approach is grounded in presence, body awareness, and deep relational inquiry.
We begin with what’s real in the moment: emotions, sensations, stuck energy, patterns, relationships. Together, we explore not only the surface- but the deeper structures underneath: stories, strategies, and nervous system responses.
Each session is attuned to where you are. There’s no rigid protocol- only what’s alive, asking to be seen, felt, and transformed.
“Your reality
isn’t the problem- it’s the doorway.”

Modalities I Integrate
This work draws from coaching and a range of embodied, nervous system–based, healing, and relational modalities. Below you’ll find a short explanation of each modality – click to read more about how it might support you.
Guided Inquiry & Reflection
Understand what moves you and where you (unconsciously) hold yourself back – through insight, self-reflection, and body awareness- to create new, more authentic responses—moving beyond old patterns into greater freedom and connection.
Read more
This work supports you in truly getting to know yourself: your patterns, strategies, and conditioning- how you’ve adapted to survive, to be accepted, or to avoid conflict.
Together, we explore themes like communication, autonomy, boundaries, and what you deeply long for in connection. At the same time, we begin to uncover where you hold yourself back; in avoidance, resistance, or the stories you believe about yourself.
When you get clear on the truth of your desires, you can also begin to see how you may (unconsciously) undermine them.
This work brings insight, but it doesn’t happen through thinking alone. We slow down so you can drop beneath the noise of thought. From there, a deeper knowing can emerge, not something you force, but something that naturally rises when there’s space and presence.
Guided inquiry and reflection foster clarity, self-awareness and help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
What you’ll experience:
- Clarity about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors
- Attunement to your emotional landscape
- Unwinding of patterns that no longer serve you
- Space to feel and process stuck energy or trauma
- A natural connection to intuition, clarity, and heart-led wisdom
- A growing sense of trust in yourself, your truth, and your path
“Sandra’s advice helped me deal with myself with more lightness, love, and self-care.”
– Corneé H.
Embodiment Practices (Embodiment, Breath- and Bodywork)
Connect with your body and emotional landscape. Create space for integration, healing, aliveness and inner calm.
Read more
Embodiment is the practice of being fully with yourself- body, emotion, breath, and sensation- without needing to change or judge what’s there. Through grounded techniques like body-based meditation and breath awareness, we explore your inner landscape with curiosity and compassion.
This helps unwind conditioned responses and brings you back to the intelligence of your body. As you learn to hold space for your feelings, your intuition and capacity for (self) love deepen.
In our sessions, I may integrate tools like guided relaxation, breathwork, hands-on bodywork, and grounding practices to help calm your nervous system and reconnect with your felt experience. These simple yet powerful techniques support energy release, emotional integration, and a deeper sense of safety in your body – so you can land more fully in yourself and open space for healing.
What you may experience:
- Presence and body-mind integration
- Emotional processing and release
- Freedom from control, judgment, and projection
- Access to inner guidance and grounded clarity
- Greater self-acceptance and personal power
- A felt sense of safety, ease, and belonging in your own body
“Every session with Sandra brought me closer to my real self – and shifted how I show up in the world.”
– Anja S.
Relational Work/ Conscious relationships
Seeing your patterns, breaking old dynamics, and creating real intimacy – in love, family, Also suitable for open relationships.
Read more
Relationships are the most powerful mirrors we have for our inner world. They show us where we’re open- and where we still protect, control, or abandon ourselves. Whether it’s tension in a romantic relationship, family dynamic, friendship, or a non-traditional relational structure (like polyamory)- relational work brings unconscious patterns to the surface.
It helps you not only see the pain, but also what’s possible. This work isn’t about “fixing” relationships. It’s about showing up differently within them. Through honest self-inquiry and practical tools, the way you relate to yourself and others begins to shift- creating space for deeper connection, clear boundaries, and love rooted in truth.
What you may experience:
- Awareness of attachment styles and relational patterns
- Tools for clear and loving communication, boundary-setting, and repair
- More honesty and intimacy in connection
- Greater clarity in love, conflict, and self-expression
- The ability to choose relationship from alignment, not fear
“Sandra helped us navigate our open relationship with honesty, compassion, and deep trust.”
– Marc & Sharon
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises)
Let go of long-held tension and find ease, healthy nervous system and emotional regulation, and a deeper connection to your body.
Read more
TRE® activates your body’s natural stress-release mechanism, helping you discharge stored tension- even trauma- and rebalance your nervous system. This mechanism is gently stimulated through simple physical exercises that help long-held (muscular) tension- often stored for years- to gradually discharge.
Especially helpful when talking doesn’t bring relief, TRE® is body-led, gentle, and doesn’t require you to relive the original story. This process helps regulate your nervous system and restore a sense of groundedness.
What you may experience:
- Relief from chronic tension and/or feeling overwhelmed
- Greater emotional and nervous system regulation and resilience
- Better sleep, digestion, and emotional balance
- A sense of groundedness, connection, and ease in your body
- Trauma release without needing to re-live the story
“Through TRE® with Sandra, I released years of emotional tension I didn’t even realize I was carrying.”
– Corneé H.
Microdosing (Psilocybin)
A subtle ally for inner clarity, openness, and sustainable change.
Read more
Microdosing involves taking a very small amount of psilocybin-containing truffles or mushrooms- not to trip, but to support emotional openness, clarity, and personal growth.
When used intentionally, with guidance, microdosing can be a gentle yet powerful support in transformational work.
It’s not about numbing or escaping- but about opening: opening to more awareness, emotional availability, and space to shift old patterns.
When used in a supported process, microdosing can soften inner resistance, enhance neuroplasticity, and create space between reaction and choice.
It often helps clients access insights and emotions that were unreachable through thinking alone.
I integrate microdosing as a gentle facilitator- not as the focus, but as a doorway. Combined with coaching, embodiment, and relational work, it can support real, lasting transformation.
What you may experience:
- Increased emotional flexibility and nervous system resilience
- Enhanced self-reflection and pattern awareness
- Subtle shifts in mood, reactivity, and connection
- Greater openness, curiosity, and intuitive clarity
- Breakthroughs where the mind was looping or stuck
- A more creative, bold, and grounded way of living
- A conscious, respectful relationship with plant-based tools
“Thanks to Sandra’s guidance, I became much more aware of my patterns. I learned to make space for my needs, to set better boundaries- and found more flow in my life.”
– Lennaert D.
