welcome !

​

My name is Koen Verzellenberg.
I live and work in Amsterdam.
Over the past 20 years I became interested in how to live in a way that is enjoyable and healthy for me and my environment.
The deep realization the effect of persistent stress has on ourselves and our environment has moved me to start working in this area. What ways of survival did you develop then and what do you really need from that here and now?  How these persistent patterns still can play out with all the painful consequences.
 

Out of this this interest I became a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and NARM Practioner and work with knowledge from Transactional Analysis, NLP, Systemic work, EMI (Eye Movement Intergration) and IFS (Internal Family Systems).

I am a dedicated practitioner of  Ashtanga yoga and pranayama and have a deep interest in Advaita Vedanta.
Following (silent) retreats since 2004 with group meetings and individual sessions, where all facets of life were discussed, have formed an important personal and professional basis in the work I do now.

I am available to anyone with an interest in healing themselves, living in connection and full potential.

​

​By regularly attending courses, workshops and retreats with various (international) teachers, I keep my level up to date and continue to deepen my knowledge. 
 

Over the years I have learned (and still do) to take things step by step, learn from them and integrate slowly into increasing maturity, compassion, gentleness, strength, vibrance and presence.
