Belgium

As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I worked for the last 23 years in a general hospital in Bruges where I met a lot of clients with physical injuries, chronic diseases, trauma and pain.
Through the years, I learned to listen not only to their words and their stories but also to their signals and the language of their bodies. As I practised yoga myself, I became more and more aware of my own body. I felt the benefits of it and wanted to inspire and share the experience with others: I became a yoga teacher. To combine both, helping people suffering from pain, trauma and stress as a psychotherapist and sharing the re-connecting of the body in yoga, I became a Facilitator in Trauma Sensitive Yoga. Since 2022 I’m working in my own private practice Circumflexx where I focus on re-finding yourself in a safe place, where your wounds possibly can turn into power. I offer Psychotherapy, TCTSY, or combined. You are very welcome to meet me but even more welcome to meet yourself!

I have always been curious about the human being: curious about the differences, but maybe even more curious about the sameness of all human beings. It was after an initial career as an interpreter and after travels around the world and living in different cultures, that I decided to make this my main focus in life. I started pursuing studies to understand more about being human: psychotherapy, life coaching, yoga therapy, a yoga teacher training. Becoming a TCTSY facilitator is the latest layer of what I would describe as my journey of learning and growing, in which each layer of new learning seems to only hold when the layers underneath have ample stability.

Originally from the Netherlands, I now live in Belgium and have my private therapy practice in the center of Antwerp.

Ik ben altijd nieuwsgierig geweest naar het mens-zijn: nieuwsgierig naar de verschillen, maar misschien nog wel nieuwsgieriger naar de gelijkenissen tussen alle mensen. Na een aanvankelijke carrière als tolk en na vele reizen over de wereld en leven in verschillende culturen, besloot ik dit tot mijn belangrijkste focus in het leven te maken. Ik begon studies te volgen om mij verder te verdiepen in het mens-zijn: psychotherapie, life-coaching, yogatherapie, een opleiding tot yoga docent. TCTSY facilitator worden is de laatste laag van wat ik zou beschrijven als mijn reis van leren en groeien, waarin elke laag van nieuw leren alleen bruikbaar lijkt als de lagen eronder voldoende stabiliteit hebben.

Ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Nederland, maar woon nu in België en ik heb mijn privé-therapiepraktijk in het centrum van Antwerpen.

Jolien has always been fascinated with the mind-body connection. Her curiosity led her on a journey from Belgium to Tanzania to India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. After working with street children and researching indigenous healing modalities in Tanzania, her focus moved East. Jolien has been exploring yoga, its philosophy, and its healing capacities for the last ten years. After teaching internationally, she moved back to her native Belgium to facilitate trauma-sensitive yoga and yoga therapy as holistic healing modalities for mental health. Jolien is excited to share with you a practice that is empowering, non-coercive, and that invites you to connect with your body in the present moment at your own pace. She facilitates both individual sessions and group classes in Dutch and English.

Julie is a Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Facilitator (TCTSY-F). She holds a Master’s Degree in Educational Sciences and in Sexology. She is also qualified in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Julie has spent over ten years doing research and working alongside people with a history of or current alcohol or drug dependency. For the last few years, she has been practicing yoga and Bikram yoga and became more and more passionate about it.

Feeling that there was more to supporting people than purely cognitive or behavioral approaches, she began to explore the role of the body in supporting people. She received her certification as a TCTSY-F in 2021 and has since been teaching trauma-sensitive yoga. She has facilitated spaces for groups including women and men in recovery from substance abuse and is coordinating qualitative research looking into the benefits of TCTSY for people in recovery.

She welcomes inquiries from anyone who might like to practice with her or discuss research opportunities on TCTSY. She is eager to work alongside counselors, therapists, GPs, and clinical psychologists to offer TCTSY to people with multiple traumatic life experiences and/or substance dependency.
