Are you tired of numbing, playing small, shutting down?
And wanting to feel more alive, present and grounded?
Is there a forgotten dream, or whisper of something that wants to shift in you?
Perhaps you're at a crossroads in your life and want to make a change?
Discover the transformative power of embodied self-discovery and expression
Our familiar ways of being often leave us feeling rushed, disconnected and depleted. Stuck in the same thought patterns and limiting beliefs. Look outside ourselves for answers and guidance, we lose touch with our dreams and life force energy. We push on, putting on a brave face even though it isn't working.
What if we allowed ourselves to deeply feel? To soften into our body? To trust and listen to our inner voice? To move with confidence and inhabit our life more fully and authentically?
I am excited to offer Deep Body Movement ® & Embodied Art journeys online and in Amsterdam. Join me for an empowering journey of self-discovery and soul expression.
Move. Dance. Be still. Feel. Notice. Express what is true to you. Imagine and Come Alive!

Reminded of hope and potential
"Before the session I felt quite flat. A tired heaviness eventually started to lift as Carmen gently guided me to feel and release. Afterwards, I felt invigorated, full of a renewed hope. I was viscerally reminded of the potential of new hope and growth. The session added a real spring in my step. Even two days after, I was able to easily return to the beautiful winter landscape, if I just close my eyes for a moment, I go back there and I have the feelings of resourcefulness and potential in my body."
Deep rest and nourishment
"Finding the deep rest of winter in my body was a revelation. Now, I can consciously choose to enter that resourceful space again and give myself the rest I need. I feel so much more grounded and connected. Carmen created an elaborate detailed experience and evocative journey. "
Connect deeper into your inner world and express it through movement, art making and writing
Many coaching frameworks focus on the congitive mind, ignoring what your body and soul are trying to communicate.
Through Deep Body movement and embodied art, we access other layers of knowing, move through emotions, open paths for healing and transformation.
Embodiment practices, art making, guided journaling and reflection will help you find answers, integrate them and make lasting change.
Think of this as planting the seeds of whatever you wish to create in your life or business.
Reclaim your creative nature
A guided Deep Body Movement ® practice helps you restore your connection with your inner world and access a more calm and resourced state. From here you'll gain clarity on next steps. We connect with nature within and around us.
Nature shows us how to move through cycles of release and renewal, rest and bloom.
I guide you to use nature's cycles and your body's intelligence as a source of inspiration, clarity and direction.
Not at a distance, through your rational mind, but through letting your body move and offer answers. You will gain clarity on what needs to be released to make space for the new and restore your inner balance, so you can move forward with ease.

Intuitive and expressive
"I went into the session with a lot of frustration and feelings of overwhelm. I felt held and safe by Carmen’s clear guidance and soft and calming voice. It was a profound journey that allowed me to express myself and brought me in contact with inner resources and energy that I really needed. I loved the intuitive way of this session and the combination of movement and visual artistic expression. I highly recommend this Deep Body journey with Carmen."
New inspiration and clarity
"I discovered it's not just possible, but also easy to connect to nature in the middle of the city, once we set our intention to do so and let the body lead the way. After the session I felt recharged and noticed a shift in how I experience my body: I am taking up space more effortlessly. I was also able to tap into creative flow and easily complete the outline for a creative project. I created two mindmaps and have more clarity than before on my next steps for the project. I was surpised at the clarity and inspiration that have emerged."
