1. Coaching for healing
For chronic fatigue, ME/CFS and nervous system dysregulation.
Personal coaching for people who want to understand their nervous system, reconnect with themselves and support their healing process. Whether you follow a healing program or not, together we fine tune your practice, we work with any challenges that arise, deepen safety, and bring more regulation on board.
- Learn how to self-regulate
- Create safety from within
- Feel more connected to yourself and your environment
- And much more
3. Psychosocial Therapy
For deeper personal work.
Body oriented therapy for personal themes, patterns, challenges, in order to feel more connected to yourself and to life. My approach is body-centered (somatic) and psychosocial, which means we combine talking with feeling and paying close attention to your nervous system.
- Addressing challenges like boundaries, self-image, tension, anxiety, or sensory overload.
- Discover how to feel what is alive inside of you and understand what your system truly needs
- no rigid protocols, just personalized care
A different way of approaching recovery
When you have lived with chronic fatigue or a sensitive nervous system for a long time, it can be easy to become focused on symptoms, protocols and what you should be doing. I believe recovery is not only about following the right protocol. It is also about learning to listen to yourself, feel what is happening in your body, and gradually develop a deeper sense of safety, self-trust and connection.
My work brings together psychological insights, nervous system regulation and body-oriented practices- always adapted to the person in front of me.
Others about the coaching:
"I would really like to thank Paulien for her insightful coaching sessions which I have enjoyed over the past few months. I had previously been following the Gupta Program for about a year and derived enormous benefits particularly from the weekly webinars with Ashok. I realized I was looking for some deeper insights into some of the personal issues that had come up for me and Paulien was the perfect 'sounding board'. Her warmth and understated explanations have helped to deepen my experience not only of the Gupta program but in many areas of my life which I believe has resulted in a much healthier and happier me! I would like to think I could call on Paulien again sometime in the future for more of her valuable insights." FG (UK)
About Paulien
I love nature!! it was a long time one of the few places where I could find some sense of safety, stability, and peace. Even though I was sleeping uncomfortably in a tent, did not digest the food right, felt a constant level of exhaustion, nature lifted me up... because, in some way it was soothing, I could return back into my body and heart.
Very early in life, I got disconnected from myself and prone to stress, viruses, and environmental influences. It took me more than a decade to slowly find my way back to health. I learned to work with myself. Discovering what I needed and when I needed it, and started to give value to the hunches my system was giving me.
My practice is based in the Netherlands since 2012. I speak Dutch and English and I work with people all over the world.
