 "Tell me, and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand”

Confucius

Karen helps you to understand what your body is telling you. She makes you aware of how much our body ‘knows’, both in a pleasant, loving sense as well as in an unpleasant and painful sense. Everything you’ve experienced is stored not only in your memory, but also in your body.

The fact that your body has a memory means that it can open up a very powerful and clear way to gain insight into your complaints, which may already have been unexplained for many years. By giving you her full attention and helping you to interpret the complaints, Karen gives you insight into your complaints so you can understand them better. She'll look for a way to ventilate the emotion.

"As long as I can remember I've been busy with movement and being moved (as in 'being affected'). As a young girl I realized that when you are moved by something (music, a film) or a person has an moving effect on you, you sense it in your body. Both in a negative and a positive way. This fascinated me and this fascination planted the seed for my further development and the profession I practise nowadays with a lot of joy and passion."
