Bridge the gap between your mind and your body

Welcome – It is a pleasure to connect with you through the Expat Counseling Center.

How we work together

Using Body-Oriented Coaching, we explore exactly where you hold tension and how your breath responds to pressure. Through targeted dialogue, movement, and—if you are comfortable with it—light, supportive touch, we help your brain and body work as a team again.

The result? You don’t just understand your boundaries; you actively feel them. You don’t just study self-care; you embody it. By fully experiencing the physical feelings tied to stressful moments, you become deeply aware of your patterns and learn how to sustainably change them.

About your coach: Baafje Zwijnenburg

Before dedicating myself to body-oriented coaching, I worked as an emergency room nurse for over 20 years. This extensive medical background means my approach is firmly rooted in safety and pragmatism. I completed my professional training as a body-oriented coach at the Esoterra institute in Amsterdam, blending clinical understanding with effective physical techniques.

My coaching style is completely grounded—you won’t find any vague or floaty terminology here. Instead, I balance a focused, professional approach with a genuine sense of lightness, offering a safe, no-nonsense space designed for clear results.
