Hi, I'm Gabriëlla, welcome!
​

1:1 Somatic Coaching

​
​My 1:1 somatic coaching invites you to reconnect with yourself, your body, and your own nature.

It is an invitation to listen more deeply again - to what you already are and what you already know.
​
It supports you in returning to rhythms and ways of living that truly nourish you. It opens space for authentic and free self‑expression, strengthens your capacity to make aligned choices, and helps you come into right relationship with yourself and with your environment.
​

Becoming more of who you are


​This work guides you in paving the way for what matters most to you, and in taking grounded, embodied steps toward what you desire.

Whether you find yourself in a life transition, feeling stuck in some area of life, exhausted from analysing or relying on willpower, or simply longing for a deeper and clearer connection to yourself and your natural wisdom -
​
this work walks with you, slowly and steadily, into becoming more of who you are truly meant to be.

Fertility & Pregnancy


​A special part of this work is open to women or couples who are wishing to conceive, or who are already pregnant.
​
Here, somatic coaching offers gentle support to bring the wisdom of the body into this journey, to move with greater well-being through all the changes, and to cultivate a warm welcome and deep connection with your baby - already before birth, or even before conception.

What is somatic coaching?


Somatic coaching is a form of guidance that invites not only conversation, but also attention to what is happening in your body. Your body holds information that thinking alone often cannot access. By slowing down and listening inwardly, you begin to reconnect with yourself in a deeper and more grounded way.

In our sessions, we start by arriving in the present moment and noticing what is alive for you. From there, we gently follow the signals of your body and inner world, in your own pace. Nothing needs to be fixed or forced. Instead, we create space for what wants to be felt, understood, or integrated.

This approach helps you move beyond repeating patterns, access your own inner wisdom, and create sustainable change. It can support you in navigating life transitions, overwhelm, questions of direction, fertility or parenthood journeys, or simply a longing to feel more at home in yourself.

Sessions offer a regenerative space to restore connection with yourself, build resilience, and gradually discover new pathways forward - so life can become more nourishing and aligned with who you truly are.

This call is a space for us to get to know each other and to sense whether we’re a good match for this work. We’ll explore your question or desire, and I’ll share more about my way of working. It’s an opportunity for you to feel into the work, and for me to sense if and how I can support you.

And no worries - this is not a sales call. It’s simply an honest exploration, shared over a cup of tea via Zoom. There’s no pressure to decide anything during or immediately after the call. You’ll have time to let things settle and feel into what’s right for you. I'd be happy to meet you!

A bit more about me:
​

Afbeelding
Since 2008, I have been working as a life coach in my own practice, offering both 1:1 sessions and group workshops. Since 2013, I have also been guiding individuals and couples through fertility and pregnancy, with a strong focus on deepening the connection with your (future) child.

In 2021, at 40, I very unexpectedly became a mother. A life-changing experience, that has brought greater depth and richness to both my personal life and my work. Witnessing the unfolding of a new human life, and meeting myself in the role of a mother, has deepened my passion for supporting people through fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood - and for working with the early childhood layers that often surface in somatic coaching with adults.

My work is shaped by more than 25 years of experience, study, training, and personal development - as a coach, a client, and a student. From this, I’ve developed a gentle yet clear approach that supports the release and transformation of deeper limiting patterns, while opening space for new, healthy pathways to emerge. 

I am a multiple‑certified coach and have trained with Dr. Sarah Coxon (Regenerative Alchemy Advanced Somatic Coaching, UK), Lea Hamann (Awakening Coach Ausbildung, DE) and Hoogendijk Coaching & Training (Bezielingscoach Opleiding, NL).

Other teachers and modalities that inspire my work include Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine), Alchemical Alignment (Brigit Viksnins), energy work for personal and business use (Hiro Boga), the field of pre‑ and perinatal psychology, and conscious breathwork (Norma Delaney). Nature is perhaps my greatest teacher and source of inspiration.

I’m based in the Netherlands and offer sessions online in both English and Dutch. I’ve worked with people across Europe, the United States, New Zealand, and Japan. If your time zone aligns with my availability, you’re very welcome.

I live with my husband and our child, enjoying a simple yet fulfilling family life. I love being a mother and a coach, and I feel grateful that I can combine the two. In my free time, you’ll often find me outside with my four‑year‑old, in nature, listening to music (preferably live), spending time with friends, dancing around the house, baking, and continuing to cultivate a more loving relationship with myself, my body, and the natural world. I dream of one day welcoming a cat into our home, playing the cello again, and living in a world where we meet each other with kindness, respect, and real connection.

My life has been a deep journey of self‑discovery and healing. It was somatic work that helped me truly land in my body, access my own inner wisdom - in a very practical and down-to-earth yet soul-connected way, and move beyond long‑held patterns that once limited me. I feel deeply grateful to this work, and happy to play a part in expanding the work into the world.

What clients are saying: 
​(Some translated from Dutch)

"In the sessions with Gabriëlla I experience a lot of comfort and a welcoming space. I appreciate her ability to guide me intuitively, with compassion and also clarity. 

I never feel rushed or judged, instead I feel her trust in me and my unfolding, and also that she is at my side, well knowing many landscapes of the soul, energy and body of human nature. 

What unfolds in our time together is often so surprising and healing. I am glad to have her, already for many years, as a warm and wise companion at my side on my journey. 

​ - Stefanie, somatic coaching client
"Gabriëlla is someone with whom it feels very easy and pleasant to connect. There is a sense of safety and trust, which made me immediately feel excited to start this journey. These are exactly my themes, and for me it is essential that a coach feels like home - and she truly does.

The journey has changed a lot for me. Each session was a moment of rest, of being fully here and now. I became increasingly aware of my body and my inner process - my feelings. I often found it difficult to connect with them and tended to stay in my head, which is why this work was so valuable to me. I began to understand myself better, and that brings a deep sense of calm.

Gabriëlla’s voice is soothing and very meditative. It has a healing quality. I experienced each session as a beautiful moment in the week, full of inspiration and insight, followed by a sense of peace. Sometimes it was emotional, and things would always begin to flow again."

 - Somatic coaching client
"Just your presence alone is calming. During my first pregnancy, I had a deep connection with the stillness within myself, and that was such a precious time. After the pregnancy, that sacred space within me slowly faded, but after our sessions the feeling fully returned. It feels so good to be able to experience this again during this pregnancy. Thank you."

- Pregnancy coaching client
​

"As time went on I came to know my baby, and feel him, and when he was born and now - it feels - it's so hard to put into words - it feels as if our hearts know each other, like I know the essence of him, this beautiful pure loving joyful excited soul that just shines - and I also know - I don't know how - but I also know him as a man, and I'm so proud of him. Without a doubt the sessions really helped me to connect like this with him."

- Pregnancy coaching client

​
​"The bond with my baby is very strong now, also after completing the journey, and I feel him clearly. We are able to connect very quickly, and I experience a soul connection. It happens with great ease - the connection is there instantly. When I allow my intuition to speak, I know the answers to my questions as a mother. Something truly precious."

​- Pregnancy coaching client
​
"In the sessions, I found it beautiful to open myself so consciously [to receiving a child]. Instead of trying to focus on becoming pregnant, I learned to enjoy the path toward it. That was challenging at times, but it also brought a sense of relaxation during an otherwise stressful period."

​- Fertility coaching client


"Having you as our guide was a gift of a lifetime and I will be forever grateful. The peace you connected me to again and again has deeply helped and healed our family in ways I struggle to put into words - I didn't even know how much we needed you. Thank you for everything!"

- Pregnancy coaching client

​
"The sessions made me feel joyful, a feeling of ease, and being taken care of. I felt like you were so confident, and experienced - like you always were in tune with what to say or do and how to guide the session. It felt like you were always listening really deeply - not only to the words, but to something much deeper. I really loved the way you described things - the way you talked and guided us, it was so beautiful. Just the things you said, it was always perfect." 

- Pregnancy coaching client
​

"In the sessions, I found a sense of calm that I deeply needed during a phase of many changes. They offered moments of stillness where I could ground myself again and provided an anchor to return to whenever it was needed." - Annechien

"I experienced Gabriëlla as loving, grounded, and clear in her guidance. She is highly skilled in her work and truly knows what she is doing." - Anne de Greeff

​"I have come closer to myself and experience more grounding, calm, and enjoyment." - Florien Kortenhorst

"The sessions brought me very close to my feelings. Each time, the essence of what was present was touched. I felt the space to access parts of myself that normally don’t reveal themselves so easily. In my view, this is truly an art - to be able to reach those parts." - Janna van Leeuwen

​"Through the sessions, I’m beginning to feel more clearly what I want and discovering how I can bring my own desires into reality." - Client

"Your sessions are always a new experience with myself - a refreshing journey into the infinity of my inner realm, always returning safely to the original point of departure. The invitation you offer to remember who you truly are is brought with a passion and sincerity that I would call rare. Your voice is calming and evokes a deep sense of trust." - R.B.

"With her guidance, Gabriëlla can bring you into connection with your body, your grounding, and the love and guidance of your soul - and that feels so good. A true enrichment of life." - Client

​"Finally, I’m receiving the tools that help me feel better in my own skin." - Client

"Gabriëlla has a way of working that is both light and deep, fully attuned to the other person. With love and humor, she supports people in strengthening their own foundation. She sees a person’s potential and strength and invites it forward with every breath." - Ymkje

"Through the sessions, I have become more loving toward myself and have softened my inner attitude toward myself." - J.A.

"Since the sessions, I no longer focus so much on how others do things, but instead follow my own unique path, which makes me feel much stronger and more energized." - Client

"The sessions with Gabriëlla were surprisingly calm and simple, and at the same time deep and effective. I felt that I couldn’t do anything wrong, and that gave me a sense of peace. In that peace, I was able to relax and feel whatever needed to be felt. There were no intense emotional outbursts or inner suffering, but rather loving kindness, recognition, and acknowledgment of my inner world. It surprised me how much impact simply acknowledging and embracing what was alive within me had on how I felt after the sessions. It felt like a fundamental change, held in a very loving way." - Katinka
​
"The atmosphere in the sessions felt familiar, warm, and loving. My self-love has deepened, both within myself and in relation to others." - R.M.
