Hi there!
My name is Marije. Born and raised in the Netherlands. Explorer of life and the deeper layers of myself and humankind. My vision is for all beings to live an enjoyable life where we feel free to be and do whatever is alignment with our most authentic self and the Earth's highest frequencies.
I lovingly offer you my support on your life's journey.
Well Connected Being
In april 2021, Well Connected Being was born. It holds my vision of a space where we can be(come) a well connected being.
Connected to ourselves. Connected to each other. Connected to our community. Connected to the Earth and ground upon which we stand.
After many years have passed, and with developments in my personal and professional life, this name and vision still encompasses everything I stand for and everything I (wish to) do and share. What that entails, I would love to share with you!
Holistic Self-Connection
I take a holistic approach to self-connection. And to life, for that matter. I believe everything is connected to everything else. Our body, mind and spirit are connected to each other. And we, as an individual, are connected to our surroundings. When we widen our lense, we may learn to see and understand these connections, and we may begin to understand ourselves more and more. When we disconnect from parts of ourselves and our surroundings, we are missing out on valuable information. I like to help you gather this information, restore the connections, so you may become a more well connected being. Which, in my experience, provides the basis for a good life.
My Story
In my life, I have felt lost and disconnected from myself and my surroundings. And I am not surprised about that. When I look at my life, and at society - it is no wonder I have felt lost and disconnected, and it is no wonder that many people do. Unfortunately, society enforces the disconnect. From a young age, we are asked to listen to authorities, perform, use our head instead of listen to our body, heart and intuition. Many things and many people in this world do not encourage self-connection, confidense and embodiment.
So we have to do the work ourselves to be well-connected.
I was quite young - early teenage years - when I realized this state of the world, of my peers, and of myself. And I didn't like it. In fact, I was unable to participate in the disconnect in the same way that my peers did, by drinking, going out, chasing boys, sex, addiction, status, etc. That path was never meant for me. So I chose to disconnect myself from my surroundings, so I could connect with myself. I learned about myself through astrology, reading self-help books, hearing other people to share about their stories and healing journeys, and later on I found mindfulness, meditation, yoga, bodywork, conscious connection, tantra, etc. The way there was rough at times, isolated from the world around me I felt quite depressed and lonely. I struggled with health issues, an eating disorder and negative self-image. But somehow I always remained the hope - the trust - that life will become better. I kept showing up for myself. Reaching out for support. Continued with helpful practices. Remained compassionate towards myself. I was patient. And eventually, gained enough confidence in myself to show up in the world. I knew myself now, and I trusted myself. And so I could find healthy and safe connections with my surroundings again. I found more people like me. I learned to trust and connect with others again, and I felt safe enough to express my silly and playful self, my raw and authentic self.
I am so grateful for my journey. And I would not have gotten here if it wasn't for the development of a secure base in myself. It is the place I can always come back to now, whenever life challenges me, I know I can come home to myself. And that is such a comfort.
Embodied Wisdom
I believe we all hold wisdom within us. In our body. In our heart. In our womb, our belly.
Embodied wisdom is the ability to listen to this inner knowing, and to follow and express it.
It is not through thinking, but through feeling we connect to our inner wisdom. Through being present with what is alive in the body in this moment.
Many of us were taught to look for answers outside of ourselves, or only in the mind. But the body carries its own intelligence. When we slow down, drop into the present moment, and allow ourselves to truly feel, we begin to hear its guidance. The body knows.
Connect with me.
If my story, vision and approach resonate with you: welcome!
I would be delighted to meet you, connect with you, and explore how I might support you on your journey of self-connection and embodied living.
There are several ways we can work together:
We can meet 1-on-1 for personal guidance and support. In these sessions there is space for your story, your questions, your needs and desires. I will listen, and support you with the experience, insights and tools I have gathered along my own journey. Our work can be intuitive, or we can focus on something specific you would like support with. It always begins with a first meeting, where we get to know each other and feel whether there is a good match.
You are also welcome to join one of the workshops, gatherings, events or courses that I facilitate throughout the year. Some of these take place at Sedna Herstelacademie (free of charge), and others are announced through my Hipsy page.
I also offer guidance and workshops for women who want to deepen their connection with their menstrual cycle and fertility. Learning to understand my own cycle and how it shapes my energy, emotions and daily life has been deeply supportive for me. It is something I love sharing with other women — while also learning from their experiences and wisdom.
And if you feel a spark for collaboration or a shared project, I would love to hear from you. I truly enjoy working together with others and co-creating meaningful offerings and experiences.
If you feel a resonance with this work, you are warmly welcome to reach out.
We can schedule a first meeting, where there is space to get to know each other, explore your intentions, and feel whether working together would be supportive for you.
