“In working with Liesje, I have more of a sense that I’m entering and embracing me and my existence on this earth, in spirit and in this body. I feel at ease with myself, more supportive of myself, so I can give more.”

Liesje has 30 years experience in comprehensive and deep somatic practices that can support your healing using touch, movement and mindful listening
This work is for you if you suffer from:
accidents or impeding surgeries: including brain and spinal injuries, whiplash
born with neurological and structural disorders: spina bifida, Tongue Tie, TMJ
Structural issues that interfere with functional movement: walking, sitting, balance
Dysfunction due to aging: stroke, broken hip, isolation
too much sitting or driving
depleted due to aging, anxiety or stress
Emotional dis-ease like feeling forgotten, harassed, objectified, neurodiverse or misunderstood or any relatable ongoing emotional issues that are difficult to change.
We all need support to change difficult things, especially for the wellbeing of your whole body and being. That is primary. You don’t have to go it alone.
My hands-on and movement Rolfing training helps me specialize in brain injuries, dental surgery, other surgeries, scars, wide range of pelvic and postural issues, sexual abuse trauma, identity traumas, Complex PTSD and other impairments that always show up as structural hindrances and remain as restrictions in an overall flow of integral health, unless addressed.
I use Rolfing Structural Integration®, Rolf Movement®, Body Mind Centering® and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy® as well as The Tag Method for Trauma Repatterning and Integration® to offer:
a well rounded experience of therapeutic touch
how to move better by feeling more support in gravity, rather than weighed down by it
Feel relief and regain a sense of stability, balance, and fluidity
be more dynamic in the world
cultivate your own unique agency and aliveness
discover and increase the body’s generative resilience to heal
ground in one’s own experiences through all of the senses for greater pleasure and sense of security
You can achieve substantial structural changes in these holistic ways, because you get to access your sense of self as being one with volume, weight and lightness and that is how we all are in relationship with gravity and dynamic motion. When structural tissue (fascia) unravels through these types of engaged and integrating therapies, energetic blockages, emotional suffering and physical impairments can more easily resolve.

“How is this [our Functional Integration session] Rolf Movement? What makes it different?
The answer is, it’s working, but you almost have to tell people it’s working; I feel lighter, I feel less burdened and more connected with my surroundings. I can spend a lot more time in that space now.”

“ After our second treatment, I could feel my fingers again. I started writing and drawing, I could play my guitar again and I felt so hopeful! A depression I wasn’t even aware of lifted with this shift and ability to use my hands again. My feet began to feel less painful as well. I could hike and ski again without considerable pain.
These treatments absolutely changed my life. It is now 2022 and over six months since I began treatment and the results remain positive! I am so grateful for this treatment and Liesje’s calm and experienced approach.”
