The first time on earth is an important phase in a person's life, in which you gain many experiences that sometimes last a lifetime. The beginning of life is about how you came into being, your right to exist, where you come from and much more. It is possible that questions arise in or about this period. The birth of your children can give rise to many questions, for example because the birth had an impact on you or because it throws you back into grief that you were unaware of. It is also possible that you have discovered in a constellation that you are a single-born twin or that you are stuck in life due to a burnout and you do not know where it comes from.
Because this period is not directly in your consciousness, you can sometimes walk around for years with unanswered questions, stress or relationship problems.
The experiences of your own birth often play a major role in your life, unconsciously. How you stand in life often brings you back to this time, even if it is not in your consciousness. We look for the common threads in your life. I ask questions and through touch or hypnosis we see if we can get to the essence.
People usually come with a specific question, for example because they were born twins alone or because one of the parents died during pregnancy. It could also be that you were born after your mother had a miscarriage or because your father was ill at the time of your birth. I will just mention a few examples.
The period around the birth of your child(ren) is often a special time in your life. It can be a beautiful time full of joy and fun, but also intense, sad or incredibly painful.
Questions may arise because problems arise during pregnancy or the time after the birth of your child. Perhaps the delivery went differently than you had hoped or you became pregnant while you were not ready for it. It is also possible that issues from the past come to the surface. Both during pregnancy, during delivery or the time after the birth.
Sometimes in life you get situations that ask the utmost of you. A premature birth has more impact than anyone can imagine. A child that dies is loss in the rawest form. It can be so valuable if there is someone who can support you, think along and empathize with you in everything that is going on.
If you want to prepare for the birth, you can do this with pregnancy haptonomy. The guidance is 6 times, of which 5 before the birth and 1 after the birth. This can be done together with your partner and also if you are a single parent.
The birth of your child is all-encompassing. It is often beautiful and intense, but can also be difficult and confusing. This package is an opportunity to reflect on the birth of your child and to come more into your feelings and your experiences. The first session is 1-2 weeks after the birth of your child and the 2nd session between 4-10 weeks.
When your children are growing up, there may be situations that require your attention. This may relate to you as a parent, but it may also be that your child shows something that puzzles you. Perhaps there is a divorce and your child has a hard time with this. Or your child gets angry quickly or experiences periods of sadness. It may also be that your child is highly sensitive or has above-average intelligence.
It can be helpful if someone looks with you at what is needed for your situation. My way of working is playful and I focus on "reading" the signals that your child and you as parents show. You will receive tools and exercises to reduce tension in your child and yourself. It is nice if you come together with your child. I can also observe a lot through the mother's heart, so if it is not possible for your child to come along, that is also completely fine.
I felt empty and cut off from myself after the birth of my first. Martine came to me in the first week after the birth. With a lot of peace and love she managed to reconnect me with my body. Somehow she managed to "finish" something that was not closed due to the unexpected caesarean section. It was an important step in my recovery. Martine also came to me after a few days during my second birth. My baby daughter fell asleep while I was lovingly touched by Martine. And I really needed that touch after yet another birth that did not go according to plan. I wish every woman who has just given birth a Martine!

Eleven years ago I met Martine. Pregnant for the first time. I didn't want to learn to puff in a group. Just because my husband wasn't going to do that. My fear of giving birth was also a reason to go to Martine. 3 pregnancies and 3 times my husband came along. That in itself was a miracle. Martine breaks the ice. She just feels what is there, and knows how to turn "that" around. How? Humor, her radiant laugh, her inviting questions and by doing! Practical and informative, exactly what he needed. Because of Martine I also knew what I needed. I am so proud of us!
