Listening to the body as a way to deepen our emotional understanding.
Welcome, I’m Wendy van Telgen. In 2001, during a journey through Nepal, I met a shiatsu teacher who opened my heart to the world of body-oriented therapy. That encounter set me on a path I have been walking ever since, with love and curiosity.
Rebalancing and Shiatsu have long formed the foundation of my work. Over the past years, I’ve deepened my focus on trauma. How early experiences, prolonged stress, and significant life events become held in the body and shape the way we connect with ourselves and others. This work, including approaches like NARM and Somatic Experiencing, has refined and slowed my approach, with attention to personal agency and whatever arises in the present moment.
I work not only from my knowledge and training, but above all from my intuition. My work is rooted in genuine presence, a listening touch, and a deep trust in the self-healing capacity that lives within each of us.
