Listening to the body as a way to deepen our emotional understanding.
Welcome, I’m Wendy van Telgen. For over 20 years, I’ve been guiding people through body-oriented therapy towards greater balance and connection with themselves.
In 2001, during a journey through Nepal, I met a Shiatsu teacher who inspired me to follow my passion for body-oriented therapy.
Since then, I have worked from a foundation of knowledge and training, but above all from my intuition. In doing so, I listen with my hands and feel with my heart. My work is rooted in presence, touch, and trust in the innate healing capacity within each of us.
Rebalancing and Shiatsu form the foundation of my practice. Through conscious touch, I support you in reconnecting with your body — with what you feel, where your boundaries lie, and what you need to feel safe.
In recent years, my work has increasingly focused on a trauma-informed approach. I specialized in NARM and Somatic Experiencing — methods that support reconnection with yourself and the gentle release of long-held tensions. These approaches are based on the understanding that trauma is held in the body and that healing can unfold through the body and awareness.
