Sascha Anna Vriend

Clinical Psychologist & Mind Body Therapist

‘As a mind-body therapist working with women of all ages, I have learnt that overwhelming physical experiences can disconnect women from their own bodies, estranging them from their sense of Self. When overwhelming or traumatic experiences happen in the body, blockages occur on a somatic level. The emotions can become “stuck” though muscular, visceral and physiological alterations. To heal, it is important for women to have a safe and containing space where they can release these blockages and reconnect to their sense of self-compassion, femininity, and vitality (life force!).’

‘Nowadays it is relatively common for women to seek help for fertility problems or sexual difficulties. However, the particular tabboo’s surrounding both miscarriage and abortion translate into a relatively small number of women actually knowing that these experiences are common, that there is help available and that they deserve to be supported.’

‘My professional background is in Psychology, Counselling and Therapy, working for over 15 years with families. I have a special interest in creative therapies like art therapy, dance and movement to bring balance, regulation and rediscover freedom and joy. There can be many reasons for stopping ourselves from being creative or living life to the fullest. Loss and grief or a painful, challenging fertility journey can be particularly significant.

Releasing what we hold in our body, is the foundation to heal, and expand our awareness, creativity and resilience to live a healthy, fulfilling life.

“When I discovered and studied Sound Therapy, Breathwork and Meditation, I was an entrepreneur in the tech world, constantly in a rush. I didn't make much time for myself, because work was always more important. Sound, breathwork, and meditation became such essential tools for my life that now, I make these tools accessible to you. As I believe that learning to tune in, listen and breathe, are the most important skills we could develop to see ourselves and the world around us more clearly, make better decisions and be more present in our life.”
