SOUNDHEALING
Soundhealing- Sound therapy
Soundhealing is rooted in the understanding that sound and vibration can influence how we experience ourselves and the world around us. Our bodies are living, responsive systems, and sound can affect us on many levels — physically, emotionally and mentally. The tones of the human voice and the sounds of different instruments can invite us to slow down, relax and become more aware of what is happening within us.
In my work, I use my voice and a wide range of instruments to create a space for relaxation, exploration and reconnection. Intention is an important part of this process. Before a session, we take a moment to explore what you would like to bring attention to or what you hope to receive from the experience. Sound and intention come together to shape the journey.
During an individual treatment, I guide you on an inward journey, beginning with your own intention. Through shamanic drums, ancient icaros (spirit songs), my voice and a variety of instruments, we create a soundscape that invites you to turn inward and listen more deeply.
You may find yourself entering a deeply relaxed, dreamlike state in which sounds and sensations become more vivid. Every experience is different. I attune to your presence and the needs you express, allowing the session to unfold intuitively through sound, touch and music, always with care and respect.
You are invited to relax, remain open to what arises and follow your own experience. You may encounter emotions, images, memories or moments of stillness — or simply enjoy the sounds and let yourself rest. There is no right way to experience a session, and nothing you need to achieve. It is an opportunity to make space for yourself and reconnect with what feels meaningful to you.
Soundhealing sessions are available individually or in a group.
Soundhealing formation
We also offer a formation for those who wish to explore the art of soundhealing and develop their own practice as a soundhealing practitioner.
You will learn to listen beyond the sounds themselves, exploring silence, resonance and the different qualities of sound produced by a variety of instruments and the human voice. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to discover how sound affects you personally, develop your listening skills and explore how to create a safe, attentive space for others.
This journey also involves getting to know yourself more deeply. Developing a soundhealing practice takes time, curiosity and a willingness to keep learning. We can share our experience, introduce you to the instruments and guide you through the process, but your own practice and personal exploration are what allow the learning to grow.
For us, soundhealing is not simply about learning to play instruments. It is also about listening, presence, intention and the relationship you build with sound — and with yourself.
You can find more information about this formation on our dedicated course page.
The right session for you
As mentioned earlier, we offer a variety of treatments, and soundhealing itself can take different forms. You can choose a longer, more in-depth session, with time to talk, explore your intention and work more deeply with sound and breath. Or you can opt for a shorter relaxation session, giving yourself time to unwind, rest and immerse yourself in the vibrations of the voice and instruments. Each session can be adapted to what you need in that moment.
Shamanic Breathing-soundhealing
After a short introductory conversation, we begin the Soundhealing Journey with a Breathing Sounds session. This is a connected-breathing practice similar to rebirthing, approached in our own way through shamanic traditions, spirit songs and a connection with the spirits of the rainforest.
The breathing session can last up to an hour, allowing time to settle into the process and explore your inner experience. From there, we continue with soundhealing, using the voice and a variety of instruments. As you relax and become more inwardly focused, you may find yourself experiencing the sounds in a different way, with greater awareness of their subtle qualities and how they resonate with you.
DUO SESSIONS
Sometimes an experience is even more meaningful when shared with someone else. Our Duo Sessions offer different possibilities, depending on what you are looking for.
You can book a session together with your partner, a friend or a family member, sharing the experience while each of you receives individual attention. Alternatively, you can choose a session in which both Juanita and Marijn work with you. For example, Juanita might offer a massage while Marijn accompanies the session with live music and soundhealing. Different combinations are possible, bringing together touch, sound, breath and music.
We also offer small group sessions at your home, creating an opportunity for family or friends to share an experience together in a familiar setting.
Every situation is different, so don't hesitate to get in touch and tell us what you have in mind. Together, we'll explore the possibilities and find a combination that suits you.
SINGING TO THE PLANTS
For many years, the spirits of the plants have been important teachers on our own path. In this work, we invite you to explore that relationship for yourself.
As in our soundhealing and icaro work, we connect with the qualities and energetic presence of the plants through song, sound and intention. In these sessions, we take this connection a step further, working with a particular plant teacher as part of your personal journey.
This is a deeper form of work that asks for care, patience and commitment. We usually recommend starting with a Breathing Sounds session, giving yourself time to become familiar with the process and to develop a stronger connection with your inner world. When the time feels right, we can explore whether plant spirit work might be a next step for you.
Working with the plants asks for dedication, discipline and an open heart. Depending on the plant and the tradition we work with, a specific diet and a period of preparation may be part of the process. These practices help you approach the work with greater attention and sensitivity. We will explain what is involved and guide you through the preparation, so you can make an informed choice about whether it feels right for you.
During our first conversation, we take time to listen to your story, your intentions and what you feel ready to explore. Together, we look at the possibilities and discuss which plant teacher might be a good fit for your journey.
We approach the master plants with deep respect, as teachers that can help us see ourselves more clearly. They may bring our feelings, habits and familiar patterns into sharper focus, inviting us to look at ourselves with honesty and compassion. Sometimes this process can be challenging; at other times, it may bring unexpected clarity or a fresh perspective.
The plants do not walk the path for us. They invite us to listen, learn and take responsibility for the changes we wish to make. With time, care and integration, their teachings can become part of how we meet ourselves and the world around us, helping us move forward with greater awareness and a deeper sense of connection.
