Happy Clients About Me
testimonials
Before we started our sessions I had anger issues and also self doubt, anxiety and shame held me back from promoting my business and to speak in front of a group of people. Even though I had help with various coaches and therapists, a part of the shifts I’m noticing happened because of the support from Carolien. I’m now able to be around family members while maintaining inner peace, and promoting my business and speaking in front of a group of people with more confidence.
Not only have I experienced positive shifts in my relationships and self-perception, but I've also witnessed tangible improvements, such as changes in my menstrual cycle and overall well-being.
Today, I can confidently walk on the streets without fear, screaming, or having panic attacks when I see a dog. I even approached an emotional dog in my chiropractor clinic—a far-fetched dream that became a reality.
Today you really got all myself back. You helped me dig deeper to understand all my childhood traumas which were the real issue, to keep me stuck in the past. Just wanted to say that I noticed a real difference in my relationship with my parents and myself. I'm sure that a definite shift / transformation has occurred in me. I was so impressed with our sessions and the work you do.
Every session, we reached a different level of understanding.
Today I am experiencing my real independence which I was seeking.
I started working with Carolien in June 2019 and continue to work with her. While working through my anxiety and depression, my sessions with Carolien provided me with a judgement free environment.
Our sessions weren’t in pursuit of an ideal response or behaviour, rather Carolien helped me divert my energy towards re-living traumatic events of the past and processing them with her gentle guidance and tapping. This helped me to come face to face with the root of causes of my anxiety.
Her non-confrontational approach towards our sessions were greatly helpful and comforting. I’m also grateful to her for helping me really understand the science behind it all - a reactive amygdala response vs a well thought out response by the pre frontal cortex, this has helped me work on my interpersonal relationships with greater understanding, something I particularly struggled with.
From the very first session with Carolien, I could see how unprocessed emotions were navigating my life and how EFT tapping was an incredibly useful and direct tool to understand and release them. As we go through life, at times we have experiences which we don’t know how to deal with, emotions that we have not even named and yet carry them within for years. And unknowingly they become the guiding force of our lives. Dealing with such emotions can be murky, confusing and overwhelming. And it’s incredible how Carolien helped me figure out things at my own pace with immense compassion and inputs which lead to a lot of simple yet powerful insights.
I also underwent a very difficult phase of anxiety. And I don’t know how I would have navigated through it without Carolien’s help. EFT and NLP techniques that we used were very useful for me to understand and deal with the reasons of this anxiety.
Ultimately, I made a lot of progress in self-awareness and acceptance during this most terrifying experience. Carolien was a constant support and guide even beyond our sessions. Since then I have been making meaningful changes in all aspects of my life - from relationships and my work to everyday lifestyle choices.
I wanted to tackle my absolute phobia towards lizards. I have had that all my life of 42 years.
My experience :
Carolien explained the technique to me, briefly, but effectively. That itself appealed a lot to me, because as a person, I believe in addressing a problem at its roots.
In the two sessions, for the first time ever, I released each unpleasant memory of lizards. The catharsis even made me wander into other related, even if vaguely, uncomfortable memories. At the cost of sounding eeky, it was like pressing out a large, puss filled boil, right to the last bit. That emotional release really de-burdens. I highly, highly recommend this, for anyone who has had a long standing animal phobia, or a fear of any sort, anger or insecurity.
After the release, I could logically arrange my disgust and fear of lizards in my thinking. Like - okay so I don't like the shape and its crawly movement. But it is a living being, just like scores of others, including me. There is no pressure on me to start loving them, but it would help ME to accept their existence.
If i see a wall lizard now, i don't go ballistic. Moreover, I don't have a fear or discomfort lurking in my head that a lizard could strike me anytime by appearing...
