About me
“I say yes when I mean no. I’ve tried it all and it keeps coming back. Everyone thinks I’m fine, because I function so well. Why do I feel like this? I know exactly what I should do, so why am I not doing? I don’t feel connected to my body. “
Sound familiar?
You might recognize the racing thoughts that won’t switch off. The constant tension in your body. The guilt the moment you’re not taking care of someone else. Maybe it’s the same relationship pattern again, different person, same dynamic.
You’ve done the podcasts. The books. Maybe therapy too. You can explain your patterns better than most people ever could.
And yet you keep ending up in the same place. So done with it.
Your head never really switches off. And somewhere along the way, taking responsibility for everyone else became “the normal” even when it costs you your own peace.
That’s not a discipline problem. Understanding lives in your head. The pattern lives in your body.
I’m Samantha. I work with high-achievers and expats stuck in patterns; restlessness, anxiety, relationships that keep repeating, often after they’ve already done real work elsewhere. I’m not here to replace that work. I’m here for the part it couldn’t fully reach: the body itself.
We work directly with what your body has been holding, old survival patterns still running the show. I help you break the loop, where insight alone often can’t.
This isn’t about fixing you. You were never broken. It’s about coming home to your own body, so you can finally break the pattern and find the rest, presence, and lightness you’ve been longing for.
I bring 5+ years as a therapist specializing in trauma, childhood attachments and the nervous system, plus 6+ years facilitating somatic and breathwork practices across the Netherlands and internationally. And I know this work from the inside: I’ve lived the burnout, the freeze, the years of not being able to feel my own body. This isn’t a theory to me; it’s embodied leadership. And now I am here to help you break the pattern too.
I am originally from The Netherlands, lived in Cabo Verde and Portugal. Follow me on Instagram to learn more about my work HERE.
Specialisations
You know what to do and still can’t do it
Your body reacts before your mind catches up
You say yes when you mean no
You snap at the people you love, then feel wrecked about it
You’re building a life far from home, and your body hasn’t caught up yet
You keep finding yourself in the same patterns, the same relationship dynamic, the
same panic, the same freeze.
Talking about things helps… but doesn’t fully change how you feel
Approaches:
Patterns aren’t just habits; they’re encoded in your nervous system. What shows up in your life and relationships (the overthinking, the people-pleasing, the shutdown, the same dynamic on repeat) isn’t a mindset problem. It’s a body that learned, long ago, what felt safe and is still running that program today.
I help you break the loop by working directly with your body: expanding your nervous system’s capacity without collapsing back into the old patterns. Real change does happen from the body up.
Through this work, you move toward embodied leadership: leading your life and your relationships from a place that’s strong, balanced, and rooted in choice, instead of from patterns that no longer serve you.
Modalities: Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Nervous System Regulation, Inner Child Work, Holosomatic Breathwork, ACT
Who I work with:
People who’ve already done the work in their head, the books, the therapy, the self-help and are still stuck in the same pattern. High achievers who function well on the outside and feel like they’re running on empty inside. Expats carrying the extra weight of building safety somewhere new. Anyone who’s tired of understanding themselves perfectly and still not feeling different in their bodies.
