I work with people who sense there is more available to them than their current way of being allows. A depth already present, asking to be met and lived from.
In these sessions, we stay close to how you're actually experiencing what you're going through. How it lives in your body, your emotions, your sense of things. Not just what you think about it. Met with the right quality of attention, patterns that have long felt fixed begin to loosen. The difficulty you bring stops being something to get past. It becomes a doorway -- into a capacity, a creativity, a way of meeting life that is already there but hasn't yet had room to speak.
My role is to help you listen to that 'more'. I accompany you as you release what holds this back, and stay present as it comes into fuller expression.
This work is grounded in the Aletheia Unfoldment Method, together with my broader background in contemplative practice and embodied inquiry. It brings together psychological work with parts and patterns, somatic inquiry, and the kind of presence-based exploration usually found only in deep contemplative practice. This means we can work with unusual range and precision, from habits and emotions to existential questions and deeper dimensions of experience, without collapsing any of them.
People come to this work when facing decisions, transitions, creative blocks, questions of direction, or the sense that something important is asking for attention. Many are carrying significant responsibility — in work, family, social initiatives, creative practice — and want to meet it with more of themselves. What changes is rarely limited to the difficulty they came with. It shifts how they hold themselves, their relationships, and the situations they're trying to meet.
As more analytical and mechanical work is automated, what becomes most valuable is the capacity to clarify what matters. That capacity is relational, perceptual, and embodied: sensing what a situation actually requires, holding complexity without collapsing it, acting from something more than a model.
In the Collective Futures MSc programme at the University of Amsterdam, which I co-design and co-lead, students, researchers, and societal partners collaborate across disciplines on issues such as democratic resilience, climate adaptation, and PFAS pollution.
This is the kind of environment I work to create more broadly. I work with universities and organisations to design curricula, workshops, and research processes that bring together systems thinking, problem framing, prioritization, and embodied dialogical practices. So that people can draw on both careful analysis and lived experience to make grounded decisions in ambiguous, value-laden situations.
Sound, improvisation, and embodied listening run through my work in ways that aren't always visible on a page like this. I collaborate with two collectives working at the intersection of sound art, embodied inquiry, and artistic research, often through residencies and community-based experimentation that sometimes extend into mutual aid.
These collaborations shape and are shaped by my other areas of practice, especially where listening matters more than quick conclusions. Past work in sound art and interactive installations is documented here.
Alongside collaborative projects, I make music and practice improvisational movement as ongoing forms of inquiry and play.
