OUR SERVICES
Child and Adult Growth and Development
My approach is holistic, focused on the body and active listening. I work with gentleness, clarity, and commitment at every stage of development.
Psychomotricity, sleep, and parenting: a comprehensive support to move forward together.
As a psychomotor therapist, I support children and adults in developing their motor skills, enhancing sensory processing, improving emotions regulation, and boosting self-esteem. Through comprehensive assessments and tailored psychomotricity sessions, I help identify strengths and challenges to provide effective therapy.
As a certified sleep consultant specializing in babies and children, I provide expert sleep support for infants, toddlers, and their parents. Using a gentle, holistic approach rooted in attachment theory and psychomotor development, I help families overcome sleep challenges and restore peaceful, restful nights.
In parental guidance sessions, I support parents in understanding their child’s unique needs and behaviors, offering practical strategies tailored to neurodiverse children. My approach helps foster calmer, more harmonious parent-child relationships and promotes emotional well-being within the family.

Parenting, Sleep and Development
Sleep consulting-1001 sleeps
Baby sleep is a gradual, emotional process—not a performance or fixed timeline.
The 1001 Dodos® approach emphasizes gentle support, emotional security, and respect for each child’s rhythm.
Harsh sleep training is avoided in favor of calm routines, co-regulation, and presence.
Practical tools like sleep diaries and bedtime rituals help both babies and parents.
With compassion and guidance, even sleepless nights can feel more manageable.
Psychomotricity and ADHD: What Approaches Help Children?
ADHD affects about 5% of the population, often disrupting attention, behavior, and motor control.
Guidance and psychomotricity help patient develop better self-regulation and body awareness.
Psychomotor therapy uses movement and sensory play to support emotional and motor skills.
The Barkley Method provides structure through routines, rewards, and clear communication.
Together, they offer a comprehensive approach to support children with ADHD.
A psychomotor approach to the uniqueness of the Parents-Child Connection
Psychomotor parental guidance offers a body-centered, sensitive approach to parenting.
It focuses on the non-verbal, sensory, and emotional exchanges between parent and child.
Rather than correcting, it supports parents in observing, adjusting, and reconnecting.
This guidance creates a safe, judgment-free space to reflect and feel empowered.
By strengthening the parent-child bond, it fosters growth, trust, and emotional security.
Free movement
Free movement for a baby means allowing them to explore their physical abilities naturally, at their own pace, without being restricted by devices like bouncers or walkers. This approach, rooted in philosophies like the Pikler approach, encourages independence and supports cognitive, motor, and sensory development by giving babies safe spaces to move, roll, crawl, and explore their environment on their own.
They trust me
In Amsterdam and beyond, institutions, daycares, schools, companies, and families trust me to provide compassionate support in psychomotricity, sleep consulting, and tailored workshops. These partnerships reflect a strong commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration and a human-centered approach that respects each individual’s unique journey.



Support for professionals, school and institutions
I also offer custom workshops for professionals, schools and daycare centers, designed by a certified psychomotor therapist. These sessions focus on child development, motor skills, emotional regulation, and sensory integration, and are tailored to the needs of educational teams and early childhood professionals. You can choose between online or in-office workshop, ensuring flexible and accessible support—wherever you are.
