Do you also feel that it is time to do things differently?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Nine out of ten women I speak to say they are looking for more balance. But what they truly long for is to feel themselves again.

No one loses touch with themselves overnight. It happens very gradually: in every moment when you say \u201cyes\u201d while feeling \u201cno\u201d, and every time you keep going even though you really need rest.

Until your body begins to send signals. A tense body. A mind that will not stop. Moments when you feel completely exhausted and empty.

Sometimes this also shows up as women’s health concerns. Hormonal imbalance, heavy periods, menopausal symptoms, pain and tension in the pelvis or intimate symptoms can be signals that your body is asking for attention.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

I support women who long<\/strong> for a deeper connection<\/strong> with themselves, their bodies and life. Women who want to feel more deeply and be more fully present in everything they do. Whether you are looking for support with women’s health concerns or prolonged stress, or simply feel that it is time to make space for yourself, I would be glad to walk alongside you for part of your journey. With more than 11 years’ experience as a therapist, I help women like you rediscover their zest for life. At my practice, I offer different forms of support, including ACT therapy, body-focused sessions and in-depth truffle ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n

What I do with you \u2014 and what it can bring you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your nervous system forms the foundation of your health and vitality. It affects your hormones, digestion, immune system, emotions and the way you respond to stress. Women’s health concerns do not exist in isolation. Your body and emotions continually influence one another.

Perhaps you recognise the pattern of always pushing on, caring for others and adapting yourself. Keeping all the plates spinning is not only stressful and exhausting; it also takes you further and further away from yourself. I help you break that cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My support is not about adding even more things you have to do. It is not about a perfect morning routine, hours on your yoga mat or talking endlessly about what went wrong. It is about a different way of living: a more feminine way of living in which you stay connected to yourself rather than constantly focusing on everything and everyone around you. You learn to listen to your body and dare to trust again in what you truly feel and long for.

Through simple exercises, I help you experience more relaxation and enjoyment in daily life. You soon begin to feel lighter, more energetic and freer. Health is not only about having fewer symptoms. It is about returning to the woman you have always been: a woman who feels, enjoys and lives fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the very first moment, I felt I could trust Lotte, and I am incredibly grateful for her warm way of coaching. Thanks to her, I feel happier, lighter and full of energy again.\u201d \u2014 Isa<\/p>\n\n\n

It is not only about what you do. It is about how present you are in the moments already here: how you drink your coffee on a busy day, how you sit behind your laptop on a Tuesday afternoon, how you play with your children, how you wake on a Sunday morning and how you kiss your partner when you come home. It is about the way you are present in the small moments of your day, because that is precisely where you find connection with yourself.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

Lotte Boekhout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In August 2021, I was sitting in my GP’s surgery when I felt everything inside me fall silent. I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus<\/a>, a condition I had to learn to live with. As a young woman, it affected my sense of womanhood deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, I can see how pivotal that moment was. When physical symptoms arrive, it can feel raw and painful, especially in an area as vulnerable as the pelvis. Yet I dared to see my symptoms as an invitation to truly listen to myself. It led me into a profound homecoming: to myself, my body, my sensuality and my sense of womanhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you will find a safe place where you are heard. With more than 11 years’ experience as a therapist, I understand what you are going through and will support you in a way that suits you.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Over the past few months, I completed a coaching programme with Lotte. Through many exercises and conversations, I learnt an enormous amount about myself and my symptoms. It is a very personal programme, but Lotte is highly knowledgeable and had a good sense of what I needed. There was also always room for me to say what felt right for me. From the very first moment, I felt I could trust her, and I am incredibly grateful to Lotte for her kind and warm way of coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other things, I was looking for more calm in my mind and a stronger connection with my body and feelings. Lotte has a great deal of knowledge and experience, and works with gentleness, love, calm and creativity. She always knew exactly what I needed. The combination of ACT and yin yoga was the perfect way for me to engage more physically alongside our conversations. I had never experienced anything like it before, and it proved very valuable to me. I also received personal exercises to work with. I have learnt so much and am grateful that I was able to do this together with Lotte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A truly transformative journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After years of personal development through coaching, meditation and yoga, I was still searching for a deeper connection with myself. I had heard a great deal about the transformative power of psychedelics, but kept wondering whether it was the right step for me. It felt daunting, but I was so curious about what the experience might offer me. Naturally, I was nervous before my first psychedelic experience, but Lotte’s non-judgemental and loving guidance gave me confidence straight away.

In her welcoming garden room, surrounded by nature, I felt safe enough to begin the journey inward. Through her calm presence, I was able to surrender fully to the process. That deep sense of safety and trust opened the way to a truly magical experience, in which I was able to experience an entirely new state of consciousness. The beautiful colours and music enhanced the journey, even as I moved through deeper layers and emotions. It felt as though my senses came alive in a completely new way.

Her careful preparation and aftercare helped me process and integrate my experiences into daily life. This first encounter with psychedelics helped me feel more connected to myself and relate to my insecurities differently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
