Trauma is a fact of life. It does not have to be a life sentence.

Testimonials

Pasquale Servaas: After years of talk therapy, body-oriented therapy with Wendy felt like a very natural and valuable next step. Whereas I had previously been able to understand and analyze a lot, here I truly learned to feel what is happening in my body. That has made a world of difference in how I deal with old patterns and early childhood trauma. Through working with Wendy, I feel calmer and more at home in my own body. I can experience events more fully, rather than just intellectualizing them—something that previously often came with a physical cost. It has also helped me make several important decisions truly from myself. Wendy works with great respect for boundaries, is highly skilled in her practice, and creates a safe, calm environment where you can genuinely make progress. I look back on this process with deep gratitude and can wholeheartedly recommend her.

Nicoline Douwes Isema: Wendy van Telgen seems to fully listen to your body. She is firm when she can, careful when she needs to, and her extensive training with trauma therapy makes sure that she can deal with whatever emotions come up. At Shiatis, I feel safe and understood, but most of all: she fixes me up fast and lasting. Wendy is for sure one of the best shiatsu therapists that I ever worked with. She has made my back relax after a car accident (no more pain!), she helped me through stressful times with supporting massages. But she does more than massage the body: her approach is targeted at your whole system, so emotions are welcome here. If you need some deep emotional body work, get rid of trauma stress, I would recommend calling Wendy. Now that I am nice and balanced and pain free, I regularly visit with Wendy for a ‘maintanance’ massage. Because it’s awesome.

Els Bouwman: A treatment by Wendy is a journey where I become aware of my body and emotions. Through her intuition and the use of various techniques, she knows exactly how to strike the right chord. She then uses her perseverance to get to the core and restore balance. Afterward, I feel wonderful, relaxed, and cheerful.

Marieke Zwolsman: I have no words for Wendy’s special approach. How can I describe the processes she has set in motion through a beautiful combination of haptonomy, rebalancing, and various massage techniques? I’ll try: In our conversations, there is much attention to the moment: it comes as it comes. Wendy guides you in a very respectful way on a journey through emotions, thoughts, feelings, and deeper layers of the (sub)conscious. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or misunderstood. The profound and empathetic way Wendy approached me shows respect for the individual and a genuine interest in my well-being.

Leo Buis: Shiatsu: for me, a walk through my body. An encounter of warmth, peace, silence, and certainly loving. Until now, always a new experience. Thank you, Wendy, until the next journey!

Maarten Roos: The peace and pleasure I was able to feel were pleasant and inviting. I experienced the treatments as purifying and healing, bringing my body into better balance.
