Listening to the body as a way to deepen our emotional understanding.
My name is Wendy van Telgen (born in 1973), and I have been practicing body-oriented therapy for over 20 years.
In 2001, I embarked on a year-long journey—an adventure, but above all, a voyage of self-discovery through different cultures. In Nepal, I met a Shiatsu teacher who inspired me to pursue my passion for body-oriented therapy.
Since then, I have worked from a foundation of knowledge and training, but above all from my intuition. In doing so, I listen with my hands and feel with my heart. Body-oriented therapy has given me a deeper understanding of myself and has set in motion a profound journey of personal growth.
