At the heart of Inner Growth Therapy lies a profound emphasis on body and mind integration, inviting you on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and holistic wellness.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
Personal Growth & Healing
The unique approach to Inner Growth Therapy is a fusion of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with mindfulness, and somatic techniques, designed to guide you towards self-discovery, healing and genuine expression. As a strengths-based therapist, I aim to empower you by highlighting your qualities and abilities that facilitate the positive change you seek. With gentle encouragement and unwavering support, I invite you to uncover your narratives, respect your inner wisdom, and foster deep self-acceptance.
Recognising the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, I create a nurturing and inclusive environment where you can delve into your emotional and physical landscapes, peeling back layers of self-awareness and self-love. Instead of focusing on deficiencies or problems, I emphasise your inherent strengths and assets that aid in your recovery and build resilience. I facilitate holistic integration that harmonises the self within by exploring your 'inner family' of emotions, feelings, and thoughts.
Relational Growth & Healing
Navigating life's ups and downs while maintaining a strong and thriving relationship can be a challenge. Couples Growth Therapy is dedicated to enhancing communication and intimacy within your relationship to build a healthier and more profound emotional bond.
Specialising in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), our approach is ideal for those seeking a meaningful and authentic connection and are eager to elevate their relationship to new heights.
Couples Growth Therapy is tailored to guide you through a blend of insightful talk therapy and engaging somatic exercises, fostering a more harmonious and fulfilling partnership that promotes personal growth and strengthens your bond.
Somatic Growth & Healing
Somatic Movement & Healing works with the concept that everything that plays out within you also plays out in the world around you, and everything you meet on the outside is also within. In other words: Your behaviour and actions are a reflection of your inner world.
Somatic movement is an exploration of the internal experience of movement, rather than the external outcome. Connecting to conscious movement, you’ll engage your nervous system in a deep learning process. You’ll learn to listen to your body's feedback and identify areas of tension or restriction.
This heightened body awareness allows you to tap into the wisdom of your body, rewiring neuro pathways, creating space for new expression, and unproved inner connection. Welcoming everything that comes up in sessions so that, with guidance, we can move through emotions, tension and trauma we keep stored in our body.
Anneriek’s Journey
Using personal transformation to inspire others
Embarking on a journey of self-discovery from the Netherlands to Australia, I transitioned from a career in IT Management to a soulful path of yoga and holistic practices. Through life's ups and downs, including marriage, motherhood, and personal losses, I embraced each experience as a catalyst for growth. Transitioning from a successful business owner to an inner growth coach, I integrated diverse healing modalities and embodied wisdom, culminating in a unique approach to transformative healing rooted in personal evolution.
As a Somatic and Dance Movement Therapist, Inner Growth Coach, Relational Life Therapist and Senior Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness Teacher, my journey is centred around guiding individuals towards self-discovery, healing, and growth. However, beyond these professional titles, I am first and foremost a passionate woman, loving wife, devoted mother, and eternal seeker of the beauty that life offers.
The intricate workings of the human mind never fail to captivate me, and the profound wisdom held within the human body continues to inspire me. My dedication to holistic well-being and personal transformation is deeply rooted in my own life experiences and ongoing journey of self-exploration.
Experience of Others
The inspiration to keep ploughing through my journey was to have the same enjoyment in my daily life as Anneriek has and her reassurance I was going to get through it and be great at the other end. She was right.
