FEELING STRONG IN VULNERABILITY

Isabelle's clients have called her style motherly, loving, tender, sensual, safe, caring and nurturing. And that is essentially what she tries to provide during her sessions. A safe space for them to be vulnerable, face their shadows, and rebirth.

Is this for me?

From parental traumas, to ADHD, to being a people pleaser, to having a responsible job, to wanting to lean into a authentic energy, to droping into your body and heart, … the reasons why you seek being liberated is unique to you and is worth being explored.

How Does It Work?

Isabelle provides 15-20 min to receive her client, very little is talked before the session. You get some time to acclimate, go to the toilet, drink some water and undress only to what you feel comfortable with. She recommends top and/or brief/ boxer.

Everyone gets down on the mats, she asks about your mobility and injuries. She has her way of making the client very comfortable from the beginning, so actually starting the rope session happens very shortly. (Sessions are filmed for your personal memoir, and with consent used for social media)

how long is the session itself?

40 min. Isabelle’s approach is very sensual and soft. She asks for an intention that you want to bring forth and focuses her energy on facilitating that intention. She uses skin contact, strokes, hugs and kisses as a from of safeness. No sexual stimulation or mouth kissing is pursued in these type of sessions.

The aftercare is about 20 min. After undergoing a hypnotising and calming experience your parasympathetic nervous system is so relaxed that you actually feel a bit weak and soft and need time to “come back”. That period of after-care Isabelle stays the whole time with you, caressing and hugging you. Now there is also room to share what you felt, were triggered by and talk about yourself.
