ART & CACAO
therapy session
Do you want to go on a journey of discovery in your own inner world?
With cacao & artistic, grounding and movement exercises we go on a journey in which it is about contact with your expression.
Drinking cacao gives a soft, body experience and helps to shift down from your head to your heart.
My background as an art therapist gives me the support to help you, my own experience of drinking cacao in everyday life and participating in cacao ceremonies has taught me a lot.
I developed and deepened my knowledge in guiding a cacao session through a Embodied Cacao Practitioner Training.
My love for art & cacao has grown over the years. I've been able to get to know cacao on a deeper level and I've been able to get to know myself on a deeper level through art & cacao.
Cacao can make you more connected to yourself, because cacao is also seen as plant medicine for the heart. It gives a slightly energetic feeling and your creative and free flow can flow more easily. In collaboration with art and cacao we discover what can be unfold for you.
What is your request for help, what are you running into in your life or how would you like to develop yourself more?
I'd love to drink the precious and delicious gift of nature, and go on a journey with you.
The sessions will last about 4-5 hours
The session can be in Dutch or English

More about cacao:
Research shows many health benefits and neurocognitive effects. Cacao is high in antioxydants, rich in minerals, it contains healthy fats and increased absorption of nutrients, it gives positive energy: it reduces stress, increases our focus and creative flow. These healthy effects of cacao are especially present in pure cacao. This is why I prefer to eat and drink it as pure as possible and buy it as little processed as possible. I order my cacao with the support for organic farming principles, agroforestry and biodiversity.
Cacao has a rich history in Mesoamerican native cultures. Traces found of its use date back to over 4000 years ago. Cacao gained a divine status in different cultures like the Olmecs, Izapan, Maya, Toltecs, Aztecs and Incas.

Mijn 1:1 sessie met Stefanie was heel waardevol. Vanaf het moment dat ik binnenkwam voelde ik een verzachting en had ik het gevoel dat ik mocht ontspannen en ontvangen. Dit maakte bij mij al wat los. Ik ging er open in, maar al snel kwamen we door de geleide meditatie bij de kern. Ik mocht werken aan mijn zelf-expressie. Stefanie heeft me hier goed in begeleid met een passend ritueel, meditaties en kunst. Het maken van kunst was wat confronterend voor mij: ik zag hoe sommige denkpatronen mijn zelf-expressie in de weg staan. Stefanie werkt intuïtief en flexibel en heeft veel tools beschikbaar, om in te kunnen spelen op wat ik nodig had in het moment. Zo hebben we bijvoorbeeld ook gedanst tussendoor. De dagen na de sessie voelde ik me erg licht en geïnspireerd. Op langere termijn ben ik meer bewust bezig gegaan met de patronen die naar voren kwamen. Ook ben ik verrassend genoeg beter geworden in het aangeven van mijn grenzen. Hier zijn we niet expliciet mee bezig geweest, maar het stukje zelf-expressie heeft hierop doorgewerkt.
Ik zou de sessie zeker aanraden. Door de fijne energie van Stefanie, de setting, en de focus op het lichaam en meditatieve staat kun je makkelijker bij je onderbewustzijn komen, wat erg speciaal en waardevol is.
