About Carlijn

I work with people who have lost touch with their own needs, boundaries, and feelings. In particular, those who notice that the ways they have adapted, coped, or held themselves together for years no longer fit who they are today.

Through ayahuasca ceremonies and individual in-depth sessions, we explore recurring patterns and the themes you find yourself returning to. The setting offers calm and space — to move beyond what you already understand, and come closer to what you feel.

People often describe my guidance as warm, attentive, and easy to connect with. The work may reach into spiritual territory, but my approach remains grounded and down-to-earth. Depth does not need complexity. I value simplicity, honesty, and genuine human contact.

Music has a natural place in my ceremonies. I sing and play guitar, while silence is given the space it needs. There is depth, but also room for lightness and humour.

My partner Ramses regularly joins the weekends as a musician and co-facilitator.

At the heart of my work is learning to know and trust yourself — so that the choices you make reflect who you are, rather than who you believe you should be.

I live with my partner Ramses in Maarssen. I like life fairly simple: oatmeal in the morning, a swim outdoors, singing, dancing, and days spent messing around with projects at home.
