Hello hello! I’m Carrie, a certified 500hr advanced yin/vinyasa yoga teacher, embodiment facilitator and somatic consciousness coach based in Amsterdam.

I’ve dedicated a big chunk of my life to self-exploration & I am committed to the courageous and sometimes gruelling path of facing the tough stuff with the aim of becoming a ‘better’ person. This has led me down many roads including yoga & meditation, coaching, somatics, embodiment, trauma work and bodywork.

movement & stillness

Yoga, meditation & somatic/embodiment work have been a game changer for me. I’ve become more clued in to what’s happening in my internal world and learnt how to meet & respond to myself in a respectful and compassionate way. Knowing when things need to be physically moved through and when I need to become still to allow the movement to happen. Often it’s not the ‘thing’ that messes with us, it’s our resistance or narrative around it that does.

My embodiment practices not only keep me anchored when things get icky, they open me to a buoyancy and aliveness I never thought possible. I see life with new eyes thanks to this stuff and now I love love love guiding, sharing and supporting other people in these practices.

There is gold to be found by accessing the stillness within our movement (moving consciously) and paradoxically so much is able to move, only when we become still. There is vitality and freedom to be found in the act of moving consciously, slowing down, becoming still and feeling what’s there to be felt. It’s only through feeling, acknowledging and accepting that we can create change in a conscious way.

And FYI, I’m also good if people just want to chill out a bit and/or get more bendy, every little helps!
