I decided to meet Dorien this last month for a personal breathing session. I met her in a group few months ago where she show us already how to breath, even if it was not the main activity, It was already great and I felt very good and safe to have Dorien next to me. Her strong, grounded and peaceful energy really helped me to go a lot further in my process. 
This last month, I did one session with her and it was very POWERFUL! I had a lot of very old emotions to release and Dorien was perfect in her role. I really could feel all my body releasing from old tensions I even forgot it was there because it is already there for years and years. Even my boyfriend I met few hours after told me that my body was different, so much more relax. I really believe the person to do the breathing work is one of the key for a deep healing. I'm so grateful I met this wonderful soul on my way. 

I'm living in Brussels, so unfortunately, I cannot go to her to make more regular work. I tried to find someone to try with in Brussels and it was absolutely not the same. If you have the luck to live nearby, go for it ! It's really worth it.

We invited Dorien to come do work at our biweekly men’s circle. It was deep, transformational and a lot of fun. We were able to get the most out of the session because of Dorien’s ability to apply soft touch and also to give us the extra push where needed, to sink deeper into ourselves and our bodies. She does beautiful work, professional and with care. I would highly recommend her, for breathwork and guidance of healing sessions. Recently she came to guide both my parents through a breath session.

Directe adem sessie 1op1 of in specifieke aandacht in een groep, Dorien is zo ‘dedicated’ en ‘experienced’ ze voelt en ziet precies waar je zit, wat je nodig hebt, hoe je verder kan, waar je liever of juist harder voor jezelf mag zijn. Ze weet precies waar ze even een extra ‘touch’ kan geven om jezelf nog eerlijker te ‘triggeren’. Adem en flop, en adem en flop, dat ademen dat kan ik nu na meerdere sessies ook zelf gefocused in een echt moment met mezelf. Maar met Dorien ga ik verder, dieper. Ik voel me veilig, gezien en ondersteund. Mijn focus laat zelfs het laatste beetje controle los, ja en dan ga ik echt. DANK DORIEN, je bent voor mij een belangrijke aanwinst in het spectrum van healers! Female strong, no bullshit, sincere, in depth.

​

Soraya and Dorien are power women and such a dreamteam. The women's circles they facilitate are the most magical and mystical circles I've experienced. They create an evening full of depth and sisterhood through a variation of meditation, sharing, movement and breathwork. In their safe space, guided by their conscious and loving presence and beautiful soul-touching music they invite you to make a journey inwards and to connect with the collective feminine. each circle I leave the space relaxed, fulfilled and empowered. Always looking forward to the next one!

Amazing event with great hosts Tom and Dorien, who  looked after me like dear friends, showing so much love, Thank you.

I had never done any breathwork before so it was all very new to me. I can honestly say I felt a big shift as a person. Leaving the experience calmer and more centred to deal with my crazy busy life. On top of breathwork we had one of the best new year celebrations I have ever had - true connections with new experiences.

I would recommend this work for anyone who lives a stressful busy life, it's a must. Of course having the retreat in a beautiful spot on Ibiza does help too.

I attended one of Dorien's breathing group sessions in Amsterdam by sheer chance, having some extra time prior to my flight to London. This has lead to a beautiful and heart-opening experience, beyond what I would have expected. Surrounded by a group of brave women deeply experiencing their emotional layers - I have come to some of my own realizations and experiences. In the safe space created by Dorien, I was able to reconnect to my own buried feelings and release some heaviness I've been carrying around for a long time. This has served as a powerful transformative experience for me, leading to a deeper understanding of myself and others. Thank you for the work you are doing!

​

​

I never experienced a transformational breath session before, so I didn’t know what was going to happen exactly. Dorien guided me beautifully through our session. I felt safe, I felt helt, I felt supported in feeling everything that came up and I felt guided in releasing all that my body wished to release there and then. I wish to continue to take sessions at Dorien, and release more and go deeper. She feels safe and emits so much love.

​

​

I came home yesterday from a special retreat with Tom and Dorien. Wauw what a life changing week. A full on week with feeling all that wants to be felt and to breathe with it. What a space and strength do I feel now. More than ever I feel connected to my heart, and I feel the strength to keep on cherishing this. To be in love with myself. 

​

​

A breath session with Dorien is always a full journey. With only little words she is able to understand what my body and my spirit need. When I am in Dorien’s hands I feel so safe that my body already opens before we even start to work. Every time we breathe she lovingly pushes me over again another boundary. Anger, sadness, fear or total madness, we have gone through quite some extremes and we always end up in total bliss. Dorien is capable of bringing breath, light and love to things that are hiding sometimes for a hundred years. Dorien has helped me to surrender and made me flourish in ways that I cannot put into words. She is an incredible woman and I would highly recommend her and her breathwork to anyone.

​

​

I have had a number of sessions with Dorien and I am impressed and comforted by her natural way of guiding me through the more difficult parts of trauma recovery. Her sessions are very valuable to me in dealing with a hard subject. Very much recommend, including for those having difficulty "getting out of their heads".

​

​

The breathwork sessions with Dorien, whether group sessions or privates, have been liberating experiences!

​

Without shame and welcoming everyone and everything, she’ll take her time for every one of us to share our stories. To figure out where we’re at, and where we’re going for this shared moment together.

​

I feel heard.

 

And I can learn from other people’s stories… to witness I am not alone in whatever I experience; there are always other participants with the same struggles, doubts and fears.

 

Her group sessions make me connect to people quickly! A surprise, knowing that my default and traumatized setting is to disconnect first. To isolate myself in order to protect myself and to hopefully keep me safe… eventhough as an adult, the effects are opposite to this. In Dorien's group sessions and privates, I feel I can open up; I am safe here with myself. I am allowed to open my heart and throat to share.

 

I will be safe here.

 

And if I doubt, or if my inner childs are starting to scream, Dorien is quick to acknowledge this. With her loving and caring voice – the voice of nourishment – she puts my inner childs at ease. Like little children they seek shelter under the warm blanket of her voice and presence.

 

She guides us through the sessions, takes us by the hand when we need it, and lets us be when we can be. The fact I can sense she is with us, her being making contact with me, is all I needed to open up and explore my feelings.

 

It is painful at times, it is scary at times, it is heavy at times… but it is equally liberating, freeing and opening.

 

I have learned to breathe. I have learned to express. I have learned to let go. I have learned to relax. To be with my pain, with my trauma, with my emotions and feelings… I can practice to accept all of it, and be with it as a calm, loving and playful observer. Sometimes I fight it, but I always remember I can be at peace with it too.

 

It is all okay.

 

I am light.

​

​

What I take with me from this retreat is the fact that I have more consciousness at moments that I come into a state of fear, and through this clarity and the tools that I got - to make another choice in how to deal with it. To dare to feel and be OK with it. It is so nice to end the year with this awareness, to let things behind and to step into the new year full of trust and inspiration. I enjoyed your realness, sobriety, humour and loving presence.

​

The cacao and breath ceremony with Soraya and Dorien was beautiful. It was my first time to do such a ceremony and I felt so much space to feel my emotions, let my body be free, let my thoughts be free, let my mind be free. I never experienced this before. To feel everything, accept everything and love everything, even the most difficult emotions. It was a healing experience. They provided such a safe space that I felt like everything was ok, even when you feel very sad, afraid, or angry. Also the group was very heartwarming and we shared stories and thoughts. I got to know a new part of myself. Thank you!
