Presence from connection & compassion - with yourself, eachother and nature

Star of Light

An invitation to slow down, to feel and to truly return to yourself

Welcome
Slow down for a moment.
Breathe in…
and soften as you exhale.

This is a place to land.

To breathe.
To feel.
To be present in your body.

To gently reconnect with yourself
through softness, connection, and compassion.
To experience what is alive within you.

Let everything come to stillness here.
Listen to what your body is telling you.
Give space to what wants to be felt.
And remember —
who you are at your core.

Star of Light invites you
to come home —
into your body,
into your heart,
into your awareness.

To release tension.
To allow your life energy to flow freely.
And through embodiment,
to reconnect
with yourself
and with life.

Stories & Experiences

In their words

★★★★★

Ellen is a remarkably warm and intuitive person who knows exactly how to bring out the best version of yourself. With her, you truly come to rest and find balance between body and mind. She takes the time to help you slow down and become aware of what is happening in your body in the present moment. The gentle energy she radiates, combined with her healing touch and trauma-informed approach, helps you feel stronger and more grounded in life. I now feel much more capable of regulating my emotions, and I leave each session with a sense of ease and well-being. Highly recommended!

Whether it was coincidence or ‘serendipity’… somehow I found my way to Ellen while I was actually looking for something else. Truly special and beautiful — just like she is. By now I’ve had several sessions with her, both in her beautiful practice space and online. I’m so grateful I found her.

She is a deeply warm person, with an equally beautiful presence that immediately put me at ease. Her strong sense of empathy, her ability to truly listen and feel, the way she gives you her full attention — combined with her genuine and heartfelt laughter — and her deeply holistic approach, create an experience that exceeds all expectations.

So much unfolds as a pleasant surprise in the journey I am on with her, as I move toward healing. Small steps, small miracles have already emerged through our conversations and sessions. Allowing myself to be guided by her feels deeply familiar — like a warm bath, like being held in a loving embrace. And I’m so grateful that I no longer have to constantly think, explain, or analyze… finally, I remember that there is more.

She embodies and offers a complete approach — physical, social, psychological, spiritual, and energetic — which allowed me to feel held when I could no longer hold myself. Her extensive knowledge, talents, sensitivity, and her pure and boundless dedication, combined with her spiritual depth, make every session a truly meaningful experience that supports me exactly where it is needed.

She knows, she feels, she sees — she explores together with me, and remains open in sharing and offering honest reflections. That alone brings me so much joy, in a time when I thought I had lost the ability to feel that. Thank you so much, Ellen — and I look forward to the next time.

It is rare to find a therapist who combines such an impressive academic foundation (PhD in Neuroscience) with the deep, subtle experience of Somatic Experiencing and energetic bodywork.

I have experienced both Somatic and Sacred Sessions with Ellen, and the common thread is always the immense safety and expertise she radiates. She understands the biological processes in the brain and nervous system flawlessly, yet knows how to translate this in practice into a warm, intuitive container where truly everything is allowed to be. Whether it is trauma processing or the deep healing of a Lomi Lomi session; you feel in every way that she is an absolute expert who truly knows her craft.

For anyone looking for genuine depth, integrity, and a bridge between science and spirituality: Ellen is a rare gem in the Heerlen region, and her work is worth every single penny.

“Finding balance within yourself and in your life. Discovering your inner strength — that is my wish for you.”

This is how Ellen opens her LinkedIn profile. But how do I explain that she has long moved beyond the stage of wishing? I experience Ellen as a deeply dedicated professional who works with you in a truly unique, holistic way — without ever losing connection to the essence of who you are.

From the very beginning, I felt the combination of an experienced psychologist, an energetic holistic practitioner, and a body-oriented therapist. Ellen has shown me how these three elements come together in a kind of holistic symphony — one that I experienced with a depth and intensity unlike anything before. Especially the Lomi session had a profound impact this time. I had visited Ellen before in 2020 and already knew how skilled she is, but this time my expectations were exceeded.

Suddenly, the whole story held within the body was told, the pain released, and the wound ready to heal. Ellen’s wish has become reality — I can say that with confidence. Thank you, Ellen.
