Eye catchers....expanding your sight, your senses

Mrs. Barefoot's guides

By tuning in in the moment and your needs, we determine which techniques and guides we will be using. Guiding tools which are always present in the trails are: embodiment travels, holistic & energetic massage, breath & stress release, intuitive systemic work and co-active coaching.

You want to know what these are.....? Read on

Breath and stress release: breath, the nutrient we can do the shortest without. Breathing, something we do all the time but are so little aware of. Breathing exercises teach you to develop this awareness. And in addition, you learn to see your breath as a powerful tool that helps you with (old) discomfort in yourself or in contact with others, in stress management and in living your own true rhythm.


Embodiment โ€“ body travels: awareness that you do not have a body, but that you are your body (more than). Based on various body journeys, we investigate together the interaction between you the body, your environment and your nervous system. And (re)discover โ€˜lostโ€™ parts in your body (again): senses and paths to feel, act and know. To consciously step your feet smoother and firmer and walk your own unique path.


Energetic treatment: coaching form of massaging and reiki, aimed at illuminating, discharging and charging pressure points, muscles and energy. The approach is holistic and inquisitive. This means that the goal is not (only) to temporarily relieve complaints, but also to learn how your body works and how you can take care of yourself and build trust and skill in it.


Intuitive systemic work: address what is 'going on' in your current situation. You in relation to "others" in the now. These can be people, events and issues. Often events from the (sometimes further) past cause the intensity of your reaction, your feelings and your emotion. Facing these patterns and old stories, creates more balance and confidence to be with discomfort or anything life throws at you. This allows you to focus your energy better on what is really important to you.


Co-active coaching: a coaching form based on the belief that you are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. We involve the intelligence of your body, head,

heart and spirit, and welcome the dark and light, feminine and masculine, yin and yang. We will also work with parts (voice dialogue), positive psychology and quantum physics.


Our body keeps the score


The Dutch translation of The Body keeps the score from Bessel van der Kolk's book is (literally translated) 'Trauma traces'. Also making clear what it is about. Yet...

Read on...

The word trauma sometimes deters, due to association with major disruptive events in life.

While other more daily but overwhelming events and feelings also find a place in your body.

Almost unnoticed.

Many simply and unfortunately no longer used to picking up the signals.


In our society where ever increasing hard goals are still leading in the (over)large part of the companies, the heads of all the people who work there are triggered the most.

By far. Forward.

And with that, we miss the signals of our body (and heart). Who not only indicates trauma but is also the most honest guide for a life full of success and happiness.

Developing a healthy body+consciousness contributes to more ease, conscious presence and truly inspired actions by everyone.

Barefoot sensuality

I had a wonderful podcast conversation with Migena Gjerazi MBA, CPCC, PCC and Samantha Allen PCC, CPCC. About Barefoot sensuality.


Being fully alive. Senses activated. Aware of inner and outer world. Connected to your own rhythm and roots. Walking your original path. With compassion and playfulness. Courageously exploring, owning and unfolding what life has in store.

We shave over it. Going too fast to hear. Forward facing.

Migena's sharing...... This week
Samantha Allen PCC, CPCC and I have a liberating and inspiring conversation with Embodiment Guide, Catalyst and People and Culture Developer, Frouke Maas.

In this episode Frouke shares her journey to coming home to her entire being and to becoming Mrs Barefoot and what opened up her heart along the way.


As a free spirit and world traveller, Frouke loves to discover, dive deep and play. The richness of her experiences and achievements show how versatile and resourceful she is. She is a warm, welcoming and fun person to be with and with whom to explore whatever life has in store. She offers trails to clients wishing to reconnect to their original rhythm and roots, guiding people to live full-on instead of head-on.

Coming home to yourself

You are (much!) more than the giant headspace our society triggers all the time. Nowadays in a matter of hours our head is stuffed with heaps of information that our grant parents digested in a year. Taking away so much space, attention and energy from our creative power and inner compass.

The most intelligent part of us resides not in our head, but in our body.

How to manage this consciously?

You can choose. To pauze. To reflect. To reconnect.

Time to own it. Take time to slow down, breath and reconnect. Allow yourself to reduce stress, explore, (re)discover, and come home to yourself. To your entire being, the feminine & masculine and the intelligence of mind, body, heart, and soul. From there you can move with
๐’Ž๐’๐’“๐’† ๐’†๐’‚๐’”๐’†, ๐’„๐’๐’๐’”๐’„๐’Š๐’๐’–๐’” ๐’‘๐’“๐’†๐’”๐’†๐’๐’„๐’†, ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’Š๐’๐’”๐’‘๐’Š๐’“๐’†๐’… ๐’‚๐’„๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’. Beneficial for you, your team & family, and your organisation & community.

Let go of the wanting to understand and emerge yourself in homecoming travels. Experience beyond words.

Lost art of true relaxation

"You don't know what you missed until it's back." Huh, it sounds like a wrongly quoted lyric of a famous Dutch band. But no, it's our own motto, and what a trajectory with Mrs. Barefoot helps you experience.

Read more...

Truly relax, feel and thrive in your body. It helps you move with more ease, more conscious presence and inspired action. Good for you, your family & team and your organization & community.


But what does Mrs. Barefoot do? She is your Embodiment Guide.

And what is that? If your head is in charge, you would like to understand this in advance. I understand, as an experienced head resident.

I guide you in your body, to feel what your head doesn't know (anymore).


But hey, it's hard to put into words an experience that goes beyond our vocabulary. And that is also different per person.

Our first language is that of movement, not words. There's your wisdom. Your knowledge grows with every embodiment journey. Your silent knowing. When you just feel it is true. Beyond what you thought possible.


The world needs you


In the end the art of living is the art of co-living, so that you individually and collectively progress. You can't truly do one without the other...

One of the most inspirational gatherings I had in the first month of 2021: the 'Get it done - de kracht van geven' seminar, organized by @Hannaverboom, with passionate speakers sharing their flame to do good, and the impact they have. In Dutch + one in English with Ugandan bishop, a great narrator. The seminar concludes with an invitation to join the movement and connect with support 'seekers' and 'givers'.


Definitely worth to watch! Will you get inspired and let your heart be touched (and awakened, you can do this too!;-))? Also now, when it is so easy to be caught up and pre-occupied by all rough things happening to you and on your doorstep. There is a wider world... A world that needs you... Give... Whether it is money, time, attention, advise...


It inspired me to expand the support I give in Uganda to remote entrepreneurs and widow groups, into Mrs. Barefoot's business proposition. No step will she make without others benefiting too: Sharing profit with people in need and bartering for fruitful exchanges.


In the end the art of living is the art of co-living, so that you individually and collectively progress. You can't truly do one without the other.

I am stepping into 2021 as Mrs. Barefoot. Helping you to slow down, recharge, and reconnect to your origin. The need is so apparent. Rush, rushโ€ฆ to the old normalโ€ฆ or the newโ€ฆ What about your โ€˜normalโ€™? Your path? Your rhythm? Your truth?

Mrs. Barefoot literally walked into my life when I changed my morning routine in spring 2020. Rising early and catching the sunrise of the day. With massive positive impact on my health, life and corporate work. And bringing back rich memories of working and living in East Africa: heart-based, ancient wisdom, off the beaten track.

Time to integrate all wisdom and experience, together with my #coactivecoaching, #constellationwork, and #stressreleaseservice. To support our collective well-being, and yours. Helping you to show up the way you want to, and to be seen and valued for who you truly are.

The world needs your original talent and energy!


How will you walk into your future?
