Mindfulness training
Being present in the now with kindness and care, non-judgementally, to be able to live life with healthy energy and balance.
Give yourself 8 weeks to ground yourself in your own life
Some days may be filled with difficult moments or stressful experiences. You may go through the day on autopilot. You feel restless, anxious or brooding. Are always tired and don't experience much joy.
But what if you could practice how to break this cycle and how to deal with the stressful events that are sometimes part of life?
Now is a great time to get started with this.
After the 8-week training (MBSR), you will have practical tools to:
- Experience more balance with peace, focus, and resilience in your daily life
- Live more consciously with gentle awareness, clear boundaries, and conscious choices
- Better cope with challenges; from stress and (automatic worrying) thoughts to physical or psychological complaints
- Increase your energy and enjoyment with more self-confidence and a deep sense of well-being
“We see each moment as a new beginning, a new opportunity to start over, to tune in, to reconnect.”

The mindfulness training
Grouptraining
The mindfulness training (MBSR) takes place in 8 weekly group meetings of 2.5 hours and a silent day(or part of a day). You can register for these further down this page.
This includes:
- An introductory conversation
- The training consisting of 8 sessions of 2.5 hours

Individual
Sometimes you prefer to take a mindfulness course individually or there are circumstances that make individual work more appropriate. We can go deeper into your personal themes during the meetings (8x an hour). An additional advantage is that we can plan the training to fit your schedule. It can also be combined with or connected to a coaching program.

Working with Nathalie

"Calm, self-care, nature and creativity are important parts of the work I do. Mindfulness is a beautiful part of this. This scientifically proven method offers a solid way to be more mindful in life with a gentle, non-judgmental outlook and acceptance. By practicing this, learning about recognizing fixed patterns and the effect of stress while also training attention and focus, you can make this way of life your own."
Very down to earth and practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my health insurance covers this mindfulness training (for a part) or my work?
Member of the VMBN and reimbursement from insurance
Nathalie is a certified Mindfulness Trainer (category 1), registered with the VMBN under registration number 20261907 and registered as an advanced trainer with the SMR quality register. This means that, depending on your health insurer and your supplementary insurance, it may be possible to claim (part of) the training costs.
It is always a good idea to check with your insurance company first,because reimbursements for mindfulness training vary per health insurance provider and supplementary package. It also sometimes depends on the reason you are taking mindfulness training.
Nathalie is also qualified to provide mindfulness training as a behavioral scientist (Dutch: Gedragswetenschapper). She is a member of the Dutch professional association NVO.
Coverage from work
Some employers pay (part of) a mindfulness training from a training budget or budget for sustainable employability, prevention of sick leave or well-being at work. It is worthwhile to inquire about this.
Where and when will the workshop take place?
Individual registrations for the group trainings can be done through the registration button of the available training date. There you can also read where the workshop will take place.
For individual trainings and for collaborations with companies, this will be decided by mutual agreement.
What is the investment?
If you register for a group training you pay the price that is stated with the training.
Companies receive a customized quote.
For whom is this not suitable?
Is it a spiritual training or does it have a faith component?
This mindfulness training is faith-free and practical / down to earth. I use the Western mindfulness program, which is scientifically based and researched for effectiveness. All (meditation) exercises are therefore faith-free and focused on practicing practical skills, which can be applied in daily life.
What do you mean by homework/daily practice?
The home exercises are an important part of the training. Every day (about 6 times a week during the training) you set aside about 30 to 45 minutes for yourself to pause, slow down and practice paying attention.
It doesn't have to be perfect, and it can be done your way.
Think of it as a mental fitness workout. Just as you keep your body healthy through regular exercise, your mind also requires regular attention and practice.
