What inspires me most in this work is seeing people reconnect with what truly matters. When someone gains clarity about who they are, what they value, and finds the confidence to live in alignment with that — this work has meaning. I hope people return to daily life with more self-acceptance, more presence, and the ability to respond rather than react. With more relaxation, openness, and flow in the small moments of everyday life, and with warmer, more nourishing relationships.
My own path reflects this same journey. As a neurodivergent person, diagnosed with autism and ADHD at midlife, I know what it means to feel rigid in mind and body, and out of sync in social spaces. This shaped my search for tools that truly help — not only to cope, but to grow.
To find my answers I immersed myself in Eastern teachings, tantric practices, and sacred plant medicine, while also approaching them through the lens of science and curiosity: how do these tools work in the nervous system, how do they support trauma integration and real change? How do these tools work? How do they help us rewire our nervous systems, integrate trauma, and support authentic, lasting transformation?
What I offer today is a synthesis of this path. Breathwork, tantra, and plant medicine as ways to soften rigid patterns, access deep emotions, and open to life with more trust and ease — in spaces where people feel safe to explore and reconnect with themselves and others.

I recently did a 3-night retreat here and it was one of the most intense I have ever done. At other retreat centres, they often keep you busy in the morning and evening only, but at this one, they did tantra and other meditation, breathwork and somatic exercises all day long. The exercises were sometimes a little bit confronting but consent was always asked for and you were able to pull out of any exercise you wanted to without judgment.Imke and Ioana and the two other facilitators put a lot of effort into every single exercise and were very present with all of us.The location on farm property in the countryside was a much welcome escape. For those who need access, the WiFi was perfect, the facilities had everything you need and the food was very good. On the final night, the truffle ceremony was one of the most intense experiences of my life and the team prepared us very well and helped me through it from start to finish.It has been a life-changing experience and my brain feels like it has harmonized in a way that I have not felt since I was very young. My daily routines since coming back from the retreat have also changed and I am trying to engage with the world, myself and my healing much more consciously. If you are concerned at all about safety while having a truffle experience, I would highly recommend this team as they were very committed, hard-working and extremely present.

The dancing worked wonderfully as an “icebreaker,” and the breathwork session, supported by the microdose, truly brought me into relaxation and surrender. As a result, I was able to look at my year from my higher self. Wonderful!

Het bracht me diep in een staat van zijn die zowel mijn moodbord, maar ook wat en hoe ik wil leven sterk heeft beinvloed. Of het nou de truffels waren, de stand van de planeten, de warme, stevige begeleiding, de mooie dynamische rituelen en activiteiten of de veilige warme setting ga ik nooit weten, maar gaan was iig een van de betere beslissingen die ik zo aan het begin van het jaar gemaakt hebt. Veel dank Ioana! Ik gun veel mensen jouw magie in de toekomst te mogen ervaren. Met liefde, Kristel

Her communication was clear, warm, and never pushy, allowing me to find my own way throughout the process. The emails and check-ins helped me become more aware of my patterns and integrate new insights into my daily life. I felt fully supported and trusted throughout the entire journey and would highly recommend working with Ioana.”
