Mrs Tessa Curti-Nagtegaal

Specialist Wellness Counselor

“I work with individuals and groups in the areas of grounding, relaxation, breaking through conditioning & mind patterns, changing relationship dynamics, recognizing, embracing & expressing emotions, inner child reconnection and childhood trauma healing.”

About Me

I offer a warm, supportive space for individuals and groups. We can gently release old conditioning and mind patterns. We will explore effective grounding and relaxation techniques, helping you find calm amidst life's challenges. I guide clients to recognise and embrace their emotions. This includes inner child reconnection and healing from childhood trauma. This approach supports those ready to transform relationship dynamics and express their authentic selves.

Approach

From grounding work to gently unhooking habitual mind patterns, sessions move at a calm, steady pace that honours your tempo and capacity. In Amsterdam or online, in Dutch or English, I blend short embodied exercises, mindful reflection and guided imagery so you leave with clear, manageable practices between meetings. We attend to bodily signals and relationship habits alongside emotional exploration, checking in together about what feels safe and useful. This way of working often suits adults ready for steady, practical change.
