Marjon van Opijnen

Certified MER Practitioner

In 2006 I returned from my last mission with Medecins Sans Frontieres, for which I worked in several war zones and set up projects after natural disasters. I realised how much I lost ‘ground under my feet’ and how fragmented my life had become while living and working in hectic, stressful and sometimes threatening environments. This is the moment when I embarked for my journey of embodiment, including Reichian breathwork. It became a journey of coming home in myself and my body. Myofascial Energetic Release has touched me deeply for its deep and profound transformational power physically as well as emotionally and spritually. The combination of deep work and strokes, with breath and movement has taken me even deeper inside. I am fascinated by how the body works and the mutual influence between mind, heart and body. In addition to MER, my work is a.o. inspired by OSHO, rebirthing and inner child work, Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release, Almaas’ essence series, constellation and systemic work, somatic experience, Reichian character types, tantra, intuitive dance and movement, InterPlay, Social Presencing Theater. I am available for individual sessions for MER, BBTRS and trauma therapy.
