Griet Verstraete

MER Practitioner in Training

Griet is an experienced and certified Breathwork therapist (GPBA) since 2008, teaching in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Belgium (or where invited). Her training in both breathwork and dance/movement therapy formed the basis for a holistic approach in her work with clients. She is an accredited trainer in Integrative Somatic Breathwork, and a recognized facilitator of Open Floor Embodied movement and Therapy in Motion (OpenFloor.org), supervisor and mentor.

She is a dedicated professional within the field of body-oriented and somatic therapy.

Her approach is pragmatic, trauma-informed and experience-oriented.

Griet combines various methods, where learning to regulate our nervous system and strengthening one's own resources and inner autonomy are crucial.

Training in Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) adds another layer of bodywork and understanding to work with deep tissue, movement and breath.

Not only working with the physicality of the tensions, but bringing flow of energy, release of tensions and emotional balance in the nervous system.

A session can be a combination of conscious connected breathwork, Myofascial Energetic Release techniques and embodied movement.

Always embedded in a safe “enough” space, set up through the therapeutic relation and the clients individual intention.

Sessions can be held in Dutch, English, French or German.
