It’s me, Nina! This selfie I took for a friend - just me at the park listening to a book and walking my dog - pretty much sums it up. Put a cup of tea in my hand and done.

I have been practicing intuitive counseling since 2008, certified in cognitive hypnosis in 2012, and as a Martha Beck Wayfinder Life Coach in 2021. I have always been passionate about learning all I can about what it means to be human, and about what works to bring us back to ourselves and each other. On my way I have gathered effective tools and modalities, returning again and again to Byron Katie’s The Work, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and powerful methods of guided meditation. Everywhere I look, from ancient traditions to modern, data-driven discoveries I am reminded that our sense of disconnection, separateness, and loneliness are illusions, keeping us from our innate wholeness and connectedness with ourselves, each other, and our planet.

I am also the wife of a cute Dutch man and the mother of our three incredible sons. I love stories and ideas: reading them, writing them, hearing them, and then doing all of that in 3 other languages too (French, Spanish, and Dutch). I also love to cook (and eat!), garden, wander wide-eyed in nature, travel, and laugh, dance, and sing as much as I can. I really, really love this work, and I am so happy to be in practice here in Eugene as well as online with my clients all over the country. I look forward to meeting you!
