"We have the ability to regulate our own physiology, including some of the so-called involuntary functions of the body and brain, trough such basic activities as breathing, moving, and touching."
- Bessel van der Kolk MD
Psychophysical Practitioner
My name is Doortje Koster
For over ten years, I’ve worked with people dealing with stress, tension, and overload, in contexts ranging from mental health care to social work and public policy.
What has always fascinated me is how stress affects the body and mind, and how people can regain control when given the right tools.
With a background in social work, I gradually shifted my focus to the physical side of well-being. This practice is the result: a place where body and mind come together, accessible, supportive, and tailored to the individual.
My style is grounded and inquisitive. I help you recognize patterns, regulate tension, and apply practical techniques that fit your situation. I work best with people who are ready to take charge again, but don’t quite know where to start.
I continue to train actively in stress regulation, body-oriented methods and biopsychosocial approaches.
My work is not therapy or medical treatment, but a professional form of guidance for those seeking insight, calm, and recovery.
