My story

I am Chantal Bruijsten, and I am spiritual and super practical. I love logic, but also everything that is intangible. I combine my intellect and analytical abilities with a strong intuition, and with the ability to be fully present, to deeply follow a person and their process, and to help turn that into real transformation.

My path has taken me from the corporate world, to running a hotel in the Dominican Republic, to building a practice as a therapist in the Netherlands, and eventually to creating a new life in Spain. Along the way, life brought me fertility struggles, stressful times in my relationship, burnout, deep personal healing, and also the joy of becoming a mother of three, following my intuition, and finding a way of living that feels much more like home.

Tantra has opened me to so much more in life. It helped me deepen in love, presence, pleasure, energy, and truth. I discovered how powerful it is when tantra and therapeutic work come together, and that is exactly what I now bring into my retreats. In my work, I combine therapeutic depth, intuition, embodiment, and a grounded approach, creating a space in which you can open, feel, heal, and reconnect with who you truly are.

"Spiritual and deeply intuitive. Practical and grounded. I don't follow a method. I follow you."
