Sanne is a multi-faceted medicine woman—a writer, artist, transpersonal therapist, and ceremonialist—whose journey traverses realms of healing, creativity, and spiritual exploration. 

Ceremony is an offering closest to her heart. Drawing from a rich tapestry of therapeutic modalities and shamanic wisdom—she guides seekers on an odyssey from the confines of the mind to the expansiveness of the heart. Through storytelling, sound healing, medicine music, and creative expression, she weaves a transformative journey that transcends the ordinary and touches the soul.

From the sea and forest of the Netherlands to the vibrant rhythms of Costa Rica, the ancient wisdom of Peru, and the mystical stories of Greece, Sanne's journey with fungi and plant medicines has blossomed into transformative ceremonies and retreats. With every gathering, she creates a safe haven for growth and discovery.

Sanne's own path to healing was paved with challenges—a journey through the depths of darkness that ultimately led her to the light. At just 18, she faced a heart attack and a near-death experience, unveiling profound insights into the resilience of the human spirit. Despite physical recovery, the shadows of anxiety, PTSD, and dissociation lingered. Determined to understand, she dove into the depths of trauma, seeking solace and healing.

Guided by mentors and fueled by her curiosity for holistic medicine and indigenous traditions, Sanne embarked on a journey to integrate mind, body, and heart. She studied with shamans, healers, and therapists who showed her how to work with the subconscious mind, integrate trauma, and facilitate ceremonies with intention and integrity. 

Honoring the ancient roots and cultural richness of the practices she holds dear, Sanne creates a sacred space where healing takes place. In Sanne's world, healing is an art—a dance between shadows and light. Through her work, she invites fellow creative and sensitive souls to embrace their journey, knowing that in the sacred space she co-creates, transformation is not just possible—it's inevitable.
