About Aniya

Aniya is a space shaped by rhythm, presence and care.
A shamanic way of living and meeting life in connection and harmony.

Aniya is a place where silence is honoured. Where words are chosen carefully,
and where moments of transition are met with attention.

The name Aniya carries associations of presence, authenticity and gentle care.
Rooted in the word ani — “I” or “I am” — and softened by the ending ya, it reflects a way of being that honours what is here, as it is.

Aniya breathes a lived trust in life. It reflects my personal life motto:
"Het leven loopt zoals het loopt."
"Que sera, sera."
"Life unfolds as it is meant to."

A way of meeting life without force, allowing it to unfold in its own time.

My path

My background is rooted in psychology. I trained and worked within established
clinical and systemic frameworks. This knowledge remains part of who I am
and continues to inform how I sense, hold and discern.

Alongside this, I have been walking a different, parallel path for over seven years.
One grounded in ritual practice, presence and lived experience.

Within Aniya, I do not work from a therapeutic or coaching framework.
Here, moments of transition are met through ritual, presence and rhythm.

This distinction is held with care and clarity, out of respect for both fields and for the people who enter this space.

Aniya is not therapy and does not replace psychological or medical care.

How we meet

Within Aniya, we meet through; Sacred Circles, Private Rituals in person or online and Sacred Journey Retreats.

Some moments are shared. Others are held one-to-one. All are shaped by presence, attention and reverence, rather than explanation or guidance.

Aniya is for those who sense that life can be lived differently; with more honesty, rhythm and connection.

You are welcome to read, to walk alongside, or to step closer when the time feels right.

With love,

Aniya | Sacred Journey
