Solid Foundation Trajectory
3-month follow-up integration trajectory to solidify lasting change in your ‘life after ceremony’
Would you like to?
Further dive into the themes that came up during your Plant Medicine integration by deepening your somatic (‘body focused’) work?
Many of my clients answer ‘yes’ to this question and this guided path to a deeper embodiment of your ceremony experiences could be the missing link for you too!
Next to my regular Basic Foundation Package, I am offering a follow-up trajectory of 3 months (we will draft a customized route together).
This personalized integration path is well-suited for those who would like to receive: extra tools + exercises, additional guidance and e-support in between sessions.
Many of my clients enroll in this Solid Foundation Trajectory to deepen and continue the somatic work we started with during the regular Plant Medicine support sessions.
Because they find that it takes guidance, time, repetition and commitment to truly solidify the changes you want to see in your life.
I’m curious…
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar to you?
After coming out of your Plant Medicine retreat abroad, you feel bursting with inspiration. But, since your ceremony ‘afterglow’ is starting to wear off, you find yourself falling back into old patterns + routines again.
A lot of time and money spent without reaping the real benefits from your work with these sacred entheogens…
Or,
Coming back with a lot of homework for your ‘life after ceremony’ can feel daunting: A big mountain to climb. You have a sense of where you are headed, but find yourself getting frustrated in trying to figure out: ‘Where to start and how to make it concrete, practical and the end result here to stay?’
Or,
You notice having trouble asking for professional help because ‘you should be able to do this on your own, right?’ And this lack of a knowledgeable and trusted ‘accountability partner’ makes you feel even more lost, alone and isolated from your partner, friends, colleagues and family ever since you got back home.
Or, (Last one, I promise)
You find yourself going to one Plant Medicine ceremony after the other. Having an enjoyable time, traveling to other dimensions and also working on the same theme or ‘intention’ you formulate every time. But, you only manage to ‘scratch the surface’ and, soon enough, end up booking yet another retreat (and formulating the same intention again) because you didn’t manage to solidify a breakthrough by yourself.
Sounds familiar?
Don’t worry, you are not the only one.
Because solidifying lasting change by yourself and doing more than just scratching the surface of your ‘ceremony homework’ is often simply hard and complicated work.
I see a lot of people struggling in their psychedelic integration process because they focus solely on the mental constructs of their experiences, allowing too much space for the cognitive mind wanting to make meaning, to rationally explain and understand.
While leaving the body, the subconscious and intuition out of the equation and losing vital insights, answers, messages and guidance in the process…
Not reaping benefits
The outcome is that many people don’t succeed in truly embodying their ceremony intentions, plans, or wishes and end up spending a lot of time and money without reaping the real benefits from their work with these sacred Plant Teachers…
Don’t worry, I’ve been there too.
Being introduced to Plant Medicine over 10 years ago has been a true blessing.
But, looking back, my journey would have been less rocky with adequate preparation and after-care (or ‘integration’) support. This realization turned out to be the inspiration to provide professional guidance and support to make your journey go smoother than mine.
In other words:
You don’t have to do this on your own because this is where my specialized support comes in!
Why should I support you?
During our time spent working together, I invite you to collaborate with your body (or ‘Soma’) and all the treasures, insights and teachings it holds.
Because, after over a decade of integrating over 150 Plant Medicine ceremonies myself and professionally supporting many fellow seekers in their integration process (during a couple of hundred sessions to date),
I found that:
Including the body in your ‘integration conversation’ will give you the key to truly start solidifying the changes you seek.
This might sound easy because we tend to think, ‘my body talks to me all the time’. But as it turns out, the body whispers while the ‘mind’ shouts and as a result, many of us find it hard to truly listen. Many of us (especially in the ‘West’) are ‘walking heads’.
Does this sound familiar to you?
No worries, because with the help of their Plant Medicine journey, many ‘travelers’ who come to me also realize being stuck in recurring patterns and unhelpful behaviors and recovered the willingness to learn to listen better to their body and its messages, guidance, or needs.
“Embodied integration is when the plant medicine experience becomes not just an idea or an insight, but a lived experience”

How does this work?
I am a trained trauma-informed Counsellor, Plant Medicine Integration Specialist and somatic (‘body focused’) practitioner and during our integration sessions together, we will talk, but the most part will be spent on creating the space that allows your body to talk to you instead.
We will set up a direct ‘line of communication’ with your body without interference from the ‘mind’. We will shift to decoding what your body and subconscious are communicating to you (via emotions, physical sensations, or messages through mental images, visions, or words).
And with time and repetition, you will learn to trust, acknowledge and listen to your body more and actively start applying the guidance it gives you in your day-to-day life.
I find that this is the path towards full embodiment and truly solidifying your ceremony insights, plans and wishes.
How do I work?
During our work together, I will invite you to bring your attention away from your rational, cognitive mind and into your body, your subconscious and intuition, using various tools and techniques from different traditions.
After letting you ‘land into your body’, I will offer you countless opportunities to visualize, re-experience and reassess your ceremony highlights.
We will then further work with the central elements and themes that have presented themselves by distilling concrete, practical and attainable building blocks that you can take with you in your day-to-day life.
I will provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where there is room for you and the struggles, teachings and victories that make your path in life valuable, sacred and unique.
At all times, we will work together; I will meet you where you are.
Next to working Trauma-Informed, the tools and techniques I use to support and guide you are manifold and come from (Somatic) Experiencing, Hypnotherapy, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Vipassana meditation, Curious Inquiry, Jungian Shadow Work, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems (esp. Inner Child work), Existential therapy and both Stress & Grief Counselling.
To make this more concrete
How would it be if you could…
Stop going to Plant Medicine ceremonies feeling lost and frustrated when you don’t reach the results you hoped for after coming home and wondering ‘Am I doing something wrong?’
Work with someone who has been in your shoes many, many times before and can prevent you from the unnecessary long, tumultuous and rocky ‘integration road’ she’s had.
Learn to become more aware of what you need and to better identify your feelings, needs and boundaries. And as a result, feel empowered, confident and safe in your body. This is a valuable asset that will help you for the rest of your life.
Solidify the breakthroughs that you couldn’t keep up without regular 1:1 support and professional guidance because now you understand how to truly reap the fruits of your work with these powerful Plant Teachers.
Make the lasting changes that enable you to lead a more fulfilled life and be a happier person (and partner, parent, friend, relative, or colleague) altogether.
Key to success
Of course, the amount of time, commitment and dedication you bring to our work together will be key to its success. The more you truly integrate this deepening path into your daily life, the more fruitful it will be.
What to expect after working together these 3 months?
My objective is to support you in sustaining the transformation and change in your everyday life in a way that lasts.
To maximize the benefits of communing with these powerful and ancient entheogens. Instead of a collection of ceremony experiences that fade into the background again.
For example, with choosing a new career path or overall sense of ‘purpose’, taking better care of yourself, or striving for a more conscious relationship with your loved ones.
We will work following these 3 elements:
Deepening your somatic ('body focused') work.
Distill the central themes that came up during your Plant Medicine integration.
Embody and solidify the changes you want to make in your life (and using ‘time’, ‘small steps’ and ‘repetition’ as our allies).
Sounds amazing! Sign me up!
This 3 month Solid Foundation Trajectory consists of:
5 x 60-minute online support sessions
(+/-3 weeks in between)
focused on your ceremony experiences, intention, or central theme.
Plus extra
Guided somatic exercises and visualizations
that help you (re-) connect to your body + subconscious and reassess the highlights from your ceremony. These somatic highlights are the true ‘treasure box’, because they will help us to distill concrete, practical and attainable building blocks that you can start to anchor into your day-to-day life (instead of letting them fade away with time). In other words: You will learn what ‘integration’ truly entails and how to successfully apply this concept into your life.
Meditation practices
that you can build into your daily (morning/evening) routine to help you sustain the change you wish to see by creating new patterns and habits. Learning to work with your body like this is a very helpful tool for the rest of your life.
Journalling homework
to process and integrate the work you do on a deeper level and to keep track of your experiences and progress going forward. Research shows that this is a highly recommended daily practice to start with because it will increase the depth, quality, and success of your ceremony integration going forward.
Additional guidance via e-support in between sessions
During weekdays, I am available in between sessions if you have further questions/issues on the homework or daily practices or if you feel that discussing your experiences with me would benefit the progression of your somatic work.
Extended report
Also included in the price is an extended report of the key elements/harvest that came out of your session that I will write afterwards (in 30 minutes) and email to you. I will transcribe the keywords and sentences that I sense are important to take with you and clients report back that this helps them to ‘let go and be fully present during the session’ and that ‘revisiting their session like this greatly benefits further solidifying the outcomes of the work’.
Limited openings
Please know that I have a limited number of openings for this deepening 3-month trajectory a few times a year. Please email me if you are interested in enrolling and we will determine your starting date together.
Nicolle, USA, in her thirties
“I am so grateful I stumbled across Marijntje while searching for help with integration after some plant medicine ceremonies. I was doing so much “work” in my ceremonies but really needed assistance to deepen my understanding of what I was learning. Marijntje has helped me do just that! She is so gifted at what she does, her somatic work has not only helped me gain access to many lessons from ceremonies but has helped me in my everyday life with the practice of embodiment.
It has been such a gift working with her and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to deepen their understanding and glean more wisdom from their plant medicine experiences”.

Miguel, Switzerland, in his forties
“Having participated in numerous ceremonies over the years, the recent ones, where her guidance was included, proved to be especially transformative. In her sessions, I’ve developed a deeper awareness of the insights that emerge during these ceremonies. The somatic exercises she suggests are notably effective, enabling me to reconnect with profound experiences and emotions that surface in my personal journey, thereby aiding in their more complete processing. I greatly appreciate how Marijntje creates a relaxed and comforting environment where I feel secure and accepted in all vulnerability.
Additionally, I find the detailed and thoughtful written feedback she provides after each session very useful. It contributes to a more organized comprehension of the progression of the work“.
Miguel
Dan, Luxembourg, in his forties
“I had previously been to several ceremonies without ever really working intentionally on post-ceremony integration. I would kid myself that I could do this on my own relying mainly on personal practices such as yoga and meditation without needing external guidance. The work I have since done with Marijntje has completely changed this perception. It has been wonderfully fulfilling to further uncover and nurture the channels to the body and heart that the plant medicine opened, channels that so often end up closing again when the afterglow finally subsides if they aren’t nurtured in the right way.
Marijntje facilitated this beautifully using her somatic-based approach, with her endless warmth, empathy and trust, she helped me to revisit the ceremony and bring the teachings back into the “real world” while providing me the tools with which to ground these further in reality. Her reassuring and open presence has been invaluable for what can sometimes be a rocky transition from ceremony into daily life. Her custom-made integration reports after each session have been invaluable. In many ways, each session with Marijntje is a mini-ceremony in itself.
Much gratitude, Marijntje”.

Chelsea, USA, in her thirties
“Over the last months, our work together has allowed me to gain a deeper connection to myself, my body’s wisdom, and the profound lessons that come through for me in sacred ceremony. I used to struggle with intention setting and integration. Now, I am blown away by how clear the lessons are coming through and I can actually embody and solidify them on a whole new level.
I truly cannot recommend working with Marijntje enough. This was the missing piece of the puzzle for me and I am so grateful for her dedication to this extremely important work”.

I am a new client, can I start this Solid Foundation Trajectory?
Yes, you are most welcome to enroll straight away as it will benefit the quality of your ceremony integration if you can apply the guidance and tools that I offer straight away. Please send me an email to let me know that you are interested in this deepening trajectory and we will schedule a (free, 30-minute) Introduction Chat to get to know each other a bit better before we possibly start working together and also for me to find out how I can support you.
I am going on a holiday and won’t be able to finish the package in 3 months, is this a problem?
Not at all, I will make an exception if you are not able to finish the package in 3 months due to a holiday or if you are going on an offline ‘dieta’ or to a remote Plant Medicine retreat location. That said, I generally advise scheduling our sessions not more than 3 weeks apart to uphold continuing our work together as optimally as possible.
