Getting to know me
|
Hi, my name is Kathlien (pronounce: Kathleen)
When you asked me as a child what I wanted to become, I answered astronomer or Japanologist. Not exactly an average answer for a little Belgian girl. I had a vivid and exotic imagination and following an obvious path was not in the cards. I ended up not among the stars or in Japan, but in Italy where I studied painting in Venice (still a tad exotic). In 2009 I graduated from the Academy di Belle Arti of Venice in painting. I painted portraits of people in meditation or prayer under the title: "Sguardi oltre l'orrizonte": Glances Beyond the Horizon. Like me, they were searching for that which lies beyond our horizon-skin, beyond our tangible reality. See more about my work as an artist @ The art of soulscapes |
I have always had this vocation to un-discover who we are as human beings and what life is all about. It is these fragile boundaries that concern me, the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the tangible and the intangible, between what is called dead and alive, real and unreal, primal and celestial.
My work is located on this border, or in this broad spectrum. The transition between worlds. Encompassing the whole experience of being human both in flesh and blood and in spirit.
After 7 years in Italy I moved back to Belgium in 2012. My son Ilai was born and opened me up to the amazing experience of becoming a mother, introducing me to what was to become my great passion: guiding children into this world. In 2015, I founded Innata. Through bodywork, meditation, and creative coaching, I have guided many people in feeling and discovering who they truly are. And as a doula and “spiritual midwife,” I have guided children into life and supported women through childbirth. I was lucky to be able to work with people from all over the world, getting to know their traditions, to feel their deep roots and to discover the many expressions of humans on earth.
Since moving to Portugal, my practice is no longer a physical space but an online meeting place. Today, my work focuses on the spiritual realm. I keep the space open for our ancestors, for the soul, and for Spirit, so that a new future becomes possible through a new clarity and expanded understanding. So that you, I, and we can experience together what it means to be truly fulfilled human beings.
I currently live on a beautiful farm, our space of love, in Portugal with my husband, son and cats.
