    Just wrapped up my last scheduled meeting with Pieter. I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to be able to work with him and allow me to grow myself to give the best version of me to the company. I know this journey never ends, but for this last seven months thank you!

  • "Instantly, upon working with Pieter, I recognized a man that has been doing his work. Astute and eloquent in his reflections of my experience, he helped me feel camaraderie and honor. His skill humbly revealed that we were on this journey together."

  • "I know it's my work. I recognize that. I just wanted somebody who could truly say 'I understand how you're feeling.' That makes a big difference. He's been there. He can truly relate in a way that most other people might not be able to."

  • "I never did embodiment before in my life. The tools that you use and the patterns that you see and are able to verbalize - it's just so valuable."

  • "I was most surprised by the embodiment exercises Pieter led me through. They provided an undeniable benefit of using the body to create meaning and better understand myself."

  • "One of the most transformative moments of my life. The work we did was medicinal. Pieter helped me find my edge and gave me the space to explore, take comfort, and expand. It can be hard at times to be a man in this world. As men cannot simply shut off our testosterone-fueled evolutionary instincts, but we cannot ignore our present day calling to be more tender and open-hearted. Pieter has found a way to allow these ideas to live in harmony inside of us."

What you can plan is too small for you to live.

What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough for the vitality hidden in your sleep.
