Femke Valerie

I did a plant medicine ceremony before with Femke, and it was a really beautiful experience. This time I wanted to go deeper into the integration process after the ceremony. What I really liked was her somatic way of working, because it helped me understand my body and my nervous system in a way I didn’t manage before.

In my past there was quite a lot of stress and some traumatic events, and working with Femke helped me see my own patterns more clear. I feel more grounded now, I trust myself more, and I can notice better when something is my intuition or when it’s just an old pattern coming up. It makes me feel much more prepared and resilient to move through life with all its complexity.

The whole process felt very safe, like Femke was really present with me and not judging anything that came up. Because of this I could open up more and go deeper into the process.

I would really recommend this to anyone who is looking for a deep, meaningful and supportive journey. Not only during the plant medicine retreat, but also in the integration sessions after the experience.

I had the privilege of joining a plant retreat guided by Femke, and I am still deeply moved by this experience. Femke has a rare and beautiful way of truly seeing people. With her, you don’t just feel welcomed, you feel genuinely understood. Her presence is warm, clear, and incredibly gentle, almost as if she intuitively meets you exactly where you are.

Throughout the retreat, I felt completely safe and supported. She senses what you need without many words, whether it’s a quiet moment, a grounding look, a soft conversation, or simply her calm presence. Especially during the ceremony, her guidance was an anchor for me. She works quietly in the background, yet she is there in the very moment you need her.

This retreat gifted me clarity, peace, and a deep trust in myself. Femke played a significant part in that transformation. She is a wonderful human being with a true heart for holding healing spaces. I am profoundly grateful for this experience and would return to her any time.

Wow, wat an experience!! I joined the sacred reconnection program, because I really wanted to go deeper into certain themes. What I really liked about this program was the focus on integration as well, because I was a bit scared for so called "post-ceremony blues". From the beginning I came into contact with Femke, her presence felt very warm, safe and reassuring.

We first had an intake call to discuss my background and intentions a bit more, where we discussed how I could prepare best and what to expect from working with the psilocybin truffles. Instead of rushing me to give me advice, Femke beautifully held space for me and asked me questions to go deeper into my own process. I also really liked the online guidebooks I received, with the focus on working with the nervous system and your inner landscape, to really get in touch deeper with your own emotions, feelings and intuition.

The retreat itself was so much more than I expected! It was a beautiful, calm place in nature, where I immeditaly felt at home. Femke really took the time to explain to me what to expect and made me feel at ease. After a first sharing, we did a meditation which already brought up so much for me. When I received the plant medicine, the nerves I felt where almost completely gone and I felt ready to dive in. The journey itself is hard to describe in words, but it felt like coming home.

At one moment, it felt like I finally felt and understood the true meaning of unconditional love, wrapped around me, just radiating pure and beautiful light. I felt so much love and gratitude- not only for the people around me, but also for myself. Another part of the journey was quite emotional, but I just felt completely in safe hands to let those emotions just be there. To cry, to ask for a hug, or a small conversation, or just another blanket when I felt cold. It felt like all my normal daily struggles where washed away from me, but instead I connected with something more deeper, who "I" really am. After the ceremony, where I lost all track of time, Femke had prepared a delicious meal for me and we just enjoyed some quiet time with a fire outside.

When I came home after the retreat, I really needed to let it all land, I felt like I received so much "downloads" and information. This is where I was so glad to have the integration calls as well, to help me ground a bit more, but also recall and go deeper into some parts of the ceremony, and the emotions and insights that had came up. As someone who has been living in her head for the most time of her life, the somatic process really helped me settle and feel much more in touch with myself. Not just my thoughts, but my inner voice and intuition, my body, my feelings, and just helped me feel so much more in touch with what I need, instead of what other people expect from me. I know feel so much better what my boundaries and needs are, and have much more confidence in expressing them more clearly.

Looking back now at the end of the program, it truly felt like a homecoming for me. I know the inner work will continue as well, as healing does not have a deadline, but it felt like a heavy blanket with 10 kg extra weight has come off me. I feel more at peace, with a deeper sense of stillness and trust in myself and life that I did not have before. The constant heaviness and anxiety are gone, like the constant background noise that was there before in my head, have gone silent.

If you feel the calling, please don't ignore this and listen to your intuition! I can only highly 100% recommend it and I'm so grateful to have taken this journey with Femke. For me, it truly has changed a lot already. I'm already looking forward to the next session with her!!
