Psychologist for Somatic & Body-Oriented Counseling

Psychological counseling, breathwork, meditation and yoga — grounded in psychology, informed by the body.

I’m Isabel Maass, a psychologist (M.Sc.) and Bodynamic Practitioner in Training. I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply — not only through thoughts and words, but also through the patterns, boundaries, impulses and resources that show up in the body.

You can work with me through online psychological counseling, breathwork sessions, guided meditation, yoga and retreats.

Ways to Work Together

Different ways of working with mind and body — depending on what you need, where you are and what you want to explore.

Psychological Counseling

A space to understand recurring patterns, relationships, boundaries and what gets in the way — with the body included in the process.

Breathwork Sessions

Guided breathwork to explore how you feel, respond and regulate — using the breath as a direct way into the body.

Retreats

Time away from everyday routines to explore psychology, body-based practice, creativity and connection in more depth.

Yoga

Movement, breath and awareness — with a focus on feeling your body rather than performing a shape.

Guided Meditation

Guided practices that help you notice what is happening without immediately needing to change, fix or analyse it.

My Approach

A body-oriented approach to psychological work

My work is grounded in psychology and increasingly shaped by Bodynamic, a body-oriented approach that looks at how psychological patterns, resources and ways of relating are reflected in the body.

Rather than focusing only on what we think or feel, I’m interested in how we reach out, hold back, set boundaries, seek support and respond under pressure — and what becomes possible when those patterns are explored with more awareness and choice.

How I came to work this way

I started with psychology. Yoga, meditation and breathwork came later — first as personal practices, then increasingly as part of how I understood people and change.

Over time, it became harder to separate psychological work from what happens in the body. My training in Bodynamic gave me a framework for bringing those parts together more consciously.

Today, that combination shapes the way I work across counseling, breathwork, meditation and yoga.

Client Experiences

What working together can feel like

"Isabel showed me how important it is to become and stay close to yourself. Making mind and body sinc with each other. I really enjoyed the yoga with her, a peaceful moment i'd like to continue back home."

Female (26), Netherlands

“I’m deeply grateful for Isabel’s support during one of the most difficult times in my life. After the end of an eight-year relationship, she not only held space for me but helped me rebuild. With her empathy and deep understanding, I regained my confidence, recognized my strengths, and allowed myself to grieve without judgment. Thank you for everything.”

"We attended Yoga classes with Isabel at Kite Surfing Lanka. We had a great time, her support during the different moves is so great to push yourself beyond your limits. Her smile & energy make the class very pleasant. With waking up early in the morning for such classes."
