Hello, I'm Sebastiaan R.
I am a certified Rebalancing® bodywork therapist based in The Netherlands, with over a decade of hands-on experience guiding people through profound transformation. My journey began in my teens when I became fascinated by the mind's workings and its impact on daily life. I discovered Zen meditation through Charlotte Joko Beck's transformative book Every Day Zen, which deepened my practices and ignited my passion for Self Realization. Meanwhile, I graduated in International Business Studies from the University of Maastricht and spent nearly two decades as a Business Consultant. I know intimately the pressure, pace, and expectations of corporate life—but this misalignment with my true calling led to burnout about 15 years ago. That crisis became my greatest awakening. Through bodywork, I discovered the body's infinite wisdom—its natural compass that guides us back to balance, heart-centered alignment, inner peace, and authentic happiness. This realization prompted a complete career pivot. Where I once optimized business processes for efficiency, I now focus on optimizing human processes—helping people simplify their inner complexity and live more effectively from their essence. I trained as a Rebalancing® therapist and volunteered at Amsterdam's 113 Suicide Prevention Crisis Line, supporting those in their darkest moments. Sacred plant medicine has been central to my growth and work for the past decade, and for the last eight years, I've guided many through psilocybin journeys. As owner and facilitator of Mushroom Awakening, I weave conscious Self Inquiry, somatic bodywork, parts work, talk therapy, psilocybin medicine, and the occasional laugh. My commitment is simple: to create safe, practical, down-to-earth, holistic spaces where high performers reconnect with themselves, find lasting peace, and step confidently onto their authentic path.
