My name is Sandra Lagerweij and I founded Inner-journey with a great team of professionals. For me, Trauma Release Body / Mind & Breathwork has completely changed my life. In every sense.

About 30 years ago I started to get all kinds of physical complaints. After many examinations I was told that I had the chronic bowel disease Crohn’s and the muscle disease Spondylarthropathy. My life and that of my family went through a rollercoaster of emotions, fear, sadness and pain.

Several doctors, more than 20 surgeries, medication, every week on the drip in the hospital, even a near-death experience couldn’t make me “better” and it went downhill with me and my health. Also mentally I got into burn-out and then depression. I had no idea who I was, where I was, I had completely lost myself and didn’t like myself anymore.

Since I suffered a lot from the side effects of the medication and was completely alienated from the world. Hospital in and hospital out. Me and especially my family all went under.

After the near-death experience, I started looking into alternative medications and treatments. I was gripped by this, cured from Crohn’s and the pain in my body became much less.

I went on to do various training courses to find myself again and to learn a lot from it. These beautiful courses, including Aromatherapy, Ayurveda, Herbalism, Moxa Therapy, Ear Candle Therapy, Color Therapy, acupressure and various oriental and holistic massages have led to me starting my own PurSan institute in 2007. An institute for “Outward beauty and inner strength.

Unfortunately, a negative turnaround in my life and due to the death of my father, my best friend, my sister in the same year and a divorce I also lost my PurSan Institute.

I tried to survive, continuously went beyond my limits so that my body and mind could no longer handle it…..Help!!

I continue, also because my daughter Demi works for me and if I fall, she is not too bad. I don’t want to lose myself, I don’t want to do it to my children not to be the sweet mama anymore, sick, weak, so very tired, nauseous, insecure, angry with myself and the whole world, distraught, stressed.

I can keep it up for another year, but then my mother dies and ends up in a severe burn-out. BAM, then your life really ends.

This was the moment that I first came into contact with Somatic Trauma Therapy. A world opened up for me, I got in touch with my inner self and could therefore go to the core of my problems.

Together with natural herbs, bodywork, Breathwork has healed me from my illnesses. It has helped me face and solve my problems. I could call on my self-healing ability and my physical and physical complaints disappeared.

With the help of TraumaRelease, Somatic Traumatherapy and Breathwork I have gained inner peace, self-confidence, strength and learned to enjoy life again.

And above all to love myself and life. Moreover, it has helped me in my spiritual development and in seeing my mission here on earth. Because if I manage to heal….then everyone will succeed, I am convinced of that.

Somatic Trauma Therapy & Breathwork taught me ever deeper layers of letting go, trust, love and truth. They made me see through my ego patterns that hinder me in daily life from living my truth fully. This often comes down to fear. Fear of failure, fear of loss, but perhaps most of all, fear of facing my traumas again.
