Paul Rijken
I believe that every person can be who he or she really is. By making themselves vulnerable to connect with others in an authentic way.
Because the desire for connection is deep within every human being.
It is all our early experiences that have led to us often having difficulty being ourselves. We do not dare to do this, or we do not know how to do this anymore.
It is my wish that you know who you really are.

Mission
Making yourself vulnerable and being yourself is not easy. Inspired by my own experiences, my mission is to guide people in this. To let them discover what their real desires and boundaries are and to bring this out. To be able to become who they really are and do what they really want.My special interest is:
- defense mechanisms/behavioral patterns, developed against old repressed pain from childhood that no longer work in adult life
- fears; depression; burn-out; bore-out
- child/adult consciousness
- high sensitivity
- the conscious man; men's role in relationships
It is my passion to help others (with the help of Rebalancing) to feel their body, to allow what is there and to discover their vulnerability. To support them in the fact that vulnerability has a power in it to be who you are deep down.
It is natural for me to create a safe and familiar atmosphere in which you can relax. By making myself vulnerable I can meet you completely.

Inspiration
As an intellectual (academically trained biologist) I know what it is like to live too much from the head (judging too quickly, analyzing, drawing conclusions, looking for solutions) and how difficult it can be to feel in the body. I now use all my experiences and my empathy to guide you during a session, to ensure that there is less thinking and more feeling.My approach is holistic and I am inspired by the things I do and have done:
- Sexuality and sexual energy (Rita van Rijnsoever, 2024-present)
- Chi Kung / Tai Chi (Erik Huele; Ingrid van Breemen; Sebastiaan van Zaanen; 2022-present)
- Breathing and sound work (Eric van Grootel, 2019-present)
- Mindfulness (Jantine Peters, 2018-2025)
- Rebalancing with children (Mariska Gieskes, Rebalancing Centrum, 2018)
- Integrating human anatomy with Rebalancing bodywork (Jolande Bosch, Rebalancing Centrum, 2016-2021)
- Cognitive therapy (Jolande Merlijn, 2014-2016)
- Pathology and Rebalancing (Mariska Gieskes, Rebalancing Centrum, 2014-2015)
- Massage therapy (exchange with collegues, 2013-present)
- Rebalancing training (Rebalancing Centrum, 2013-2016)
- Holistic Chiropractic (Jim Townhill, 2011-present)
- Reiki level I & II (Joyce van Raad, 2003)
