Over / Bio
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami 💞
Namaste and feel welcome, here on my page! :)
So delighted and grateful that U were lead here. 💞
About me and the work I do.
My name is Gail and I am the founder and owner of ´GAEA - Centre for the Healing Arts & WellBeing´.
Born and raised in Paramaribo, Surinam, I moved to the Netherlands to study Social work and Psychology. After my studies I was supposed to move back to my Homeland, but never did ....
I have a Master's degree in Social Work and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology.
After my studies I worked as a Social worker, in the field of domestic violence with women and children, as a Teacher for Social Workers and a (empowerment) Trainer of various Psycho-Social courses and workshops.
Over the past 20 years, I have worked with individuals and groups within various settings, from a women's shelter, to classrooms, training organizations and group settings, psychiatry to wellness resorts, helping people on their path of healing, recovery and wellbeing.
I see my work as part of my Soul´s Journey and - Mission, an expression of that which I came to do here.
It is out of Loving Service that I guide, heal, support, mentor, empower and inspire others to know, heal, love and be true to themselves. To be able to Live/Love, with an open and compassionate Heart and follow their calling and Soul Journey, in a ´Authentic and Loving´ way.
By sharing what this Sacred Soul Journey has taught me and what has helped me along the way, I hope it can help U too.
I invite you to browse through the info on this page and read about my Soul´s Journey, to feel, if my story resonates with yours!
If it does,
contact me for 1-on-1 sessions in person or if you have a busy schedule we can also meet and have sessions by video calling.
This time of rapid change and transformation, asks of us to constantly do the Inner Work and make the necessary changes in our own lives! Change and Love starts within our selves first ..

About my Soul Journey and finding the Self
¨The stormy Search for the Self¨
A mental, emotional, spiritual & physical ´break-down´, took me on a whole different path, than the one I was travelling on, before my (emotional & mental) ´break-through´....
A couple of psychological labels, such as adjustment disorder, burn-out, (postnatal) depression, anxiety & panic attacks opened the door to explore psychology & spirituality on a deeper level, which let to knowledge about Kundalini Awakening, Soul-loss and ´Spiritual Crisis & Emergency´ (terms I 1st encountered by reading the book ¨A stormy search for the self by C.Grof & S. Grof)
Going through many spiritual crisis/emergency, dark nights of the Soul, transformations, breakdowns and breakthroughs, let to trying out different healing methods/arts. A whole new adventure of (self) discovery/awareness, healing, soul growth, higher consciousness, which goes on and on...
Being highly emotionally sensitive and the battle with anxiety, depression, feelings of vulnerability, inadequacy, insecurity, shame & guilt throughout the years, has helped me to come face to face with myself (ego) my persona, and all dark/light aspects within, such as deep rooted fears, anxiety, shame and guilt and wounds, I didn even know lived within me!
This personal healing proces also inspired me to look deeper into the mystery of life, exploring various religious, spiritual, esoteric texts and ancient teachings and further developing my knowledge regarding the psyche/soul.
The study and practice of Meditation, Body- & energy work, Mythology, Transpersonal Psychology, Astrology, Numerology, Tarot, Oracle cards and other divination tools, have formed an integrated whole in my work.
This Life Path, I now see as the ‘’Stormy search for the Self’’, gave me many insights in my Soul Mission and many tools for the Work & Service, I came to do here... helping to raise awareness and play a part in the blossoming of humanity’s (higher) consciousness and Soul's evolution..
In much Love n Light,
Gail 💞

Beroepsverenigingen
Ben niet bij een beroepsvereniging aangesloten, omdat ik geloof in ´equal give and take´en dat is niet het geval. Het levert mij te weinig op aan voordelen. De tijd voor het volgen van cursussen, het contributie geld en de verplichtingen, waar ik aan moet voldoen, investeer ik liever in mijn clienten en zelfstudie.

Testimonials
¨ It takes a soulful healer who is in touch with their own soul their true authentic self, unafraid to show their own battle scars. Reaching out from soul to soul instead of reciting textbook solutions...¨ (Chantal)
" Mijn sessie met Gail was erg fijn. Door haar open, intuïtieve benadering kwamen we op onderwerpen die ik vooraf niet had kunnen bedenken, maar midden in de roos waren. Tijdens het gesprek had ik het gevoel dat ik alles kon zeggen en voelde ik me gezien. Na afloop kreeg direct een aantal bruikbare tips en hulpmiddelen mee. Ik voelde me direct ontladen... " (Marjolein)
"" Gail kan zeer goed luisteren en analyseren.
Na mijn uitgebreide en niet chronologische verhaal, kon ze me met gemak uitleggen wat ik had ervaren. Ze gaf me waardevolle inzichten en tips. En de vraag waarmee ik liep heeft - anders dan ik had kunnen vermoeden - een antwoord. Ik ben blij dat ik naar haar ben toe gegaan. Haar warme en persoonlijke manier van werken sprak me ook aan.
Heel fijn om iemand zo betrokken te voelen als je hulp zoekt..." (Coen)
"...I met Gail coincidentally on my trip to Rotterdam. We had a really inspiring conversation and then she gave me a reiki treatment. She is such a nice and warm person and so was the reiki session. She diagnozed and treated some aching areas in my back, her voice is really pleasant. I felt a sense of release in my hole body and mind when the session was over. I'm really grateful for the healing energy she was able to pass to me and I want to recommend her to anyone ...." (Veronica)
