Young Adults - Noa's Practice

Being between 18 and 25 can feel like standing in an open field — full of possibilities, questions, pressure, and uncertainty.
Between who you were and who you're becoming.
Between expectations and your own inner voice.

This phase of life is often described as "emerging adulthood" — a time of transition, exploration, and becoming.

You might be studying, working, moving countries, changing directions, questioning identity, exploring relationships.

This age can also bring questions around intimacy, sexuality, and how to be in a relationship — with others and with yourself.
You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, tired, "behind," or unsure where you belong at all.
Sometimes everything looks "fine" from the outside — and still something inside asks for attention.

These meetings are an invitation to slow down and listen

How I work with young adults

I offer one-on-one accompanying sessions in two different ways.

Being With Noa - dialogue and presence

These sessions are not therapy and not coaching. They are a grounded, human meeting — a place to be with yourself, together, where you don't need to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or already know what you need.

Together, we create space for:

Dialogue and reflection
Noticing what's happening in your mind and body
Exploring emotions, patterns, and questions at your own pace
Reconnecting to your inner sense of direction

Sometimes we speak
Sometimes we pause
Sometimes we listen to the body and let it lead

There is no agenda to "fix" you — only to accompany you while something unfolds.

Ilan Lev Method - body-based sessions

Alongside dialogue-based sessions, I also offer Ilan Lev Method (ILM) sessions.

The Ilan Lev Method (ILM) enhances human capabilities, relieves pain, and restores body functionality. Through thoughtful dialogue and playful movement, this hands-on approach reconnects parts of the body affected by injury, pain, or emotional blocks, and supports renewed communication within your system as a whole. The body is invited to reorganise itself — physically, neurologically, and emotionally.

ILM works with the understanding that emotional experiences, life transitions, and stress are not only "in the mind" — they live in the nervous system, muscles, breath, and movement patterns. By restoring communication and mobility, space often opens for relief, clarity, and renewed trust in yourself.

For young adults, ILM sessions can be especially supportive when:

Stress, pressure or anxiety are felt strongly in the body
There is a chronic tension, pain or fatigue.
Emotions feel "stuck" or overwhelming
There is a sense of disconnection from the body or from inner signals.

What these sessions can support

Whether through dialogue, bodywork, or a combination of both, sessions can support you in:

Navigating transitions and uncertainty
Reducing stress and physical tension
Processing emotions and inner conflicts
Developing body awareness and self-trust
Feeling more grounded, present, and connected
Strengthening your capacity to make choices that feel right for you

You don't need to know in advance what kind of session you want. Some people come only for Being With Noa sessions, others for Ilan Lev Method sessions — and sometimes we decide together, step by step, what feels most supportive for you.

We move slowly, respectfully, and always within what feels safe and right for you.

Practical details

Sessions are offered in person at Body & Mind Centrum Leiden.
Being With Noa sessions are also offered online.

I do not work with acute or severe mental health issues. If needed, I'm happy to help think together about other forms of support.

You don't need to have the right words
You don't need to be "ready"
You don't need a clear problem to solve.
