Heart Coherence & Trauma

“There is compelling evidence to suggest that the physical heart is linked to a field of information/energy that is not bound by the classical boundaries of time and space.” 
- McCarty R, Atkins M, & Bradley RT. (2004)

Heart coherence is a state of being in which the heart, brain, and energetic nervous system work together, aligning the individual with unity and the greater whole.

Heart coherence invites us to live from a space of inner alignment, and to recognize that our presence is part of a larger field — one that is responsive, intelligent, and deeply relational.

In individuals with traumatic experiences, the coherence between body, heart, and brain is often disrupted. The nervous system may remain chronically in a survival state — marked by hypervigilance, dissociation, or freeze — making it difficult to feel safe, connected or present.

Heart coherence can play a key role in healing, because it offers a safe counterbalance to chaos and fragmentation, helps the body remember a state of regulation and connection, and opens the path to a felt-sense of safety in the body and in relation, which is essential for deeper healing.

Heart coherence is more than just calmness or relaxation. In this state the heart, brain, and nervous system operate in synergy, creating a coherent electromagnetic field that influences not only one’s internal state, but also radiates outward into the collective field. This allows for enhanced emotional regulation, improved cognitive clarity and decision-making, and a deeper sense of connection — with ourselves, with others, and life itself.

Heart coherence goes beyond mere relaxation; it brings the heart, brain, and body into a more and more attuned state of unity and alignment.

My Approach

My work focuses on guiding people through their transformation process. Energetic therapy provides a safe and supportive space for this journey.

The body carries the imprints of our past — including what we may not consciously remember. Through subtle attunement, presence, and energetic work, a space can open in which old tensions, blockages, or layers of trauma can be released and integrated.

This safe holding is essential: the nervous system can only relax and transform when it feels seen, acknowledged, and held. Energetic therapy thus offers not only an entry point into healing, but also a foundation for embodying who we truly are.

I offer tools that support the integration of shadow parts and our trauma history, help to reverse inner blockages, and soften pain. In addition, I support you on the path of self-awareness, inner growth, trauma healing, and the unfolding of your soul’s potential.

In deeply felt presence and relationship, a space can open. I want to be there with you — to offer a holding space in presence — for that part in you where connection has been lost: with yourself, with others, with the Source, or with the world. And through that, to help restore relation.

I stand with you in the place where you have found yourself alone — alone in need.

Karin Niemann

Energy Healing Therapist within Complementary and Integrative Healthcare and Transpersonal Counselor

I am an energy healing practitioner specialized in subtle energy work and trauma release, guiding people through their transformational process of awareness and healing. I provide training in Transparent Communication and work as a study group leader of the core group of Thomas Hübl, which focuses on collective healing. Furthermore I am a lecturer at the Academy for Humanities in Utrecht in Biofield Healing. Regardless of whether I am working with an individual or a group; the foremost important value to me is the human capacity for attunement, our natural — and even sacred — gift. It is a resource that we can develop, strengthen, and apply in service of both ourselves and the world.

Personal Experience

Prior to my current work as a therapist, I spent over 35 years as an entrepreneur in the healthcare sector. As an internationally acclaimed ceramist within Oral Design, I worked at the highest level of aesthetic dentistry — a craft requiring utmost precision, attention, and beauty — a place where human vulnerability was often tangibly present.

A profound personal crisis confronted me with the question: Who am I when everything I once identified with falls away? I chose to walk with that question. What began as personal distress unfolded into a path of healing. From that journey, a deep dedication arose — to both personal and collective transformation. A path of awakening, restoration and inner growth.

My work forms a bridge between the unspeakable and the investigable. Additionally to my lived experience, I backed up my insights with several studies in this field of healing. From that bedding I guide people on their own path of development.

My Vision on Healing

Healing is not about fixing symptoms — it is a way back to connection. To the body, to our history and to the flow of life itself. 

As an energetic therapist, I work with the language of the body, the silence of the nervous system, and the deeper currents of information that often go unnoticed. I don’t see trauma as “what went wrong,” but as places where life has been frozen in order to survive — where the original movement was interrupted, where love could not flow.

Healing begins when we can stay with the energy of our experiences in us that once were overwhelming. The relation gets restored — in a space of presence, safety and attunement. This creates more space in the system and allows it to regain its natural rhythm and to open up. Then the self-healing capacity starts flowing again and turns into a natural state of flow. 

Healing is facilitating an inner process. We heal to become who we truly are — connected, embodied, and available for life.

Testimonials

  • “As a psychologist and coach, I rarely encounter someone with such a refined intuition and pure presence as Karin. She works with a profound gentleness and an almost otherworldly sensitivity to energy—as if directly connected to what lives beneath the surface, often before the client has even put it into words.

    Her sessions are transformative: subtle yet powerful. Without judgment, without forcing, she brings movement to what was stuck—and creates space for insight, relaxation, and healing. What makes her work so special is the combination of pure energetic work with a deeply rooted humanity.

    Karin is not a 'healer' in the fashionable sense of the word, but a woman with an exceptional gift and a clear compass. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is ready to truly feel, open up, and heal.” 

    - Rik Walet, Psycholoog NIP

     

  • "Karin does profound process work, both with and without touch, and my session with her was very moving and deeply transformative. She took a lot of time, was extremely empathetic, and the energetic part of the work felt like magic to me. In just one session, I was able to work through and integrate deep ancestral themes, and her gentle touch and subtle sensitivity greatly supported me in processing old emotions. I left the session feeling more present, calm, and significantly more “whole,” with a stronger sense of connection to my inner child - and thus to my joy and vitality—while still retaining and even deepening my life wisdom.

    Karin’s space is also amazing (lots of plants, natural light, and unique design), and she is a wonderful host - so I felt completely comfortable and cared for throughout. Absolutely recommended - I’ll definitely be going back!"

    - Christopher Kabakis, Evolute Institute

     

  • "Karin has been a rock during an incredibly difficult time in my life. Where I repeatedly hit a limit in conventional healthcare, she knew how to support me and stay present with me, right there in this incomprehensible layer, creating space together again and again. Always with boundless compassion, ultra-gentleness, and precision. With immeasurable love and respect for the process and every step that presented itself."

    - Guusje, Music Composer

     

  • “When you step into Karin's practice, you immediately feel relaxed and safe. Karin has given me many insights into how old fears and tensions had lodged in my body. Through guided meditation and healing, these tensions were softened and reduced. The healing itself is fantastic. I consistently experienced a very deep state of relaxation and felt tension being released from my body. A real treat!

    Karin is an expert, attunes to you, and is able to sense where your tension resides and how you are doing. She has a warm and dedicated personality, and you sense how she has your best interests at heart and succeeds in giving you those very best.”
