* 'Femke's sessions helped us connect to our love, confidence and our sexuality.'
Femke van Gurp
Femke van Gurp created Essence Pillar. She has a background as a professional in the arts and worked as a paintings conservator.
She is trained by the best in the field of relationships, intimacy, trauma & mental health and sexuality. Her knowledge about ancient traditions, contemporary science combined with her years of experience in working with clients, led to her successful approach. Her strength lies in the fact that people feel secure with her and are able to open up in a blink of an eye. Her intuitive way of working enables her to go to layers where people are often unaware of. She knows what it feels like to be in a dark place in life. The way she touches people is unequaled and reaches deep.
