About Me

Body-based coaching for women who are often in a state of activation and long for rest, regulation, and awareness.

A gentle form of guidance that supports you in slowing down, calming your nervous system, and returning home to your body and yourself.

My Work

My name is Naomi Houwertjes, and I have completed more than 740 hours of training in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra, meditation, and holistic coaching.

With almost ten years of experience in guiding people through body-based work and yoga, I have taught over 2,500 sessions to approximately 500 students, both online and in person.

My work is grounded in yin and restorative principles, stress regulation, the nervous system, and body-based awareness. This background forms the foundation of how I work today as a body-based coach.

I support people in reconnecting with their body, emotions, and inner world in a gentle and held way.

In my sessions, space is created for slowing down, awareness, and nervous system regulation. I work with women who want to experience more rest, connection, and clarity within themselves.

Return to Rest

About Me

I’ve always been a sensitive and intuitive person. From a young age, I felt a strong pull toward understanding myself, this world, and how I navigate my feelings and experiences.

My healing journey started early and unfolded through many forms — creativity, embodied movement like pilates, movement, reflection, and later meditation and yoga. These practices helped me build a deeper relationship with myself and taught me how to listen to what the body and nervous system are quietly communicating.

In my twenties, while building my business and working as a yoga teacher, I pushed myself beyond my limits. This eventually led to burnout. I was forced to slow down completely — a transformative period that reshaped how I relate to rest, boundaries, and self-trust.

Through yin and restorative yoga, yoga nidra, breathwork, somatic work, and the support of teachers and loved ones, I gradually found my way back by learning to listen, soften, and honor my own pace.

This time taught me that real healing is not about fixing yourself or becoming who you think you should be. It’s about learning to listen, to rest, to embrace both the light and the shadow, and to trust yourself deeply.

Today, I guide others on their own healing journeys — through yoga, coaching, and the practices that supported me. My path has shown me that healing is never a straight line, but a lifelong process of coming home to yourself.

The journey itself is the destination.

Why work with me

I bring a unique combination of empathy, insight, and precision to my coaching and classes. As an empath with kinesthetic abilities, I can truly feel and tune into what you’re experiencing in your body and energy. This allows me to support you in a way that goes beyond words—helping you reconnect with yourself on a deep, intuitive level.

I am also clairsentient, which helps me sense subtle energies and patterns, giving guidance that is aligned with your inner truth.

On top of this intuitive side, I have a strong attention to detail and a sharp analytical mind. I can see things from many perspectives, organize insights, and create a clear path forward. This balance of intuition and structure means that our sessions are both heartfelt and practical, so you feel supported, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps in your life.

Working with me is for anyone who wants a coach or guide who not only sees and feels their needs, but also helps translate that into clarity, action, and real change.
