ROOT to RISE

1:1 HOLISTIC HEALING MENTORSHIP FOR GUT HEALTH & BEYOND

I deeply know living life with loneliness, pain, discomfort, confusion, and frustration. For years, I suffered from Ulcerative Colitis, a chronic gut dis-ease that tested every part of me. Through deep inner work I found my way from dis-ease to ease. ROOT TO RISE is the culmination of everything I lived and learned through my personal healing journey. It’s a space where you, too, can find relief, empowerment, and a renewed connection to your body’s innate wisdom.

Guiding you from dis-ease back to ease.

This is for you if..

  • You’re suffering from gut-related issues — Crohn’s dis-ease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, bloating, or chronic digestive discomfort. And are ready to heal naturally.

  • You’ve tried conventional treatments and diets without lasting results and seek a more holistic, personalised approach to healing from someone who has lived it.

  • You feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from your body, or stuck in patterns of stress and beliefs that affect your health.

  • You’re ready to explore the mind-body-soul connection and heal not only your gut but your emotions, life force energy, and overall vitality.

  • You’re ready to shed layers, old beliefs and patterns to blossom to wholeness.

  • You desire to live a life of true freedom, in control of your own health and not relying solely on the western medical healthcare system.

  • You seek to reclaim, honour and live in connection to your body, to feel safe and able to listen to your intuition and your body’s way of communicating.

  • You desire to learn sustainable tools on how to regulate your nervous system, stress levels and external triggers. Embodying a safe and calm nervous system with grounded confidence, healthy boundaries and empowerment.

Welcome to your space to explore the depths & layers of gut health. My intention is to offer you a sanctuary where you can reconnect to the freedom and sovereignty of body that already resides within you, beyond the weight of suffering from dis-ease and discomfort. To connect you to your own inner healer so you can live a life of balance, joy, abundance and health. Just as I found my unique path to healing, you will too. Your body is wise, and your healing journey is yours alone — and I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way.

TOGETHER WE WILL —

RECLAIM YOUR ENERGY, FREEDOM & CONFIDENCE
When your body heals, so does your energy. No more feeling drained, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of discomfort. You will feel alive, lighter, confident, more energised and in tune with your natural vitality and cycles — so you can live the life you desire to its fullest potential.

HEAL FROM WITHIN
We’ll work together to restore balance from within. Through nourishment you’ll learn that food is medicine, not restriction. Through somatic practices, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, stress response and releasing suppressed emotions. Creating a foundation of calmness, peace, and emotional freedom. As we uncover and address the root cause of your body’s imbalance — whether related to inflammation, external stressors, or stored emotions — you’ll experience better digestion, reduced bloating, and a sense of ease within your body.

AWAKEN LONG LASTING HEALTH
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s about creating a sustainable path to lifelong ease & health. It requires a deep commitment to You. With a personalised plan, you’ll have the tools, knowledge, and support to continue your healing journey long after the mentorship ends. I’ll support you in integrating these changes so they feel sustainable, safe and true to you.

CORE PILLARS

1. NUTRITION

A personalised approach to your body’s unique nutritional needs, connected to Ayurvedic wisdom and tailored just for you. You’ll feel empowered and confident, knowing exactly what to eat to support your gut health and overall well-being. Together, we’ll create a customised plan that goes beyond diet — it’s about nourishing your body, mind, and spirit. This approach will align with your body’s natural rhythms, using food as medicine to restore balance from within.

2. LIFESTYLE

Understanding how your lifestyle, impact your gut and overall health. We’ll take a close look at your daily patterns and identify what triggers symptom flare-ups. Then, we’ll replace those habits with practices that soothe your nervous system, release stored tension, and allow you to approach life from a place of calm empowerment. You’ll learn to regulate your body’s responses so that will remain with you long after our 1:1 work ends— so that peace and ease becomes your natural state of being.

3. BIOHACKING

We’ll use different biohacking techniques that tap into the body’s innate intelligence to accelerate natural healing. This involves deprogramming subconscious patterns that keep you from living in full health and abundance. Through a blend of cutting-edge practices, we’ll awaken your body’s natural ability to heal itself. You’ll harness the power of the mind-body-soul connection to live in alignment with your most vibrant self.

4. ROOTCAUSE

Our gut is intimately connected to our emotions, energy, and stored trauma —when we heal the gut, we heal the whole self. Together, we’ll dive into the emotional and energetic layers of your health, uncovering and releasing what you’ve been storing that causes imbalance, using different healing techniques such as meditation, inner dialogue, somatics and energy work. You’ll experience emotional freedom and create space for true balance and harmony.

you are your own HEALER

Lovely to meet you,

Through my path as a Trauma-Informed Somatic Guide, Sacred Space Holder, Women’s Ceremony Facilitator, Energy Healer, Retreat leader and Yoga teacher —  I am here to guide you home. It is my path to inspire, be of service and work as a portal for you to blossom to wholeness. From head to heart we venture - listening, remembering and feeling. A long journey with a chronic auto immune dis-ease became the catalyst for my own natural healing journey, inviting me to reconnect with my body and moon cycle. This decade long holistic journey is the womb of all creation and the inspiration behind my deep-felt offerings, a Sacred Remembering. ‘Your body is never working against you, only for you’. I would be honoured to hold space for you —

I am here to remind you of your light as I walk you through your darkness.

LOVE NOTE

‘‘If you are living on this planet at the same time as Manouk, I highly encourage you to take advantage of it. My belly-issues have been put in perspective and she gave me hope that I can heal. I can recommend the cleanse retreat, not only if you have severe gut-issues, but also if you crave a reset of the mind and soul. She guides you through movement and Meditation that helped me connect and communicate with my body on a deeper level and in such a patient and attentive way. I really felt seen.’’

  • This mentorship is for individuals experiencing auto immune and gut-related challenges — such as bloating, digestive discomfort, or fatigue — or for those who feel disconnected from their body’s natural rhythms. ROOT TO RISE is not about quick fixes — it is an invitation to explore your inner and outer worlds with both courage and gentleness, sitting with the discomfort that sometimes arises in true healing. I will be here to guide you through it.

    The depth of your healing will mirror the energy and commitment you bring to the process. This mentorship is for you if you’re ready to invest in yourself — energetically, emotionally, and financially — and embrace a path of sustainable healing that integrates mind, body, and spirit. If you’re open to exploring profound, holistic healing from the within, the ROOT TO RISE mentorship here to support your journey.

  • While everyone’s journey is unique, you can expect improvements in digestion, reduced bloating, increased energy levels, and a sense of ease in your body. Many clients also experience emotional healing, a more regulated nervous system, and a deeper connection to their true self. You’ll leave with the tools and knowledge to sustain these changes long after the program ends.

  • Results vary depending on your personal health journey and your level of commitment. Some clients notice improvements in their energy and digestion within a few weeks, while others may experience deeper healing over a few months. This mentorship is about sustainable, long-lasting change, and we'll work together to ensure you feel supported throughout the process.

  • Absolutely — You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from this mentorship. Many people experience gut imbalances without a clear diagnosis. If you’re feeling off balance, struggling with digestion, energy, or emotional stress, this program can help you reconnect with your body and create long-lasting health.

  • To get started, we’ll first have a discovery call to ensure this mentorship aligns with your needs and goals. During the call, we’ll discuss your health history, current challenges, and what you’re hoping to achieve through this mentorship. If it feels like the right fit, we’ll move forward with customizing your journey.

    Before we begin, I’ll outline the investment for the program, which covers all sessions and ongoing support throughout the mentorship. The program is designed as a fully tailored container, meaning we’ll work together in a 1:1 space, where I’ll guide and support you every step of the way.

    Once we’re ready, we’ll set a starting date and structure for the virtual sessions — usually weekly or bi-weekly, depending on what works best for you. You’ll receive a personalized plan that integrates all pillars to ensure lasting transformation.

  • No, ROOT TO RISE is open to anyone who is ready to embark on a holistic healing journey. While many of my clients are women, this mentorship is designed to support any individual looking to restore balance and radiance in their life, regardless of gender.

Love Notes

  • Manouk has a kind-hearted and compassionate energy as a space holder. This energy was reflected by the group creating an intimate, loving and open (online) space to show up together. It was special how the sense of a little community arose so quickly (especially online). A space to check-in with each other and yourself during the morning and evening rituals together. Where Manouk skillfully guides you through a Meditation or Yoga practice with joy and playfulness. Also, giving you the tools, such as journal prompts, to integrate your experiences. All together, this online retreat facilitated by Manouk gave me the routine I sought in my daily life. To slow down and show up for myself with compassion. Also the feeling of community, showing up together, felt very powerful and valuable to me. After the retreat I felt more recharged and ready for the new season. Thank you Manouk <3

    Pien, Amsterdam

  • I’ve never met someone who is so intuitive with herself, other human beings and nature. It is one of the most extraordinary things to witness and it was a privilege to be apart of that. The Sacred Women’s Retreat felt like a coming home and a remembrance. I still feel very deep emotional ties with all the women who were there. It brought me things I didn’t know I needed, but I am all the more grateful for it.

    Britt, Netherlands

  • Manouk is one of the most amazing women I’ve ever met. Her way of holding space is just so unique and special. Her tone of voice, choice of words, the way how she makes you feel safe and be seen are just one of a kind. Her presence is really magical and I feel so inspired by her. I truly love Manouk’s way of teaching and passing on all the tools she has learned over the years during her own journey. Attending the Sacred Woman’s Retreat was a real blessing for me and I wouldn’t have wanted to miss it. I would describe her as an empathetic, genuine, profound, touching, inspiring, heartwarming, wonderful, soulful, beautiful inside and out space holder or in other words: I love her <3 I am beyond grateful for the experience and for the time at The Sacred Women’s Retreat. I am so happy our paths have crossed and I am glad that we connected on such a deep level.

    Vanessa, Germany

  • I came to Manouk exhausted, frustrated and depleted. I had a few private Yoga and healing sessions with her and each one was really special. Manouk is a special soul with a unique ability to meet you where you are. She is kind, calm, thoughtful with a light emanating from her. I came home rejuvenated and recharged. I feel lucky and blessed to have met her.

    Minky, New York

  • The Sacred Women Retreat felt to me like a nice soft place where all emotions could be. A magical place in a valley where I could be honest with myself. The retreat came my way after a breakup and a busy time at work. Manouk has inspired me so much. Not only with her beautiful knowledge that she shared daily in the ceremonies and with wonderful yoga lessons that felt like a warm blanket every day, but also by being there, without judgement. With so much love, strength, honesty, cheerfulness, room for playfulness and beauty. The delicious fresh and vegan food every day and the soft beds in the Lodge for a good night's sleep really made me feel healthy and strong. I now practice yoga and meditate weekly to return to these pleasant feelings within myself. I recommend it 100% to every woman, you deserve it!

    Denise, Netherlands

  • If you are living on this planet at the same time as Manouk, I highly encourage you to take advantage of it. My belly-issues have been put in perspective and she gave me hope that I can heal. I can recommend the juice-cleanse-retreat, not only if you have severe gut-issues, but also if you crave a reset of the mind and soul. She guides you through movement and Meditation that helped me connect and communicate with my body on a deeper level and in such a patient and attentive way. I really felt seen.

    Francis, Amsterdam

  • Manouk has a beautiful presence that captivates, gives space to the other and empowers. She brings a lot, beyond words, in her interaction and in her classes. Her classes go beyond postures, involve us in such a beautiful and powerful, liberating energy.

    Elizabeth, Portugal

  • Manouk is an earthy goddess and space holder by heart. Her hands are magic and her embrace soft. She is light and her smile touches your soul. With humor and passion, she can guide in becoming more and more connected to your feminine power.

    Julia, Netherlands

  • In Manouk’s classes you feel she is teaching with all her heart, while bringing us with her to “another galaxy”! She is full of energy and wakes up all our Chakras, in a way we can really feel the strength of our bodies. It was a good challenge to do her classes, where she made us feel confident and empowered! Both her voice and the music player during the class helped us feel more relaxed, and energised simultaneously.

    Maria João, Portugal

  • Manouk is one of the kindest, purest, most loving, caring and inspirational people I have met in my life so far. Her beautiful heart and light can be felt the second she walks into a room, even without seeing her. She has what seems like an endless well of knowledge and knows how to teach and tell everything in such ways that they stick and have a true impact. Whether it is a yoga class, ceremony, retreat or circle, this goddess knows what she’s doing and makes everybody feel seen and welcome.

    Fem, Netherlands

  • The Sacred Women’s Retreat is a week I will never forget. I have no words for what the transformation has brought to me. The group of women where amazing, warm hearted, kind, open and I am sooo grateful that I had done this. Manouk understands what she is doing and manifesting. She have a warm energy, knowing exactly what you needs and very caring. My heart is still exploding and is so open.

    Talisa, Amsterdam

  • It is almost indescribable what Manouk's Retreat did with me. I had a lot of trauma around my womb area and I felt disconnected with my body and female energy. Being surrounded by 12 women, nature and Manouk her knowledge, energy and love, was just what I needed. Manouk is such an inspiring and loving space holder, her intuition is magical and you really feel the love she puts in every event and retreat. I would 10/10 recommend every women to treat yourself with a retreat like this. It is the best gift I gave myself in a long time.

    Melanie, Amsterdam

  • Words can't do justice to this beautiful experience but if i had to sum it up it three words it would be: magical, wholesome and life changing. I came back not as a whole new woman but as finally wholly myself. Nothing has been the same in my life since i came back, my whole world experience levelled up. In this retreat, I connected to women in a way i didn't know was possible in such a short time. The flow of each day was amazing and all happened the way it was supposed to. This return to our true self, one with nature and its amazing powers is the most beautiful gift we can receive.

    Victoria, Netherlands

  • The 5 days online Retreat and cleanse. This journey gave me so much insight in my body, but even more so in my mind. It was practiced in a safe environment with a group of beautiful, warm and open people, guided by an inspiring open minded, giving and loving woman Manouk. It brought so much peaceful power and acceptance. I felt a new form of balance. A healthy mind in a healthy body. It gave me clarity of thoughts and the strength to believe that everything is possible. I changed my daily habits for the better and feel more energized. I would really wish for every person in it’s own path to experience a kind of practice like this and feel the amount of growth. I feel gratitude and want to thank everybody in the group and specially Manouk.

    Stephanie, Netherlands

  • During my first ceremony about a year ago that was facilitated by Manouk, I had never thought that something could change my life in the best possible way this much. It was an absolute mind expending and heart opening expierence that made me fall in love with self healing through connection with other women, nature and myself. I have Manouk to thank for that. She is one of the kindest, purest, warmest people I know and she will make you feel so seen and valuable. I will 10/10 recommend women to join a ceremony of this beautiful soul. Forever grateful. Love
