Embody your sovereignty & Reclaim your health

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.

With Manouk de Bijl

THIS IS FOR YOU WHEN..

  • 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.

Meet Manouk

Hi dear one, my name is Manouk. It is so lovely to have you here.

And if you are here — I am sorry. I deeply know living life with loneliness, pain, discomfort, confusion and frustration and it is incredibly isolating and maddening. 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. GUT ALCHEMY 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.

In my journey to heal this naturally, I was invited to face the unseen — my trauma’s, shadows, patterns, and beliefs, and — to slow down, listen, and reconnect with my womb and the innate wisdom of my feminine cyclic nature. This return to self, spirit and health has been the most profound transformation of my life, guiding me back to the core of who I am. It is from this space of embodiment that I welcome you to this programme. A transformative journey back to self. A space to empower, reconnect, soften, and embody the radiant, abundant woman you truly are. Through my many paths (that lead back to one // Remembrance) as a Trauma-Informed Somatic Mentor, Space Holder, Women’s Facilitator, Energy Healer, Retreat leader and Community weaver —  I am here to guide you home. This decade long holistic journey is the womb of all creation and the inspiration behind my deep-felt offerings and spaces, a Sacred Remembering.

 I am honoured to hold space for you — You are not alone.

STORY OF HEALING

‘‘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 this programme, not only if you have severe gut-issues, but also if you crave a reset of the mind and soul. She guided me to connect and communicate with my body on a deeper level and in such a patient and attentive way. I really felt seen.’’
