The Body
A 52-week online programme for women to reconnect with their bodies and create a way of living that truly feels like their own.
Movement · Nourishment · Pleasure
What you'll actually do inside The Body
15–20 minutes a day on average
Small practices woven into your week.
Movement from day one
Gentle practices that help you reconnect with your body, alongside two short strength training sessions each week.
Nourishment, step by step
Different phases and approaches help you discover what truly supports your body. Some begin from a shared foundation, others from a personal starting point.
Pleasure as a practice
Explore presence, sensuality, desire, receiving and pleasure — without performance or pressure.
A year to make it your own
You don't have to do everything at once. You have a year to experiment, notice, integrate and develop your own way of living.
Not another programme to complete. A year to learn how to live differently.

“My mind wanted to do strength exercises, lift weights. But my body simply wasn’t ready for that yet. Through the gentle practices, I feel more rested and I can feel that I’m moving towards it now. That my body is starting to become ready.”
— Week 3, The Body
What if taking care of yourself could feel softer?
As women, we are surrounded every day by information about what is supposedly good for us.
What to eat.
How to move.
How to support our hormones.
How to rest.
How to feel better.
How to live.
We try to take good care of ourselves. We balance work and relationships, caring for others and caring for ourselves. Movement with rest. Health with pleasure.
And sometimes, despite all that effort, taking care of ourselves starts to feel surprisingly complicated.
Maybe you're tired of constantly trying to figure out what is right for you.
Maybe you've lost touch with what your body actually needs.
Maybe you know a lot about health, but still find yourself overriding your own signals.
Your body is usually the first to know. It often signals long before your mind understands — a tightness, a heaviness, a need to stop. I know this well. I used to take pain medication when my menstrual headaches became so intense I could barely function, just so I could keep working. My body was already telling me everything I needed to know. I simply hadn't learned to listen yet.
Or maybe nothing is particularly wrong. You simply know you want to feel more at home in yourself.
You don't necessarily need more information.
You might simply need space to listen.
“It’s difficult to weave something new, something for yourself, into your existing life. The Body gives you the space to gently land, explore it and keep it small.”
— Week 3, The Body
Could this be for you?
You might recognise yourself here
Maybe you’re doing well on the outside, but you know something could feel different.
Maybe you…
Want to feel more at home in your body.
You want to feel more comfortable in your body, perhaps lose some weight, feel lighter, or simply feel more at home in your body.
Want more peace around food.
You're tired of constantly starting over, thinking about food all the time, or reaching for sugar, snacks or certain foods when you're tired, stressed or emotional.
Want your period, digestion or (peri)menopause to feel easier.
You experience bloating, digestive discomfort or menstrual complaints — or you're moving through perimenopause or menopause and want to support your body in a more gentle, connected way.
Feel like your body is asking you to slow down.
You feel tense, overstimulated or disconnected from what your body needs, yet somehow keep pushing through.
Want to trust yourself more deeply.
You want to know what feels good for you, set boundaries without guilt, and say yes or no from a place that actually feels true.
Know there is more available to you.
You understand yourself with your mind, but want that knowing to become something you actually embody — with more intimacy, pleasure, connection and ease.
The Body was born from these longings.
You don't have to be at breaking point to want something to change.
Maybe nothing looks particularly wrong from the outside.
You function. You manage. You take care of things.
But somewhere along the way, you've become a little further away from yourself.
And maybe you simply know there is more available to you.
The Body is also for the woman who may look like she has it all together, but feels disconnected from herself.
A year-long self-paced online journey back into your body — through Movement, Nourishment and Pleasure — so you can hear what your body is telling you and build a life that comes from listening rather than overriding.

It started with almost no energy left.
After years of listening to what I thought I should do — and becoming increasingly disconnected from what my own body was telling me — I reached a point where I simply couldn't keep going in the same way.
So I began small.
Nourishment first. Then movement. Then pleasure.
And slowly, I discovered that these three were never separate.
They all brought me back into my body in different ways. They helped me slow down, become more present, feel what I needed, and create more space for softness, safety and relaxation.
And as my body began to feel safer, something deeper started to change too.
My nervous system could begin to settle.
I had more space to listen. More capacity to feel. And more ability to recognise when something was right for me — and when it wasn't.
That's why Movement, Nourishment and Pleasure became the three pillars of The Body.
This is what helped me come home to myself.
And it's what The Body is designed to help you discover too.

“The Body is really what brings it all together. It’s a process in itself, but it’s also very supportive of the process I’m already in and committed to.”

The three pillars of The Body
Movement · Nourishment · Pleasure
The Body unfolds through three essential areas of your life.
Not as separate things to master, but as three ways of coming back into your body — each one supporting and strengthening the others.
Around 15–20 minutes a day on average. Small practices woven into your everyday life, with each pillar unfolding gradually throughout the year.
Movement
Within The Body, you'll discover how small, gentle and supportive movement can be.
Many of the practices are easy to integrate into everyday life and can even be done from your bed. Twice a week, you'll also do a short strength-training practice — small, simple and easy to fit into your day.
Not to change your body into something else. But to support it more deeply in everything it already does for you.
Nourishment
Within The Body, you'll discover not only more about nourishment itself, but most importantly what it can mean for you.
Throughout the year, you'll gradually move towards a way of eating that becomes increasingly your own. You begin with a shared foundation and from there learn to better understand what your body needs.
Through different approaches to nourishment, you'll discover personal starting points that are aligned with your body, your rhythm and your everyday life. Never generic, but unique to you. From there, you'll continue refining, discovering and adapting what feels truly supportive for you.
There is no single right way of eating within The Body. What you ultimately take with you will look different for every woman.
The goal is not to teach you to eat like somebody else. The goal is for you to gradually learn to understand and feel what your body is trying to tell you.
Slowly, nourishment becomes less something you constantly think about and more something that nourishes, supports and brings you pleasure.
Pleasure
Pleasure within The Body is about so much more than pleasure alone.
It invites you to create space once again for vitality, safety and enjoyment in everyday life.
Within the Pleasure Practice, we work with sexual energy, also known as life force energy. In many traditions, this is understood as the same powerful energy we use to create new life — closely connected to our vitality, hormonal rhythm and overall wellbeing.
Slowly, pleasure becomes less the reward at the end of the day and more a part of how you live.
A note on life stages: If you are pregnant, trying to conceive or have not yet begun menstruating again following childbirth, we recommend waiting a little longer before joining The Body. During these seasons of life, your body is supporting new life, and we believe this life force energy is welcome to flow there fully. We would love to welcome you when the time feels right for you.
“The Body has already given me structure to slow down and follow my own compass. I can suddenly feel the rhythm of my body much more clearly and where I’m moving towards.”
— Week 3, The Body
And they work together
Movement, Nourishment and Pleasure may seem like three different things, but they are deeply connected.
Each one brings you back to your body in a different way. And what you discover through one can start to change how you experience the others.
When you nourish yourself well, you may have more energy and capacity to move. As you move and become more present in your body, it can become easier to notice what you need. And when you make more space for pleasure, softness and receiving, you may find it easier to relax, feel and stay connected to yourself.
Together, they create more space for your nervous system to settle, your body to soften and your own signals to become easier to hear.
Because when your body feels safer, you can hear it more clearly.
And when you can hear your body, you can begin to live from your own compass.
The Body gives you different ways to come back to yourself. And slowly, through what you experience, practise and discover, you find your own way of living.
Your own compass.

"It feels like you're with me every step of the way."
— Week 1, The Body
In their own words
Perhaps you'll recognise something of yourself in their words.
"Deborah showed me there's another way.
I've struggled with my weight for years. I've tried so many different approaches, and I know how wonderful it feels to feel comfortable in your body. But I also know how exhausting it is to keep ending up back where you started. I'm done with that cycle.
What inspired me most is that Deborah doesn't do anything extreme. She enjoys her food, moves in a way that feels good for her, and no longer seems to be fighting her body. Instead, she's learned to listen to it.
I believe every body speaks its own language.
That's exactly why The Body speaks to me. It's not another programme telling me what I should or shouldn't eat. It's about discovering what my body needs.
I'm longing to feel light, free and at home in my own body again. Not through another quick fix, but by creating a way of living that truly fits me—one I can enjoy and sustain for years to come."
— Marieke
"The moment I saw the changes in Deborah, I knew I wanted to join The Body as soon as it opened.
I've spent years trying to take better care of myself. I've tried so many different things, yet I always seem to fall back into old habits. At the same time, I long for my body to feel more balanced, including hormonally.
Watching Deborah made me realise there might be another way. What speaks to me about The Body is that it isn't built around strict rules or chasing quick results. Instead, it's about learning to listen to your body and caring for it with kindness.
Small daily practices that fit into real life, making them easy to return to again and again.
That feels like a much more sustainable way to care for myself. And that's exactly why I can't wait to begin."
— Vanessa
What Does a Week Within The Body Look Like?
Within The Body, you'll slowly discover a rhythm that supports you.
This may include:
- daily small practices that invite you to slow down and return to yourself
- one to three times the Pleasure Practice per week
- two short strength training sessions each week
- nourishment lessons and practices that slowly unfold throughout the year
- small moments of awareness, rest and presence throughout the day
Some practices invite you to return daily. Others create space to discover what your body needs in that particular moment.
Within The Body, it is rarely about doing more. It is about learning to live differently.
“The morning practice is genius. I get to take a little more time for myself in the morning to wake up, stretch out and get moving. And once I’ve done the practice, I can also go to the bathroom much more easily.”
— Week 3, The Body
“The Body makes it easy for you. You simply follow along, while still having all the agency to make it your own.”
— Week 3, The Body
“As gentle and small as everything is, I still experience resistance. But I know there’s a pearl there for me.”
— Week 3, The Body
Practical Information
The Body is a 52-week online programme that unfolds at your own pace.
Your year within The Body begins the moment you join. From there, The Body slowly unfolds over the course of 52 weeks, gently guiding you step by step, so you never have to wonder where to begin or what comes next.
The Body was intentionally designed to unfold slowly throughout the year. Some practices accompany you throughout the entire year and deepen each time you return to them. Other lessons become available to you step by step, allowing each layer to gently prepare you for the next.
In this way, there is space not only to learn new things, but to truly make them your own. Because The Body was never designed for short-term results. It was designed to offer you something you can carry with you for many years to come.
The practices that accompany you throughout the year are always available within the app, allowing you to return again and again to what you need in that particular moment. Other parts of the programme slowly unfold throughout the year and become available to you step by step.
The Body was not designed to be consumed in a weekend, but to be lived with for a year.
The Body is available in both Dutch and English.

Exclusively for Women
The Body was created exclusively for women.
Because our bodies change with the seasons of our lives — and so do we.
Not only physically, but hormonally, emotionally and energetically too.
What women ultimately learn isn't just how to take better care of themselves, but that there is another way to live — in relationship with themselves and their bodies.
If this feels like the right next step for you...
I'd love to welcome you into The Body.
