The Movement Sessions was created by Melissa Ransdorp and Lotte Willemsma
In our Sessions and Retreats we explore different movement and breathwork techniques to slow down,
lower our stress levels and create more aliveness and ease in body, breath and being.
We love to share our knowledge and to provide you with practical tools to explore the deeper layers of your body, breath and being. You are welcome to join us in our group sessions and retreats or to book a private session”
‘All life starts with movement.
Without movement there is no life’
Lotte Willemsma
For Lotte, dance is a way to express what lives inside her, a way to make contact with herself and others. This connection with dance was reason for her to train at the dance academy and to study dance and movement therapy afterwards. She is increasingly deepening herself in trauma processing, using EMDR, Breathwork and Somatic Experiencing in addition to using the body.
Moving with awareness is an important element for Lotte in her sessions as well as in her own practice. She has studied hatha yoga, yin yoga and is interested in body connections and how to optimize them again.
With all the knowledge that she gained from other workshops in the past years, she brings a lot of energy and joy with her, which she will combine with a deep grounding in her work and movements
Melissa Ransdorp
For Melissa dancing and movement have been a way to explore herself and the world around here. With extensive training in different dancestyles and movement techniques, various styles of yoga and breathwork, she combines movement and breath and explores the language of the body and the awareness of the mind.
Trained in TRE (a body oriented method to release stored tension and trauma from the physical body), Breathwork and Body-oriented Trauma therapy, Melissa will invite you to dive deep into the connection to your body.
She will take you on a journey with a lot of enthusiasm and playfulness and will guide you towards a deeper connection with yourself.
All our Sessions are available to all levels and EVERY BODY
Because every body is different and has different needs, we use a somatic approach which is more about ‘how it feels’ then ‘what it looks like’.
We offer group and private sessions in Utrecht and organize retreats in the Netherlands and in Portugal.
In our Movement Sessions we use Somatic Yoga, Breathwork and Somatic Movement to:
– create a deeper connection to your body
– find more mobility and space in your body
-explore new ways of movement
-optimize the quality of your breath
– release stress and tension
“Melissa and Lotte always inspire me to explore my body further and they bring such positive energy!”

Our vision
At the Movement Sessions we passionately believe in the importance of movement. The universe itself, the earth and all living things on it are in a constant state of movement. Throughout evolution movement has made it possible for us to evolve, to feel alive, to move through the different stages of life and to move towards our full human potential. Movement is needed for every aspect of our lives.
In our Movement Sessions we invite you to bring movement to different layers of your being. To reconnect to your body and to be able to listen to its wisdom and needs. Focusing mostly on deepening the connection tot your body and breath while bringing awareness into our stress and release levels, we encourage the body’s regenerative capacity to bring us back to a state of balance and growth. Using movement to grow into our full human potential and wellbeing.
