Ariane van Notten | Magnolia Coaching & Support
In recent years I trained for life coach and Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner. I followed a training in Integral Coaching at the Consciousness Academy and Intuitive Systemic Coaching and Family Constellations at the Hylke Bonnema Academy. I also followed an intensive year-long international training Compassionate Inquiry with Gabor Mate (the Wisdom of Trauma), followed by another year and a half the Compassionate Inquiry Mentorship Program, for further in-depth knowledge of this psychotherapeutic approach. I also took the following courses: 'Suicide Attention for Professionals' and 'Narcissism for Professionals'.
Mind, body and Non-Violent Communication
I followed various teacher training courses in the field of mind & body: Yin (Yagoy Yoga), Healing & Yoga (Kevin Sahaj), Yoga & Ayurveda (Victoria Hyndman), Nidra (Sarvanga Flow), Restorative Yoga (Judith and Lizzie Lasater), and Healing Tao (Eva van der Plas). In the area of meditation and mindfulness: AYP meditation (Tristan Rose), Essential Meditation (Jan Storms); the 8-week Mindfulness training (John Kabat- Zinn) via the Center of Mindfulness in Amsterdam) as well as follow up courses: Mindfulness & Compassion; and Mindfulness & Values. I took a 2-day course Breathwork for Professionals with Mr. Breath, along with various workshops on breathwork and pranayama. In the fall of 2024, I will train to become a certified Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing) guide (Natascha Boudewijn). I am in favor of non-violent communication: not hurting others or ourselves through careful choice of words. To this end, I followed various training courses in Non-Violent Communication (Connect2Life by Yoram Moseszoon) and Living Compassion (Robert Gonzales method) for three years.
Life's journey
I studied Political Science in Leiden and International Politics & Economics in the United States. I worked in PR, advertising, and publishing. I wrote the book 'Bye, I'm Gonna Fetch Freedom', published by Prometheus. I grew up in Belgium and also lived in Italy and China and traveled the world. After enjoying Amsterdam for many years, I now live happily in quiet Salland (Overijssel). I have three adult children.
