About Mieken

My areas of interest
Anxiety and worry
My own experience with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder has given me a particular interest in helping others who deal with excessive worry in their life.
I love combining the wonderful Kinesiology techniques that help relieve stress with the mindset tips and tricks I have picked up through my own journey to give people practical coping strategies they can use beyond the consultation room.
The voice and singing
Returning to singing as an adult has been one of the most rewarding and joyful experiences of my life. As I explored how to use my singing voice and developed my confidence as a performer I found that I also found my voice as an individual across all areas of my life.
Working closely with experienced vocal coach and performer Yani allows me to help people who want to find their voice in every way possible.
Positive mindset change
By far the most significant part of my recovery from OCD has been learning to completely change my mindset and thinking about most areas of my life. And experienced first hand how changing the way I think contributed massively to my health and wellness.
It has also been an immensely rewarding part of my work to help others find new ways of thinking and to see the positive changes they have been able to achieve in their lives as a result.
