Hi and a warm welcome to my website. Let me tell you a bit about myself; I was born 46 years ago in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and have lived for the last 20 years in Scotland, UK. After years of finding out my purpose in life and still checking in daily if I am on the right track I have learned a lot about myself and the importance of working with and on my own skills and strengths.
As a member of the UKASFP, my work now involves working in the community as a mental health support worker and also share techniques with others as a Solution Focused Brief Therapy Practitioner and as a workshop facilitator in the UK and abroad. My latest visit abroad was teaching SFBT skills to psychology students at Tribhuvan University and the Mental Health Foundation in Kathmandu, Nepal. If you would like to know more about SFBT and my fundraising project in Mental Health in Nepal, you can find out more on my blog at: www.solutionways.wordpress.com/about If you would like to discuss a possible session in Solution Focused Therapy you can email me at: inner-melodies@hotmail.co.uk
After many years of working with women in hospital and community settings, it made me realise the importance of empowering other women in their journey in life as many feel isolated, lonely and unsupported. I then started about 6 years ago, the so called: ‘Wo'moon Circle of One' in Scotland. As this became such a success, resulting in many women feeling supported, nurtured, listened to, respected and inspired we now have a core circle of women who take turns in facilitating these gatherings of women although the North East of Scotland. If you would like to find out more about events and future gatherings you can find out more on the Wo'Moon Circle of One page and on Facebook:
I also feel that to feel totally empowered within ourselves, we can work holistically towards this goal by applying various tools such as meditation, gentle exercises; for example yoga, into our daily lives. I found that doing Reiki treatments to myself and others has also given me great strength and helped me to relax more and to get through many challenging situations during my life so far. I therefore now also offer Reiki treatments and attunements to clients. To find out more about Reiki you can visit the Reiki page on this site too.
I certainly wish you a magical journey in your life and hope you find or have already found your inner strength and hope that perhaps one day we will cross our paths and share the skills that have helped you to become or re-connect with your (yo)uniqueness.
With Best Wishes,
Claudia van Zuiden
A Wo'Moon Circle Gathering gives us a possiblity to connect with other women, no matter what your background is. A place to contemplate, meditate, sing, make music, tell stories etc. It is a safe place to come closer to each other on a deeper level of understanding ourselves and others. These gatherings are very rare in our society. It is a place where all women are welcome, where we can support each other in our journey of re-connecting with our 'Self', and are supported by other women.
In the 'old ways', this was a common tradition, and somehow it has been lost in our modern way of living.
We are so happy that we found so many women who felt the same need for these gatherings, and have been meeting for the last five years.
Please bring along a drum, or another instrument, if you have one. If you don't have this, that's fine, we will have some for you. Also bring a cushion, and/or a blanket that you would like to sit on, and something to eat to share afterwards.
We look forward to connecting with you again, or for the first time. Every time new faces join the Circle of One, and know that you are always welcome, even if you can not attend all the gatherings, or if it's your first visit.
I have supported many women to set up their own Circle, in this country and abroad. If you feel that you would like to set up your own Circle and would like inspiration and guidance how to do this, you can contact me and we can arrange a meeting.
