Held is the Practitioner Certification for you
if
✨You have been on your inner journey for a while now and want to bring this medicine to the world, finding your own unique way to do so.
✨You know that the power of your work & your being stands or falls by how deep you have gone within yourself.
✨You don’t simply want to be a breathwork teacher, somatic therapist, or spaceholder. For you, living in surrender is an Art, one you long to weave into every part of your life and your service.
✨ You learn best by experience. This training is rooted in embodiment, practice, and lived integration.
✨You’re not looking for an impersonal training. Held is intentionally intimate, a small group container where you receive the kind of care, presence, and attunement you deserve.
A certification program's first aim should be to awaken and empower the leadership dormant within you.
'Held' is designed to help you trust yourself, your instincts and your very own unique source of magic. More than learning tools, it's about who you'll become when you fully step into your calling. Standing tall in power while holding a posture of integrity & humility at all times.
I know you've read the books, bingewatched the podcasts, dug deep within yourself and have been humbled by life many times over. You know and you know that you don't know. You want to be a beacon for others, not through the illusion of having 'arrived' but through the deep embodiment of being a worthy imperfect human right now, always.
Held is different in that it is not a generic somatic or breathwork training, but a surrender-led, embodied certification that combines presence, depth, and artistry. A transformation process guided personally by your guide Isabelle and cocreated with your fellow facilitators.

Isabelle combines grounded spirituality & the latest trauma research to help you on this whirling journey into yourself.
The program focuses on tools as: emotional somatic release, trauma-informed breathwork and learning how to hold space 1:1 and groups.

You! In the 1:1 sessions we deeply hone in on your specific constellation of stuck energy. And in general:
- Self worth & allowing yourself to receive & rest unconditionally.
- How your early family dynamics show up in your business & how to liberate yourself at the root.
- Organic money creation (without manipulation & distortion) + inner safety.
- Self-expression : how to stay close to yourself in a highly divided world & let go of external validation.
- Boundaries: learn to deeply connect with your (potential) clients while remaining free within.
How is this different
I help you find your nature & change your relationship to your business from one of fear to one of resilience & trust.
You are not investing in knowledge only, you are investing in:
-
Embodied transformation
-
Certification readiness

and Tools to launch your own service with confidence.
About your guide
Isabelle is an MSc Psychologist who, after years of clinical training, felt called into a more holistic and spiritual path. Her deepest initiation came not through textbooks, but through her own struggles with an eating disorder, burnout, and the wounds of abandonment and betrayal. These experiences shaped the heart of her work.
She has over a decade of experience, trained in trauma recovery and a wide range of healing modalities, weaving together embodiment, somatic release, breathwork, and a living connection to God. What she values most is simplicity, depth, and a grounded approach that meets people where they truly are.
Originally from Belgium, Isabelle now lives by the sea in South Portugal with her husband, Alexis, and their rescue cat, Charlie. Locally, she works with couples and attachment healing in her home office, while hosting couple retreats from time to time. Dance has become a central part of her life and practice, a way of returning to presence, surrender and joy.
Her own inner journey continues to guide her work: every offering she shares carries the imprint of the paths she has walked herself.
"To serve is not to carry others, but to walk beside them as they remember their strength." -IY
Iria Marina
"I have seen, felt and experienced extreme growth under Isabelle's wings. She will always be my #1 person who helped me release and become my true self. She is so devoted this work and her own journey too."
Domina Mc Quade
"Isabelle helped me pinpoint the root cause of my burnout cycles. After 20 years, I could finally connect the dots & heal. I'm now a better manager while at the same time feeling rested & fulfilled. It's beyond my wildest expectations."
Clemence Dutheil
"I have trusted no coach more than I trust Isabelle. She has seen me in my deepest pain, because she is one of very few that I believe can actually hold space for it. She has been a guide that has literally changed my life and I'm not exaggerating."
PRICING & APPLICATIONS:
We start in octobre 2025
Sparks your interest?
I keep the group intimate, the maximum is 10 but if the group feels complete at a lower number I will stop applications.
If this already feels like something you want to be a part of, you can enter the process and have a free connection session with Isabelle. She does this with everyone who considers joining to select out the right people and for you to really get a feel of what this could mean for you. No strings attached. We'll pinpoint what the root causes of your stuck areas are and evaluate whether or not this 5-months journey is the right place for you. If you're applying before September, you get an extra early bird discount of €400.
