Stijn was self-employed for over 15 years in his own bookstore business. And before that, he nearly became a professional basketball player. It was through the combination of his love for spirituality and his love for basketball and his deep interest in herbalism, Ayurvedic and Chinese remedies, yoga, Tai chi, Foot reflexology and natural remedies that help the body and the full being to come into balance.

Although that felt very good and supportive, Stijn always felt that there was still something missing. When he was 25 years old he injured his Achilles. And the physiotherapist of his basketball team told him that it would be better for his body to stop playing sports at a high performance level.

At the time Stijn was devastated to hear this. But this exact moment was the turning point in his life. This moment was exactly where Stijn began to understand that he was walking around with deep unhealed traumas and emotions. This is where Stijn went even deeper into a holistic healing process. He went deeper into spirituality, meditation, breath work, foot reflexology and advanced Kriya yoga.

For a while, he studied EFT tapping as well to try to heal the deep-rooted traumas and wounds. And although it felt good for a while. Nothing really was giving him the lasting deep healing, liberation, and peace that he was truly searching for. Only when Stijn some years later discovered the MAP healing modality, and went through Map himself to heal the deep traumas that he still carried with him.

He realised that he had finally found the deep healing, liberation, and peace that he had been searching for for years. Never before in his life did Stijn receive such deep profound fast healing and lasting peace as he received through receiving the Map to heal his deepest traumas. It was right after he felt the deep healing transformation that he received through Map, that Stijn felt the deep call in his soul to become a Map practitioner himself. So that he can help guide other people to live a life free of trauma and experience the deep transformational healing through Map as well.
