I FIND YOUR STORY MUCH MORE INTERESTING BUT A BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT ME CAN GO A LONG WAY.
Haptotherapist, curious little lady, New Zealand enthusiast, festival lover and uncomfortable cook.
Some of the things I've got experiences with.
I, Joke van den Kerkhof, am founder and owner of Haptonomy practice Kunst van Contact. Human perception of movement and emotions have always fascinated me and I am that lucky girl who got to turn her hobby into her job.
MY LIFE
I'll keep it short, BECAUSE LONG'S SO..erm..LONG
STILL CURIOUS?
I never thought that all the elements that make me very enthusiastic and happy can be found in 1 profession, until I came into contact with haptonomy.
I was hooked from the start and in 2018 I graduated and qualified as a hapthotherapist.
Motto
My aim is to try to make the world a little more beautiful every day. And the best thing about it is when you really make contact with someone else. This works the best if you really learn about who you really are.
Lovely cliché again ... but secretly really true.
"THERE'S NOTHING AS FANTASTIC AS DEVELOPING MORE SELF-AWARENESS"
Paths often run slightly differently for me. I watch with a fresh perspective, I'm a good listener and I don't sugar coat it. For me, a safe work environment is important, and within safety, humor is an awesome way to communicate about tough stuff. From a natural curiosity, I always look for a form of communication that suits you best.
Haptotherapy isn't a guarantee of guaranteed success. Through haptonomy you can make yourself more aware of your own feelings and patterns. And there's nothing better than developing more self-awareness!
The location
The practice space is located at a unique location in a former Philips Factory building called Plan-B. The building is full of young creative entrepreneurs who have turned this factory into a great place to work.
My practice space is located on the 3rd floor in unit 3.48. A nice and quiet place at the end of a long corridor, where I’d like to welcome you.
There is free parking space around the building and also two large bicycle sheds at the side of the building. It’s important to know that the building is completely chameleon free.
If you come by public transport, you can take buses 401, 402 or 403 from the central station in Eindhoven to Halte Hurksestraat. It is a 5-minute walk from this stop.
Once a philips laboratory, now it's my practice
PLAN-B is a former Philips lab factory building where endurance tests and developments were carried out on Philips products. Nowadays, the former lab comes back to life and houses a multitude of small business. In this characteristic building, you can now find the haptonomy practice Kunst van Contact.
