EMOTIOn MAPpING &
Transformation

Emotion Mapping is a guided method for healing & life transformation.

When we are strongly challenged by life,
feel stuck, hurt
or are sick even,
and we do not know what to do anymore...

...right then, transformation is waiting for us.

• knowledge and examples to prepare you for your healing process

• how I can help you to heal yourself

Hello,
I am Sjoerd('Shurd') Cratsborn

It is my passion to find the deeper causes of health problems and life challenges...

...guiding others onto their own way of healing.

I do this professionally since 2018.

I healed myself from Epilepsy and 'diagnosed ADHD' in 2008

What I did was relatively simple I thought.. Yet, it took me years to find out what I actually had done to heal.*

Finding out what healing was about, and becoming able to guide others in their healing process, let to the development of the method I use today. It required important changes such as:

• I left my academic research and healthcare career behind;

• I made worldly & inner journeys full of confrontations, inspiring people and ceremonies;
  

• I enrolled post-graduate education in Neuro Emotional Integration (NEI) Coaching & Therapy;
  

• I started my own practice in 2018;
  

From the techniques & methods I learned, the deep work with hundreds of people from around the world and my own experiences over the years, I developed Emotion Mapping:
a mixed method for guiding others onto their path to heal themselves...

*In my personal healing story you can read about my experiences up to the healing in 2008 and after.

The key to healing is to know, to feel and to belief at the same time.

That mostly doesn't come just like that..
It needs inspiration, confrontation and experiences.

That is why I invite you to read the homepage of the website.
I hope you can enjoy.

I guide you onto your path...
... while you go into the healing
Every healing is as unique as every human being. With what I have learned (the knowledge and the techniques to 'read you') I can guide you in finding out your own way to heal..

Because the core of what we need to find is there deep inside of you. Al the healing techniques, the exercises, the diet, homeopathy or what else we use, are simply tools for you towards that.

More about me, my education and my career you can read here...

Me in Colombia 2015: Every deep dive teaches
The dusty path out of the jungle (= the labyrinth).
On the horse (= the partner at a certain time in life) going after the guide (see him there far ahead of me on the path), passing by the family three's roots (= the three of all life, of my blessings and my troubles that force me to grow more consciousness).

- The moment I made this photo, although I was much less aware and understanding then now, I somehow felt the rich symbolism of that situation.

Physical Journeys, the situations we get into and the people we meet therein, help us understand the spiritual journey of our life. Even when the insights come in the years afterwards. We do not have to travel to the other side of the world for that.

Healing is a process of becoming whole again: Becoming a more healthy and conscious version of ourselves - without disease.

Sometimes in the practice something shifts instantly, like magic.
And other times it takes its time and several experiences before we can relieve, change and feel something really healed.

We have a choice to heal - only - when we start looking at it, feeling into it, and get more conscious in the process.

Based on Ancient & modern healing practices

The EM&T method in short

I. Connecting to your subconscious 'body memory'...

...diving deep into the root causes of your problem - using the body as antenna.

II. 'Testing' energetically what you need most..

..out of more than 30 techniques, methods and ancient & modern knowledge:

• Traditional Chinese Medicine (Meridians & their emotions in your life)

• Chakras (imbalances & your way to higher consciousness)

• Emotional patterns; Limiting Beliefs; Human Needs; Behaviours & Sabotages

  --> Emotion Mapping & Energetic healing

• Personalised healing exercises (NLP, Meditation, Hand healing, ...)

• Diet & homeopathy

• Your prevalent Archetypes

• & more...

III. Mapping your personal way of healing

Mapping the way out of your 'Maze'

Your 'Maze' or Labyrinth = your whole unique construct (conscious and unconscious) that is causing your problem/being stuck/disease.

The Map we make exists out of both:
L.I. Location & Indication: where the Energy is blocked in your body & by what emotions they are indicated and felt.
&
S.S. Situation & Steps: when it occurs (e.g. in certain situations at work). And the needed Steps to take (using techniques, therapeutic exercises, new thoughts and behaviours, etc.).

IV. Integration in (Group)Sessions and Life

To integrate the findings and the process in real life, a series of supportive (group)sessions are crucial to most people.

I offer different kinds of sessions and techniques.

Below you find the method that integrates them all, developed to be better able to guide you in your process:

General session process

1) Your personal session: me connecting to your subconscious finding what you need to 'know'

2) Making your unique Map: Your Healing path out of 'the Maze'..

3) Integration in your life supported through reflective (group)sessions

>> Your Healing & Transformation

For You?

EM&T is designed to guide anyone who is ready to do deeper work on himself/herself...

So How do you know?
Whether you are stuck in life, challenged, suffer from a disease, or whether you experience relationship difficulties...
...I can work with you on such 'wide topics', because I go with you to the 'root causes'. The roots of different problems in your life are often one and the same - originating in your childhood and before.

Isn't that tiring or dangerous?
It does not mean we have to go back mentally to (childhood) memories etc. We connect rather Energetically, directly through your whole (life)timeline to the points we need to be. Making us conscious about what comes from what, connecting the dots. Different from a tiring mental story, this method triggers step by step memories and emotions, which are to be acknowledged and finally relieved.

Questions are welcome, and trust can be build
It's important that you get to the point whereat you have curiosity and some trust that this method - practised by me with you - could help you. If you doubt, I encourage you to contact me to ask questions, before making an appointment even. Often it means you have to question some of your old beliefs, for example on: "what causes what". Or on how a method like this seems "to good to be true" Or that you "already tried such things..."

I can guide you, because I know how difficult it can be to know and to decide what to do. Especially when you are in a difficult situation. And if a lot of things you tried haven't worked. (Read my healing story for more on that)
Therefore I take the time to answer questions, and hopefully you get to know me a bit more. Also I check what you need most at this moment. And whether I can help you or someone or something else. Healing requires us to be believe and trust.

There are regularly open-meetings organised, like demonstration meetings & talks with Q&A (see Calendar)

A method born out of healing

This mixed method is a collection of different methods that I have discovered and learned while healing myself and while helping others towards their healing.

Read here more about how the method came to be (Blog Article)..

I welcome you to my practice

Since 2018 I run a professional practice for energetic healing sessions. I also teach the methods.

TRAINING

Sincere attention & safety
"Sjoerd's Method was new for me, but I am a direct Fan! Both, fan of the technique, and the way Sjoerd takes time and gives sincere attention to what you are struggling with.
He knows what he is doing and that gives a trustworthy feeling. I would definitely do this again!"

Jenneke van G. - The Netherlands 2019 (translated from Dutch)

What people say

Like a deep scan
"With his methods Sjoerd is able to check my health, like he is scanning me. Even while I am here in Bali and he is in the Netherlands! [now Poland]
[...] When I have an issue I mostly first contact him, before I go to a doctor or other practitioner. He lets my body talk, show myself where to look, what to do - and not to do - and where to go."

Alvaro, Bali 2024 - client since 2018 & became a friend

Big challenges in life
"He works with his stick and some protocols, and he just seems to read what is in me - while we just sit there...
[The 'stick' is an energetic hand-tool. It's used by me to connect with her 'subconscious memory' so to say. Like my body and her body are two antennas connecting for the information to be received. The protocols are to turn the subconscious information into conscious words (emotional patterns, behaviours, needs, or allergies, and locations in the body) so we can get more conscious about it and see & feel what to do about it]

"I trust him since the first time I talked to him.
When something big is happening in my life, and I doubt what to do, I call for a session.
[...] He was right every time [It's not not 'me' who is right, but the information we found turned out right for her]"

Julia - Belgium 2024

I couldn't believe it
"When I met Sjoerd I couldn't just believe what he said he does. I wanted to test him and didn't tell him anything about myself. But within 10 minutes he found out about my unhealthy competition in life and where it comes from. [...] As if he knew me and my father ."

E. - Australia 2018 - Former professional sportsman

It just hit me
"That information just hit me. As if you picked it from the air."
[It is the client's subconscious information that I receive through himself, me and the protocols]

M. - Belgium 2024

Work with passion
"Sjoerd always seems to be exploring the world and himself. He used to have a lot of problems with school, studies and at work. But he reinvented himself a few times. Always trying out new things to improve his life and methods.

And he is so passionate about his work. [...] Our relationship changed a lot too. In our talks he helps me to remember that it's only me myself who can really change my life."

Kasper - My childhood friend from the Netherlands 2024 (translated)

Calm, Holistic, deep-going
""Meeting Sjoerd was important for me. I feel that it was not a coincidence. We really went deep into the causes of my health problems:
From changing daily habits to childhood themes [and ] to key life issues. I really like the calm, engaging and holistic way of working. A lot really happened in 2 hours. Thanks."

Lukasz - Poland 2024
