| About Yvonne Weeseman
My name is Yvonne Weeseman and I am the founder of Paradisekids child centre.
Based on my professional knowledge and experience I feel it is a privilege to support children and adults on their inner journey to healing and wholeness. I enjoy using my creativity and insight while working with people.
Each time I witness a child or adult releasing old resistance and recognizing their essence, my heart is filled with gratitude.
From the various methods I use as a therapist, I choose the one which best supports the child and parents.
I believe parents and children know which healing path suits them best. Inside us, everything is present and inside you will find the way to healing and freedom. I offer a safe space and professional support to make this inner journey possible.

Each year, from 2002 until 2015, I have been part of the staff that intensively supports The Practitioners Accreditation programme offered by Brandon Bays (The Journey). From 2010 – 2015 I presented all Dutch seminars in The Netherlands and Belgium, including the Journey Intensive workshop.
On my own initiative I have developed various children’s & teenager’s-workshops around the Inner Journey method, which are called “Inner Journey for Kids & Teens Workshops”.

The following CD’s are translated in Dutch language. (Titles are identical to the books):
