Pingel is a truly gifted facilitator—full of energy, kindness, and deep knowledge. Her guidance made me feel safe to explore movement, release tension, and reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t expect. Each session felt nourishing, insightful, and transformative.

Does this sound familiar?

Perhaps you learned to hold parts of yourself back.
To stay careful.
To monitor yourself around others.
To feel yourself tighten or hold your breath before you speak.
To contain or hold yourself in so you could feel safe, accepted, or enough.

Over time, your natural ease, spontaneity, playfulness, and aliveness may have become overshadowed by protection.

You might recognise this as feeling more in your head than in your body. A subtle bracing in your body around others, feeling anxiety when you try to express yourself freely, a tiredness that lingers in the background, even when nothing is “wrong”

And somewhere inside, there may be a longing:
  • to feel more free
  • more relaxed
  • more playful
  • more fully alive in who you are

I hear you.
I support women in moving from holding back to a more easeful sense of being themselves—feeling at home in their body, and and safe enough within themselves to express themselves wholeheartedly.

My own journey has moved through contraction and expansion, from holding back to opening again. Along the way, I found my Inner Sparkle again, and a deeper sense of trust and ease in being myself. This is what I now support others in reconnecting with, in their own way, at their own pace.

I would love to guide you in rediscovering yours.

Two lights see more than one.

Changing your story at the root of who you are

My guidance begins by helping the body feel at ease, allowing the nervous system to settle and reorient towards ease and pleasure. From this shift in bodily state, inner intensity loosens its grip and something softens. Perception naturally begins to change—how you meet the world and how you feel yourself—and your body begins to send clearer signals of safety.—followed by a natural reorganisation of emotional patterns, meaning, and your experience of self.

I guide the body’s inherent capacity to self-organise and re-tune, so integration can unfold from within.

I’m Pingel Braat | Inner Sparkle Guide

I help women reconnect with their Inner Sparkle and a deeper sense of ease, safety in being themselves, and natural self-expression through attuned presence, movement, and nervous system support.

With my soul-led, body-centered MAMA pathway — Map, Anchor, Move, Align — your system gently shifts from patterns of protection and lingering intensity into more ease, aliveness, and presence in your body and life.

I am a Feldenkrais neuro-somatic practitioner, Organic Intelligence® coach, and NIA movement teacher. I also work with Quantum Human Design and playful dance & creativity. My approach blends neuroscience, somatic wisdom, and a touch of pixie magic to help your system relax, come alive, and trust again.

In my Inner Sparkle Sanctuary, Jardin de Luz, or online, I guide you through sensory exploration, soul-led movement, dance, and creativity, inviting your body, heart, and inner wisdom into playful inner freedom.

Come home to your body, your Inner Sparkle, and and a deeper sense of ease in being yourself.
Organic Intelligence® post-trauma growth coaching

From self-doubt and bracing
to ease, self-acceptance, and Inner Sparkle

MAMA is a soul-led, body-centered pathway I created for women who feel themselves tightening, holding back, or staying small in how they move through life and relationships—where safety has turned into bracing, muting, or self-protection. MAMA is intuitive and feminine.

Through four gentle interwoven threads, you’ll:

MAP → gently explore your world through your senses, letting your system see, hear, touch, and feel what is here, now
ANCHOR → settle into your body, discovering that comfort and ease are safe and possible
MOVE → awaken to your body’s wisdom, your Sensuous Body Wise - through curious, aware movement that invites your Playful Self Wise and Wild Wise Heart to express and play.
ALIGN → synchronize your biology - senses, thought, emotion, sensation, and imagery - with the desire of your Wild Wise Heart.

Weave yourself back into belonging through three inner ways of experiencing yourself:
your Sensuous Body Wise, your Wild Wise Heart, and your Expressive Self Wise
And step into playful, embodied freedom…

I Am Deeply Thankful for this Experience!

I had panic attacks and felt stuck, and have chronic pain issues.

I love to move and knew that that kind of somatic dance work would fit best for me, and it did.

Found new perspectives. Tools to listen to my body and set some boundaries. It feels like I am now finally on the way to showing myself and getting to really know myself.

Pingel is absolutely professional and very creative. The somatic sessions were always very well prepared and structured, and I felt so safe with her. Her wisdom and guidance helped me a lot.

Are you ready to stop working on yourself and start living from yourself?

Small group retreats

Feel your body again as a safe, joyful home. Reconnect with the deep intelligence of your Body Wise Soul. Listen to the quiet wisdom of your senses, breath, and bones. Gently uncover your radiant, sparkling self beneath patterns shaped by fear, tension, and old stories of not enough.

Soften the layers of protection you may carry. Come back to your Wild Wise Heart. Move, dance, feel, and play—with silence, nature, sensation, and presence.

Rekindle your Inner Sparkle through heart-to-heart connection and embodied creative expression.

Step into Joy

A private retreat, just for you

Are you caught in patterns of protection and bracing—feeling not enough or too much in yourself or with others? What if these patterns could soften and fall away?

Befriend the wisdom of your biology. Listen to the quiet intelligence of your senses, gently supporting your body to soften. Trust your sensuous Body Wise and let it guide you back into fully being yourself with joy and ease.

Gift yourself a private retreat, fully tailored to your healing and growth. A calm place to move, dance, feel, and to come home to yourself... Step by step

Reclaim your sparkle

Human Design Journey

Has your Inner Sparkle grown quiet beneath old stories of self-doubt and bracing? What if that all could soften and dissolve?

Over your life, you may have been shaped by expectations that dim your light and shield your heart. Your body remembers what is true - it is a wise, playful guide - holding these stories, and also knowing how to move beyond them.

A Quantum Human Design roadmap guides you to reconnect with your Playful Self Wise, to release old stories,a truer story of who you are. Move into the joy of living fully as yourself.

Come back to yourself

A change of perspective, where limiting beliefs turn into potential and possibilities, and life energy starts flowing and sparkles. The joy of playfulness!

An incredible retreat with very professional guiding, lots of love and fun, and many invitations to play, wonderful and delicious meals, surrounded by beauty and tranquillity.
