Liliane van der Velde
Co-author of the ACT® Shamanic Approach to Therapy
I founded the school Nature Conscience and Chamanisme NCC to share the love and richness of the Living Field to reveal each unique Human Nature and their place in the world. I left medical school to find a way to care for people in all their dimensions. In 1983, I encountered shamanism in the US with Michael Harner and the Hopi Indians. I continued my apprenticeship in different countries where Nature taught me her way for growing and healing in harmony with Life. These 35 years of exploring and practicing mind-body therapy, listening to the soul through body language, and healing with the help of spirits, have led to create the Shamanic Approach to Therapy. ACT® supports health care professionals, coaches and trainers to heal and reveal the true nature of each individual, but also to care for places, groups and projects.
For some years now, I've also been supporting the development of professionals and their projects.

Aline Piemontesi
For several years, I worked in the corporate world, but another way of accompanying people came to the fore as the need to find meaning and coherence in my life grew.
I followed the teachings of various shamans and holistic schools, which enabled me to measure how much Love we have within us and the immense love that Nature has for us.
I also felt the need to heal the "wounds of my soul", and it was during Liliane's Soul retrieval course that a previously ignored dimension of me could emerge. Each of the teachings I received from humans, spirits or nature reconciled me with my true nature and enabled me to find my place.
After training as a sophrologist, I now give treatments using the Shamanic Approach to Therapy. Thanks to the intelligence of living beings, life choices can be redefined, wounds mended and the heart lightened. Human beings are no longer defined by their history, but by their rediscovered, enlightened humanity. I also accompany the Nature Conscience et Chamanisme NCC shamanic curriculum.

Hélène Schmidt
Until I was 33, my life was very much focused on the professional sphere, and I flourished as a humanitarian worker in various countries around the world. Then I came across the shamanic vision of life, notably through NCC courses and Toltec training: a great space of freedom and possibilities opened up for me, with access to a more balanced and complete life on Earth, according to my deepest impulses.
I now care for Life differently. I'm convinced that it's through the individual realization of each person that the community is harmonious and in loving relationships. That's why I use the ACT Shamanic Approach to Therapy to accompany those who wish to rediscover the joy and simplicity of the heart, so they can be more and more themselves. I also have the great joy of leading the Shamanic Journey basic workshop and the foundations of a natural relationship with oneself and with life workshop. I love accompanying you in taking your unique place on Earth and moving together as a tribe towards what is right for each of us.

Hermine Borrel Couturou
I'm very grateful to my profession as a farmer, which for almost 40 years has taught me to be in touch with the Living and its Love, which it expresses in its own unique way through human beings and the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms. I've learned to listen to the invisible side, to the synchronicity of this Living Being and to be its intermediary to contribute to the well-being of the earth and its inhabitants.
Since 2017, teaching at the Nature Conscience Shamanism school has revealed to me the healing power of lost and forgotten links with the Living One, and has brought enormous deepening to my being and my personal life.
What motivates me as an ACT therapist is that the Spirits of the Living are waiting for us to ask for their support to provide us the appropriate and powerful resources for our healing, for our evolution on our life path. I'm amazed by this beauty… Above all, I rely on the Spirit of Mother Earth, nourishing, transforming and welcoming for all her inhabitants! What drives me as a workshop leader is to give everyone the opportunity to mend their ties with the Living, to reveal the power of who they really are, so that they can find their place in the great web of Life, and allow themselves to experience the unimaginable richness within.
