About me
I am Sjoukje, a certified hypnotherapist and trainer
Hypnotherapist
Sjoukje Emans
I’m the founder of Edelvuur, an international hypnosis trainer and examiner specializing in Ericksonian hypnosis. Over the years, I’ve coached countless therapists and clients—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:
True success lies not in striving for perfection, but in allowing relaxation to occur.
Because only when you work from the heart instead of just the head does something magical happen. There, in that place of peace and safety, true transformation takes place. There, the problem simply can’t hold on any longer.
“Why do people behave in ways that make them unhappy?”
This question has always intrigued me. As I grew up, another mystery arose:
“Do we have limited choices in our happiness?”
Mental prison
The power and vulnerability of the brain
My fascination with the human brain gained extra momentum when I found myself stuck in my own struggles. At times, I no longer recognized myself. It felt like I was trapped. Until, at a low point, I suddenly had an insight that redirected my search.
During my studies, I researched religious sects. What intrigued me was that people can become so entangled in a mental prison that they lose their identity. Sometimes voluntarily, sometimes under duress. How powerful (and vulnerable) is the brain to reprogram itself?
In that research, I came into contact with specialists who counseled victims of cult manipulation and abuse. They helped them rediscover their own identity and gradually break free from that inner captivity.
But what struck me was that the number of sessions required varied greatly. And despite the support, many continued to struggle. The traumatic experience held sway, and the risk of relapse was real.
Lasting transformation
How Hypnosis Changed My Life
When I started searching for healing myself, real change eluded me. The therapies I tried offered only temporary relief. That is, until hypnosis came my way.
After just three sessions, I felt the difference—deep and lasting.
What happened? I no longer saw myself as someone with a problem. That identification fell away. And that changed everything. You can imagine my surprise.
That moment marked the beginning of my journey in hypnotherapy. I immersed myself in the field and had the privilege of learning from some of the world’s leading psychotherapists and hypnotherapists.
It felt like a eureka moment: “If this is possible… why don’t we help all people in a mental prison with hypnosis?”
I still believe it: when people free themselves from their inner blocks, the world changes. Hypnosis, in my opinion, is the path to lasting, ethical, and effective transformation.
When I started my own practice, I saw it happen again and again: deep-seated problems disappeared. Not slowly, but effortlessly—like snow in the sun.
The training that transforms you
You don't learn hypnosis from a book, but from the Heart
But you know what I discovered? There’s something I love even more than working with clients: training people like you to become hypnotherapists.
It’s incredible to see how students grow into confident professionals with a wealth of skills, a clear sense of self-confidence, and the ability to easily help others, in their own practice, in their own way.
And that’s necessary, because hypnosis is finally getting the recognition it deserves. More and more people are discovering that it’s the most powerful way to break free from that mental prison.
Hypnotherapy is a specialized field. It requires careful guidance, extensive practice, and an approach that goes beyond simple technique. Without the right approach, the effects often feel superficial.
What makes the difference in my training? You not only gain deep knowledge and practical tools, but you also learn to work from the Heart. That’s where true transformation happens. That’s where the problem loses its grip.
Do you feel it is time to learn this profession in a way that is profound, professional and heartfelt?
Then I cordially invite you. Noble Fire exists for you.
