Welcome! My name is Klara Veer.
I’m an IFS L1 practitioner and embodiment guide - passionate about supporting people on their journey of personal growth. After almost a decade of inner-work recovering from complex childhood trauma in therapy, I felt a strong calling to expand my field of expertise and give further to others the help that I received myself.
IFS offered me the joy and privilege to discover (or rather remember?) that each and every person has the capacity to tap into their own source of self-knowledge and self-acceptance - the foundations of authentic compassion. During my first year as a student in the Somatic Experiencing Professional Training (SE™) I started working with clients eager to reconnect to the wisdom of their bodies and their innate Self-energy and its healing power. ****
My own process included working with therapists trained in a variety of models that helped me explore and connect to different parts of myself: Psychodynamic therapy, Hakomi, IFS, Somatic-IFS, Neuro-affective touch, Somatic Experiencing, NVC, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ACT Therapy, Intuitive Drawing, Psychodrama, Art-therapy.
*In all, there were three things: the certainty one is always beginning, the certainty one must go further, and the certainty that one will be interrupted before finishing.
From the interruptions, to make a new path, from falling, a dance step, from fear, a ladder from dream, a bridge, from search...the encounter.
— Fernando Pessoa (translated by Cecilia Ramon and Sheila Packa)*
What motivates me
I have an MA degree in Architecture and for the past 18 years I worked as a designer and university teacher. I’m a lifelong learner who, after working closely with people from various backgrounds, decided to follow her passion about empowering others to heal and grow, to live from the heart.
I want to contribute to building a world in which every person is truly valued, encouraged and supported to thrive, in all areas of life. Fascinated by the compassionate and transformative power of the IFS, NVC and SE models, I started training for certification in these modalities. My approach is informed by somatic parts work, conscious intimacy, authentic relationships and inherited trans-generational trauma healing practices.
The following people and their teachings have been significantly influential in my life**:** Betty Martin, Richard Schwartz, Peter Levine, Esther Perel, Bessel van der Kolk, Janina Fisher, Deb Dana, Linda Thai, Terry Real, Marshall Rosenberg, Emily Nagoski. I’m very grateful for having had the chance to meet and learn directly from most of them.
I live in Cluj, Romania. When I'm not working, I love spending my time dancing, immersing myself in nature or simply learning to purr at life from my furry cats 🐈⬛
