The founder
Marjolein Berendsen started her spiritual journey about 20 years ago. Already since she was a little girl, she experienced everything around her more intensively then others. Because of her high sensitivity she felt drawn to the energy she sensed and she was also able to transmute it. These qualities made her aware of the force of her healing energy and so she decided to start a training course offered by a paranormal therapist. When Reiki crossed her path in the year 2000, the sensibility of her intuitive abilities increased. Even though she enjoyed her current job back then, her heart wasn’t in it. And that was what she actually desired so intensively: living from her core essence being guided by love.
Sequel: her own practice
The training course Naturopathic paranormal therapist ensued as well as the training course to become a Reiki Master which all led her to host her own Reiki courses and coaching sessions from her own Practice ZoMa in the year of 2009. During this period she learned how to provide holistic based treatments. Many of her students inspired Marjolein to create her own training courses.
From integration to accreditation
All the elements Marjolein considered as essential were integrated: Reiki, Being Orientation, Holistic practicing, intuition and all the tools and methods that can complement the essentials. Together with a team of teaching professionals she created the training courses Holistic Therapist and Reiki Trainer which quickly became accreditated by the KTNO. ZoMa Opleidingen was founded!
Founder Marjolein Berendsen is in charge of the day-to-day management together with operational manager Corina Rouwenhorst, marketing manager Petra van Dreumel and HR-manager Chantal Peters.
Marjolein is a leading example in terms of living from you core essence. She chose to follow her heart: helping, supporting and guiding people on their way to insight and unconditional (self) love. To spread her mission and vision, Marjolein wrote the in 2021 published books ‘Holistic Living, realizing effortless happiness’.
The training centre
ZoMa Opleidingen is the daughter of Praktijk ZoMa. Besides energetical therapy and coaching, founder and owner Marjolein Berendsen also practiced Reiki in this practice space. It were her students who came up with the idea for creating a training course, and that’s how it all started. Thanks to the always flowing DNA of Praktijk ZoMa, ZoMa Opleidingen already exists over 12,5 years.
ZoMa Opleidingen derives from the idea that every human being is loving, whole and complete at their core essence. Today’s society prioritizes knowledge, prestige and materialism. Because of that, being whole and complete is easily forgotten. By educating self-conscious and professional holistic therapists with love, light and connection as their key ingredients, ZoMa Opleidingen enriches the society.
That’s why ZoMa Opleidingen focuses on knowledge, consciousness and self-love in finding common grounds with the reality. We do this by educating all our students from a holistic point of view for which we approach all holistic levels with energetic work. It’s our mission to educate therapists whoms actions are based upon their own experiences and consciousness. Without judgements and without obstructions; they’ve let down their guards which has enabled them to treat their clients from a state of wholeness, freedom and unconditional love.
Whole and complete
During a training course or any other course of ZoMa Opleidingen you learn how you can live from your core essence and how you can pass this on to your clients. How you can just be happy without conditions nor obstructions. How you can commit to yourself and everything around you. With your core essence being your home base, you learn to become aware of the fact that you’re already whole and complete which leads you to who you truly are. Living from your heart, that’s what ZoMa Opleidingen has to offer you!
