“Guide me to be a patient companion, to listen with a heart as open as the sky.”

My name is
Nikoletta Hittmann.
I’m a neurospicy, millennial, body-mind practitioner who loves helping people discover the power and potential of their body-mind connections.
I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, but nine years ago, I moved to the Netherlands. Currently, my physical practice is located in Groningen, the Netherlands, and internationally, I offer my therapeutic services online in Hungarian, English, and Dutch
I come from the world of complementary medicine. Six years ago, I started as a massage therapist and swiftly recognized the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. This realization prompted me to pursue extensive training in therapeutic touch, trauma-informed approaches, alternative movement practices, bodywork, somato education, nervous system regulation, meditation, polyvagal theory, applied kinesiology, psilocybin microdosing, and somatic therapy.
I’m currently transitioning into becoming a Somatic Trauma and Naturopathic Practitioner, exploring somatic healing modalities such as somatic psychology, meditation, neuroscience, somatic movement techniques, and plant medicine healing. Continuous learning is essential to me, and I have taken various international courses and training to offer diverse and high-quality services to my clients.
As a member of the Dutch professional organization CAT (Collectief Alternatieve Therapeuten) since 2022, I am committed to providing responsible and competent care to those who visit my practice.
In 2023, I participated in research with the Hanze University of Applied Sciences to find better ways to communicate about somatic therapy and trauma-informed approaches.
To broaden my practice, I am currently enrolled in a two-year training program to become a Somatic Trauma Therapist lead by Babette Rothschild and another program to be able to practice as a naturopathic practitioner. Since 2022, I have also been volunteering for an association in Hungary that assists students from families facing financial or environmental challenges with their studies.
