“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 believe in the power of intuition and the profound impact of allowing ourselves to let go. In our sessions, we'll work together to rewire thought patterns, redefine what safety means to you, and explore grounding techniques that promote energy flow and balance. By tuning into our bodies, we can listen to the signals they send, communicate more effectively with ourselves, and foster a deeper sense of trust and attachment.
Using methods that emphasize body awareness, movement, and energy management, I aim to create a supportive and secure environment where you can explore and utilize your inner resources. Whether it's through sensing, being present, or engaging in practices that encourage letting go, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
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.
