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

My name is

Nikoletta Hittmann.

About me

I’m a neurospicy millennial and a body-mind practitioner with a deep passion for helping people rediscover the wisdom and potential of their body-mind connection.

I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, but ten years ago, I followed my heart to the Netherlands. I’m now based in Groningen, where I offer in-person sessions. Internationally, I work online, offering therapy in Hungarian, English, and Dutch.

Alongside my private practice, I also work in the dutch healthcare system in thuiszorg (home care), where I support individuals in maintaining their dignity, health, and quality of life within the safety of their own homes. This work keeps me grounded in the everyday realities of care and reminds me how essential it is to meet people exactly where they are, both physically and emotionally. Supporting people in their most vulnerable moments has taught me the importance of compassion, patience, and meeting each person exactly where they are.

My journey

My background is rooted in complementary medicine. I began my journey seven years ago as a massage therapist, and very quickly, I became fascinated by how deeply our body, mind, and spirit are connected. This curiosity led me to deepen my knowledge through various trainings in therapeutic touch, trauma-informed care, alternative movement practices, bodywork, somatic education, nervous system regulation, meditation, polyvagal theory, applied kinesiology, psilocybin microdosing, and somatic therapy.

How I work

In my sessions, I combine trauma-informed bodywork, holistic massage, somatic therapy, and nervous system coaching. I draw on approaches like polyvagal theory (understanding how the body responds to stress and safety) and applied kinesiology (tuning into how the body holds imbalance).

But more important than any method is the way we work together: gently, with curiosity, and always at your pace. My role is not to “fix” you, but to support you in listening to your body, reclaiming your strength, and finding your own way back to balance.

Ongoing Growth

Right now, I’m expanding my practice by training as a Somatic Trauma Therapist (under the guidance of Babette Rothschild) and as a Naturopathic Practitioner. My passion for learning is ongoing, and I’ve taken part in many international courses to ensure that my work remains diverse, informed, and of high quality.

Since 2022, I’ve been a proud member of the Dutch professional organization CAT (Collectief Alternatieve Therapeuten), committed to offering responsible and compassionate care. In 2023, I also collaborated with Hanze University of Applied Sciences on research exploring how we can better communicate about somatic therapy and trauma-informed approaches.

Little more about me

I volunteer for an organization in Hungary that supports students from financially or environmentally challenging backgrounds. This work feels close to my heart, as I believe everyone deserves care, opportunity, and connection.

An Invitation

This work is about more than healing pain, it’s about remembering your own strength, reconnecting with joy, and feeling at home in your body. You don’t have to walk this path alone.

Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to meet you with kindness, safety, and trust.
