Understand. Regulate. Integrate.
The 1:1 sessions I lead at Soma Reflect are for women and families navigating neurodivergence - diagnosed or suspected - alongside chronic stress load, autoimmune fluctuations, perimenopause, or disregulating symptoms.
If you have had your symptoms investigated and explained away without an integrative solution being considered, I will help you use your body's signals as the compass pointing you towards your system's needs - not as problems to explain away.

About Anca and her method:
Two lenses on one system - body and mind, understood together
My work is naturally integrative, stemming from both science and lived experience.
As an integrative therapist, I bring together my cPNI and ortomolecular knowledge with my BSc education in Orthopedagogy and post-graduate Medical Basic Knowledge to approach my clients' somatic and psychological manifestations as one whole - not as separate systems, and not as "either / or" symptoms.
And as a 50 year-old woman who has gone through life's different stages, navigating motherhood, marriage, widowhood - then becoming an expat and an entrepreneur, I understand.
I understand how exhaustion that sleep can't fix feels like. What reacting more sharply than you meant to sounds like. What your mind sounds like when you look in the mirror and see a stranger's body looking back.
I know first hand what it feels like to function, without truly recovering.
What my integrative approach brings neurodivergent individuals:
For women with A(u)DHD especially, hormones play a crucial part in how symptoms manifest - and their importance is often misunderstood or understated in protocols that miss the neuro-affirming lens. Additionally, years of masking, sensory input that doesn't switch off, an executive system that gets pushed past what it can hold - they all leave measurable traces in how you sleep, how you hold energy, how your immune system responds.
Clinical Psycho-Neuro-Immunology allows me to examine how your stress physiology, hormones and immune function interact - so we can revert the impact by working with the whole system. Especially important if you are in your (peri)menopause years, but not only.
Orthopedagogy adds the other lens I operate from. It informs how I understand behavior - as something that adapts to load, context, and physiological capacity (neurodivergence being just one example). It allows me to bring added depth in understanding not only what someone does, but the reason behind why they keep doing it - even when the pattern is no longer useful to them: like why you keep overriding your own limits, pushing through sensory overwhelm, holding it together until you physically can't anymore.
For neurodivergent adults this is vital, because so much of what gets called laziness or being "too sensitive" is a nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to just make it through the day. As a mother to neurodivergent kids myself, I see the toll of societal expectations on behavior and health - and I see how an integrative supportive approach can help create clarity and peace where there once was overwhelm.
Overall, the body keeps track of what the mind tries to control. The mind repeats what it has never learned to do differently. Both deserve an answer - so we work on them as one whole, not as parallel trajectories.
What my integrative therapy approach can help you with:
Capacity and recovery
When recovery falls behind, behaviour shifts on its own: focus slips, emotional margin shrinks, energy turns erratic. Our work starts by making load and recovery visible, so the pattern stops being a mystery.
Neurodivergent
load
With in-depth insights into ADHD, autism and AuDHD, I help you understand how your system reacts to pressure, break unwantd patterns, and map out a pace your system can hold.
Hormones and perimenopause
Symptoms that keep getting explained away often sit in rhythm with hormonal shifts. I help you understand how sleep, hormons, nutrition and behavior interact, and help you better support your entire system.
Autoimmunity and inflammation
Your immune response is part of the same system - by mapping your phisiological load, we can intervene at multiple levels, each leaving a trace in your immune system and inflammation levels.
Who integrative therapy is for:
Integrative therapy can support many people, but my work is especially aligned with neurodivergent women who are:
-
Battling (peri)menopausal changes
-
Struggling with chronic overload and capacity depletion
-
Fighting autoimmune fluctuations
-
Feeling fatigue that doesn't lift
-
Looking to bridge the communication gap in their own neurodivergent or neuro-mixed families
Whether formally diagnosed or simply recognizing yourself in patterns for autism, ADHD, AuDHD - or other neurodivergent profiles - integrative therapy can be the holistic solution that helps move your system out of chronic overwhelm and into a state of flow.

Free Intro Call: €0
20 minutes, 1:1, online
A no-strings attached conversation
The intro call is where you can discuss your personal situation, ask questions about the process, and determine whether we’re a good fit.
This call focuses on clarity and direction. It does not include an in-depth work.
Regulation Guidance: €85 / session
45 min, 1:1, in-person or online
Regular sessions to break unwanted patterns and replenish capacity
These sessions allow us to move from theory into practice, and create gentle accountability in a safe environment - so insights can turn into desired changes.
We track what stabilises from one session to the next, explore where resistance shows up, and where load starts building again.
Deel Learning Sessions - bespoke
Periodical re-evaluation sessions
Personalised material built around your specific question - for example, how cortisol moves across a day, why protein matters more than you think, why your temperature drops before sleep and what that means for your rhythm.
Written for you, around what you actually need to understand.
Capacity Analysis: €180
1 or 2 sessions (split), 1:1, online or in-person
Create visibility on your current capacity
Here where we map your regulation pattern: your wishes, life rhythm, load versus recovery, stress response, energy dynamics, context.
You leave with a thorough intake, a systemic interpretation, and a concrete first regulation plan - lifestyle, nutrition, supplement guidance and further research where relevant.
*Extended lab work is available separately through Nordic Labs (DUTCH test, SIBO, stress, DNA), and I can help you frame your needs to your GP so insurance-covered lab work feeds into the reports.
Recalibration Sessions €45
45 min, 1:1, online
Periodical re-evaluation sessions
Sometimes it's enough to only re-evaluate from time to time: What has changed? What still needs finetuning? What is safe to release?
While regulation is dynamic and ongoing, recalibration sessions serve as checkpoint sessions to prevent compensation from creeping back in.
