About Us

Living through difficult moments is part of being human, and it’s natural to feel stuck—emotionally, physically, or both. As a couple—a psychotherapist and a biophoton light practitioner—we’re here to help you move past what’s holding you back. With a compassionate and holistic approach, we focus on uncovering the root causes of your struggles, guiding you toward lasting peace and well-being. Our welcoming, home-based setting ensures you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you arrive.

Our counselling sessions provide a safe and supportive space to navigate life’s challenges, whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Self-Psychology, and Mindfulness, our sessions help you build resilience, gain clarity, and achieve meaningful change.

Biophoton light sessions works to restore the body’s natural energy flow by addressing energetic imbalances.

Individual Therapy

Life’s challenges—whether in relationships, career, or personal growth—can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the future. My counselling services provide a safe, supportive space where we can explore your struggles and uncover the deeper patterns shaping your experiences. I work with a range of concerns, including complex trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, and depression.

Counselling & Psychotherapy FAQs

I do not offer direct billing at this time. Payment for therapy sessions is due upfront at the end of each session. I accept credit cards and e-transfers.
After payment, I will provide you with a receipt, which you can submit to your insurance company. Most insurance companies will reimburse you within a few days.

During your first session, you’ll step into a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can share your story at your own pace. While the first session tends to be more administrative, it’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other, understand your needs, and start setting meaningful goals for your therapy journey. The focus is on making sure you feel safe and supported.


You don’t need to prepare much—just come as you are! However, if it helps, you might want to bring a list of any symptoms, concerns, or specific goals you’d like to address. Feel free to ask any questions about the process, your expectations, or what you hope to achieve in therapy. This is your space to be heard, understood, and supported, and I’m here to guide you through it.

Therapy involves a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist. The more honest you are, the easier the process becomes. While every journey is different, clients often experience better emotional regulation, greater self-awareness, improved stress management, and personal growth. Therapy helps you gain clarity, feel empowered, and navigate challenges with confidence. You’ll have the opportunity to build resilience and take meaningful steps toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Therapy is a deeply personal and voluntary process, unique to each individual. You have the freedom to pause or resume at any time. The duration of therapy varies—it could range from a few sessions to several years, depending on your circumstances and goals. Typically, I recommend starting with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. As you start to feel better and make progress toward your goals, we can adjust to fewer sessions or take a break when the time feels right.
Therapy is tailored to your unique needs, using evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focus Therapy (EFT), Self-Psychology, Solution-Focus Therapy and Mindfulness.
These approaches help you manage emotions, reduce stress, and create meaningful, positive changes in your life. Together, we’ll find the path that works best for you.

Biophoton FAQs

Every cell in our body emits light, though it’s beyond the visible spectrum—like trying to see a candle from 12 miles away. While this light is faint, it plays a crucial role in guiding the body’s regulatory mechanisms. These emissions, known as biophotons, are weak electromagnetic waves in the optical range, or simply light. Present in all living cells—whether in plants, animals, or humans—biophotons can’t be seen with the naked eye. However, special equipment developed by researchers allows us to measure them. These emissions reflect the overall functional state of the body, offering valuable insight into its health.The body’s energy pathways, often referred to as "energy highways," are invisible ducts beneath the skin’s surface. These pathways transport physiological light and have exit points at the fingers and toes. Using a specialized measuring device, I can assess these energy pathways to identify potential disruptions in the corresponding organs, helping to pinpoint imbalances in the body.For a deeper exploration into the fascinating world of biophoton, their potential applications in medicine, and their role in promoting overall health, please check the links below:
An Introduction to Human Biophoton Emission

Biophotons: Humans are “Beings of Light”

40 Years of Electro Acupuncture According to Voll (EAV)

Biophoton sessions are for anyone experiencing emotional or physical discomfort, chronic issues, or feeling stuck and out of balance. Whether you are struggling with stress, fatigue, persistent pain, or unresolved emotional challenges, this therapy helps restore your body’s natural energy flow, supporting overall well-being.

The session begins with a brief conversation to understand your current concerns. Using a non-invasive biofeedback method, I assess energetic patterns by measuring bioelectric responses at specific points on your hands and feet. This provides valuable insights into any potential energetic imbalances.

While seated in a relaxed position, you will either hold glass rods or place your feet on glass plates that are connected to the Chiren® instrument. The Chiren® device detects and reflects light-based energetic patterns within your body’s system. This process is completely non-invasive, with no physical manipulation involved.

The session typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours. At the end, I perform a follow-up measurement to observe any changes in the energetic patterns. If needed, additional light-based adjustments may be considered to further support energetic alignment.

It is important to stay hydrated and rest after your session as your body integrates the effects. Many clients report feeling more balanced, relaxed, and clear following their experience.

Note: Biophoton light sessions are designed to promote energetic balance and are not intended for medical diagnosis, treatment, or physical manipulation.






The number of sessions varies depending on your body’s response, the nature of energetic imbalances and your lifestyle. To achieve the best results, Biophoton therapy is most effective when done on a consistent, weekly basis, for at least 4 weekly consecutive sessions.

For optimal results:
  • The first two sessions are recommended 4–5 days apart.
  • Follow-up sessions can be scheduled 5–10 days apart to allow the body time to integrate and realign.
Each session builds on the previous one, clearing blockages and restoring balance. Consistency and adequate rest between sessions are key to supporting your body’s ability to heal and sustain long-term harmony.

Biophoton therapy offers a comprehensive approach to restoring harmony in the body by addressing energetic imbalances. It supports both physical health and emotional stability, as these systems are interconnected. 
By alleviating physical discomfort, emotional balance can improve, and vice versa. Individuals experiencing chronic, systemic, or psychological disturbances often notice improvements after just a few sessions. 
Even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a specific condition but feel generally unwell, biophoton therapy helps restore equilibrium and relieve discomfort.
A key aspect of biophoton therapy is its focus on the hormonal system, which plays a significant role in the body’s self-regulation. The first area addressed in a session is the endocrinal system, specifically the pituitary gland. When functioning properly, the pituitary gland helps the body discern what is healthy, supporting overall vitality and energy.






Please note: While I help identify energetic imbalances, I don’t provide a medical diagnosis.
In its current form homeopathy has been used for over 200 years. It was discovered by a pioneering German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, who in response to the often harmful medical practices of the day, began lowering dosages to avoid damaging side-effects. In the end he discovered that often the greater the dilution of the many plant, animal, mineral and synthetic substances used as remedies, the better the results could occur without the toxicity. The CHIREN has recorded the light frequencies of over 400 such modern remedies and modulates them back over a client’s own frequency, allowing the body to pick up what it needs, at whatever level it chooses.
Before the session, I will connect with you for a phone conversation to discuss your symptoms, intentions, and any relevant history you’d like to share. This allows me to analyze and prepare the proper remedies to address the root cause of your concerns. I also require a picture of you, which helps me tune into your energy for the session.
We’ll start with a brief call to ensure you’re in a relaxed space, answer any last-minute questions, and set the intention for the healing session. Once we’ve aligned our focus, I’ll guide you to get comfortable, and we’ll hang up the phone to begin the session.
Using the CHIREN, I will run carefully selected programs tailored to your specific needs. As the quantum light flows for 45 minutes, you simply rest in a relaxed state, allowing the energy to work at a deep level. You may notice sensations of warmth, relaxation, or energetic shifts as the healing takes place. It’s important to note that remote sessions are different from in-person sessions and are not as effective due to the absence of direct biofeedback. While healing can still occur, in-person sessions provide a more precise and powerful experience. After the session, we may briefly check in to discuss any immediate observations, and I may provide recommendations for continued healing.
My goal is to help restore balance and remove energetic blockages so that you can experience true healing at the root level.


While biophoton therapy is gentle and non-invasive, there are certain cases where treatment is not appropriate:
  1. If You’ve Had an Organ Transplant: Biophoton therapy works by helping your body rebalance and optimize its natural healing processes. However, for individuals with organ transplants or heart valves derived from animals, such as pig valves, this rebalancing could lead to the rejection of the transplanted organ.
  2. If You Have Artificial Blood Vessels or Similar Implants: For those with artificial arteries, veins, shunts, or urethras, biophoton therapy could potentially interfere with these critical medical devices. In these cases, treatment is not recommended.
  3. If You’re Taking Immune-Suppressant Drugs: Immune-suppressant medications, often used after transplants, are designed to maintain a delicate balance in the body. Biophoton therapy may disrupt this balance, so it’s best to avoid it in these situations.
It’s important to note that other types of prostheses, such as artificial joints, generally do not interfere with biophoton therapy. Should you have any specific concerns about your situation, I am happy to discuss them with you. 

Electron Spin Inversion occurs when the natural spin of electrons in the body becomes misaligned, disrupting energy flow. Factors like stress, toxins, geomagnetic storms, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from electronics and power lines can contribute to this misalignment.
When the body’s energy system is out of balance, external forces such as EMFs can further disrupt energy flow, potentially reducing the body’s ability to maintain harmony.

The treatment focuses on realigning the body’s energy flow, helping restore balance and coherence. During sessions, two glass electrodes are held to support the body’s energy system and encourage realignment.





Energetic whiplash occurs when the flow of energy in the body is disrupted, often due to an accident, fall, or emotional stress. The neck, being a central point for many energy pathways, is particularly vulnerable. Disruptions in energy flow can affect vital glands like the thyroid and parathyroid, which play important roles in metabolic and calcium balance. When energy flow to these areas is disrupted, it may contribute to feelings of imbalance or discomfort.
Physical trauma isn't the only cause—emotional stress, unresolved anxiety, and disconnection from your deeper values can also contribute to energy blockages, making the situation more challenging. For long-term health, it’s essential to stay in tune with both your physical and emotional well-being. Ultimately, your health is shaped by your ability to nurture and balance your body, mind, and spirit. The treatment takes about 2 minutes and helps restore energy flow between the head and the body.


Johan Boswinkel on Whiplash
Biontology is founded on the principle that life is guided by light. The term blends "bio" (life) and "ontology" (the study of being), emphasizing our deep connection to the light within us.

Research by Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp confirms that living cells emit biophotons—ultra-weak light particles that regulate metabolism, immunity, and cellular communication. When these signals remain coherent, they support health and vitality; disruptions may indicate imbalances in the body’s regulatory systems.

Biophoton therapy restores balance by detecting and correcting disturbances in biophoton emissions. Using specialized technology, this method realigns the body's energetic communication, enhancing its natural ability to self-regulate and heal.

Beyond therapy, presence and stillness play a key role in healing. Studies in quantum biology and psychoneuroimmunology suggest that mental states influence cellular function. By cultivating stillness and focusing on the present moment, we support the body's ability to harmonize mind, body, and spirit, creating the ideal conditions for healing.


It is your light that lights the world
In the 1950s  Dr. Reinhard Voll, a German medical doctor and engineer began researching and proving an innovative testing method now known collectively as electro-acupuncture, electro-dermal screening, and meridian stress assessment. It was later to be picked up by medical practitioners as an alternative and holistic approach to health measurement. In the 1990s Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp, with a PHD in theoretical physics from the University of Mainz, Germany made a remarkable discovery - human beings emit light. He conducted research that confirmed the existence of biophotons, particles of light with no mass, that transmit information within and between cells. His work shows that the DNA in a living cell stores and releases photons.

My wife and I have been seeing Ionatan at irregular intervals for over a year due to great grief we have suffered re our Adult children cutting us off without communication or explanation. Along with missing our grandson. Ionatan's strong and loving presence from our first appointment and ongoing meetings has been a major influence re our healing journey. His understanding and often challenging suggestions have been paramount in strengthening our bond as a couple and given us the ability to love what we still have. We both feel really grateful to Ionatan for his soulful approach to our situation and his often uplifting and humorist reviews. He is trustworthy, down to earth and reliable which has been a major part of our recovery during this most difficult year. Today we feel freer than ever before and more grateful for each other and each new day as it comes. We highly recommend and appreciate Ionatan for his honesty, work ethics and friendship.
