About Dirk Marivoet & Body Psychotherapy
Body psychotherapy—also known as somatic psychotherapy—is a field that integrates psychological understanding with embodied awareness.
This website offers an accessible entry into this field, providing clear information on somatic psychotherapy, trauma, and training pathways in Europe.
It is developed by Dirk Marivoet, an integrative body psychotherapist and founder of the Core Strokes® approach.
Through his work, Dirk brings together breath, fascia, and relational presence as interconnected dimensions of psychological and somatic experience.
He is also the founder of the International Institute for Bodymind Integration (IIBI), through which he has been teaching and developing body-oriented psychotherapy approaches internationally.
Rather than presenting a single method, this site aims to offer orientation within the broader field of somatic psychotherapy—while also providing pathways into deeper study and training.
