About us
The people behind Innerlijke-reis
A safe place for a deep inner process
Behind Innerlijke-reis is a team of people who believe that each of us carries our own inner strength and wisdom. Our role is not to determine what your journey should bring, but to carefully support you in whatever arises.
Our team brings together healthcare, psychology, trauma support, breathwork, coaching, bodywork and many years of experience with psychedelic processes. What connects us is our desire to support you with care, respect and professionalism, while offering the safety and space you need to follow your own process.
How Quinne and Erik met
Innerlijke-reis was founded by Quinne. Drawing on her many years of experience in healthcare and her passion for awareness, personal development and inner work, she felt a strong desire to support people in a safe and compassionate way during their inner journey.
Quinne met Erik during their training as an Ayahuasquero and Process Therapist. Their shared passion for conscious inner work, music and supporting others naturally grew into a close collaboration. Today, they are not only at the heart of Innerlijke-reis together, but also share their lives.
Together, they create a safe and trusting space where participants feel welcome to slow down, go deeper and open themselves to their own process.
Quinne van Kessel – Founder & Ceremony Leader
My desire to support and guide people began long before Innerlijke-reis. With my background in healthcare, I spent many years alongside people during times when life can feel vulnerable, intense and uncertain. I worked as a nurse and healthcare manager, and later as a psychiatric nurse and specialist nurse in palliative care.
Those years taught me how important it is to be truly present. To listen attentively, without immediately trying to solve or interpret. And to continue seeing someone as a person, especially when life becomes difficult or painful.
My own journey within has also shaped me deeply. I have experienced how valuable it can be to turn inward, to meet old patterns and beliefs, and to reconnect with what is truly essential. My own experiences have shown me how much strength and wisdom each person carries within, even when we may temporarily feel disconnected from it ourselves.
The origins of Innerlijke-reis
In 2014, Innerlijke-reis grew from this desire to support people in their inner processes. What began as a deeply felt calling has since developed into a place where we have had the privilege of guiding thousands of people.
Over the years, I have learned that a deep inner process requires not only space for whatever arises within, but also care, safety, expertise and thoughtful guidance. That is why we have continuously developed and refined our way of working, from preparation and the ceremony itself to integration and aftercare.
My approach to guidance
Everyone has their own story, history and process. My role is not to determine what your journey should bring, but to stand beside you with care, experience and knowledge. To truly listen, to be present, and to create a safe environment where you can slow down, feel and experience whatever arises.
My background in healthcare has taught me the importance of safety, responsibility and clear boundaries. My own journey has taught me to trust the wisdom that exists within each person.
I believe that good guidance is ultimately not about providing answers, but about helping create the conditions in which you can discover for yourself what feels true and meaningful to you.
For me, this is the essence of Innerlijke-reis: creating a safe place where you can meet yourself again and move closer to your own strength and wisdom.
Background & expertise
Since 2014, Quinne has guided ceremonies and individual journeys. With her background as a nurse, healthcare manager, psychiatric nurse and specialist nurse in palliative care, she brings extensive experience in supporting people through vulnerable and transformative processes.
She has also completed various courses and trainings in process-oriented therapy and Ayahuascquero work, psychotrauma, breathwork, medication tapering, auriculotherapy and holding space. She is also a Certified Advanced Kambo Practitioner with IAKP.

A Personal Message from Quinne
”My own journey has taught me how much strength and wisdom lives within each of us. I am still grateful every day that I have the privilege of guiding people as they reconnect with that inner strength. For me, true guidance begins with listening deeply, with gentleness, presence and without judgment.“
Erik Wienk – Ceremony Facilitator & Truffle Specialist
Erik co-facilitates intensive weekends, group ceremonies and guided microdosing programs together with Quinne. Since his first ceremony in 2011, he has gained extensive personal experience with various psychedelic substances and, during his travels to Peru, deepened his understanding of traditional ceremonial practices among Shipibo maestros.
He completed training as a Process Therapist and Ayahuascquero and has also explored breathwork, ear acupressure and Body Drum Release. In his work with participants, he combines this experience with a calm, grounded and attentive presence.
Within Innerlijke-reis, Erik is also responsible for cultivating our own Innerlijke-reis truffles, which are used during ceremonies and guided microdosing programs. Drawing on his knowledge and experience, he contributes to the quality and care with which we work at Innerlijke-reis.

A Personal Message from Iva
”I believe insights only become truly valuable when you can understand, process and integrate them into your daily life. That is why I consider not only the ceremony itself important, but also everything that may arise before and afterwards.”
Jane – Ceremony Facilitator & Tantra Practitioner
Jane supports participants with warmth, connection and presence. Her own inner journey brought her greater peace, trust and clarity, and marked the beginning of her deeper exploration of tantra.
She completed a year-long Tantra training at Body2chill and is currently continuing her training at the Tantra Tempel of Swami Nirav Beej. Drawing on this background, she brings an awareness of consciousness, connection and the body into her work with participants.
During ceremonies, Jane offers an open, warm and safe presence, creating space for whatever arises and allowing everything to be there. With care and respect, she supports participants in following their own process.
A Personal Message from Jane
”My own inner journey has brought me greater peace, clarity and trust. I have learned that not everything needs to be solved or controlled. Sometimes the greatest change happens when everything is allowed to be present and you meet yourself with openness and curiosity.”
Denise – Ceremony Facilitator & Psychosocial Practitioner
Denise worked in mental healthcare for twenty years and has a professional background in psychosocial work. Her experiences with plant medicine helped her gain deeper insight into personal patterns, family dynamics and processes of awareness.

A Personal Message from Denise

Through her intuitive and loving approach, she helps people to deeply relax, release tension, and return home to their own bodies.
