Steffi Pieters
Steffi Pieters is an intuitive artist and holistic psychologist who was born in Belgium. As for feeling connected with others and the world, she struggled quite a bit. Even though she didn’t really show it openly, she dealt with a lot of health challenges. Before the age of 18, she decided to embark on a healing journey. As part of her study in clinical psychology, she did her internship in Bolivia. It was her first time overseas.
In 2013, she decided to go on a solo journey to Latin America and Africa. Her healing journey deepened and her heart and soul slowly but surely started to take center stage again. It wasn’t until later, when she went through a challenging period that guided her to turn even more towards her inner self, that she started to paint from her intuition.
In her professional life, Steffi combines psychology with alternative therapy modalities, using art therapy, EFT tapping, compassionate listening, energy work and constellations. She also makes intuitive art that arises ‘in flow’ and soul paintings.
Steffi emigrated to Peru in April 2021, following her heart and soul’s calling to live a life that feels more aligned with her essence. She now lives a more simple and slower life, close to nature, with a stronger sense of community and belonging.
