REVIVING OUR TRADITIONS BY WEAVING SPIRIT & psyche BACK INTO HEALTHCARE

THROUGH TRADITIONAL EUROPEAN MEDICINE and ritual

Hi! My name is Ivy Van den Berge, I work as a traditional medicine practitioner, herbalist and ritualist.

I have been seeing clients since a decade now, supporting, guiding and walking together along their paths to a balanced, connected and inspired way of life. I understand illness, crisis and disbalance as our keys to wholeness. They bring us into initiation processes towards a more integrated form of life force, rather than only being things to ‘get rid of’ or ‘fix’. Understanding the wisdom behind our symptoms and learning to understand the language of nature in the process is something that deeply fascinates and motivates me.


My approach integrates and moves towards balance on a physical level, on an emotional and psychological, and also on a level one could call ‘spiritual’. The following questions are part of our explorations together : 

  • How can I deeply nourish and support my being in its most natural state? 

  • What, if any, inner conflicts are creating difficult situations for my health and well being?

  • How can I rewrite my approach to certain situations in order to feel liberated? 

  • How can I feel empowered and confident in having my health in my own hands?

If you are open to a truly integrative approach to restoring and/or maintaining vitality and inspiration in life, and if you are looking for support in doing so, I’ll be happy join alongside you in your journey. 


My practice is based in Huelgoat, Brittany, and I’m happy to also offer online consultations in English, French, Dutch and German.

What is Traditional European Medicine?

TEM for short, is a comprehensive and integrative system of natural medicine that focuses on root healing of a person and their relationship to the environment and the greater cosmos.

The main tools of TEM are clinical herbalism, constitutional therapy, traditional diagnostic tools like pulse and tongue diagnosis, regular detoxification processes, somatic therapies, hermetic alchemy, medical astrology, trance rituals and wilderness immersions.

Traditional medicine seeks to understand a person's unique signature of well-being, largely through the five elements. The role of a traditional medicine practitioner is to give impulses for a person's innate self-healing mechanisms to be triggered.

  • “I got in touch with Ivy when I was looking for help to heal my gut issues that I have been dealing with for more than 3 years now. I have been working with Ivy for half a year now and I can say my symptoms have improved immensely! I was dealing with chronic pain for so long that I had gotten used to this state of being but thankfully Ivy has helped me eradicate 90% of my pain - this is such a gift for me! I just love that she has such a holistic approach regarding any physical or mental issues. I have dealt with a lot of doctors and practitioners in the past but no one had tried to help me understand the root cause of my issues, therefore it was such joy for me start working with her. I really felt like she is genuinely invested in my whole healing journey. Honestly speaking I just love the sessions with her! Her energy is so warm and inviting that one really feels the love she has for her clients and for the work she does.”

  • “The sessions I booked with Ivy went beyond my expectations. Every session brought a different aspect to the issues I wanted to address. Ivy directed my focus to a more complex perspective and interconnectedness of healing on various levels. The knowledge she shared with me profoundly influenced my viewpoint of certain mechanisms in my body and inspired and supported me to work with my body on different levels of self. Her holistic approach, tailored recipes, discussions regarding more spiritual matters and interconnectedness of all of it brought me a clearer vision to my issues. On top of that, Ivy is an extremely sweet person, appreciative of the power of nature, understanding towards the uniqueness of our bodies and a very good listener.”

  • “The work together with Ivy was immensely helpful in many ways. Ivy really helped me with remembering and understanding my nature again. That helped me to see and also love my personal gifts a lot more. I will forever keep this with me. It really changed how I perceive myself and others. Thank you Ivy. I highly recommend consultations with her.”

  • A journey with yourself and the universe. When I met Ivy I was only remotely familiar with ritual and shamanism and began to explore these practices more deeply with her. She guided me through journeys, journeys of my subconsciousness. I received many new insights and became a student of my own world. When life situations collapse and the self is lost, this is a great way of moving forward. Ivy guides with language, sounds, resonances, scents and wayfinding to the universe. My journeys have been awakening, reflective, profound and resonance enlightening. Being yourself is a constant process. Thank you to dear Ivy.

    -Anna

  • "My body and mind were disconnected and I felt numb. I could tell myself that I loved my son, but I couldn't feel it and act on it. The sessions with Ivy have brought back my sensitivity and my ability to naturally act, rather than from my ideas of what I 'should' do, think or feel."
