About Marianne
Background
For over 20 years Marianne Baan built a broad functional expertise in International Human Resources Management. Her focus has always been primarily on Empowerment of People and more specifically on Women in leadership roles. All those years she has worked in a fascinating multicultural, international and dynamic environment. She has worked in a wide range of Branded Businesses.
Working Method Holistic Counseling
About 10 Years ago she shifted her field of work and started to focus more and more on Holistic Counseling. It is during this period that she became inspired in how Art, Sound and Color can play a valuable role in restoring the natural self-healing capacity.
She works from the belief that deep down people know perfectly well what is needed to keep a healthy body, mind and soul, regardless of all the numerous challenges that besiege us from our own inner world and from the world outside us.
In her Practice she uses NLP, Reiki, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Bowls, Asian Gong and various other instruments.

After publishing her book LOTUS with heart and soul, she received regular requests for these workshops. This activity is under development.

Marianne as artist
Marianne "draws" directly with the raw material she works with and lets the paint-flow and material inspire and lead her. Organic and abstract motifs emerge from working with the erratic movement of paint.
Her sources of inspiration are music, nature and societal dynamics. She explains: Choosing color, material and subject is a creative process meant to reflect what inspires me and at the same time to create viewers' awareness and inspiration. This interactive creative manifestation enables her to capture and respond to the moment which explains the dynamics in her work.
Her work balances on the edge of figurative and abstract. This is meant to challenge the viewer and to appeal to freedom of new creative manifestations to emerge while at the same moment reflecting universal reality.
