Sabine Baeyens
Sabine Baeyens has made it her singular purpose to care.
Charity and empathy are what drives her work with children and parents alike in her organisation InTouch. There, she supports and connects people who got stuck - guiding the parents of autistic or sensory impaired children with patience and compassion.
Over the years, through both experience and education, she has developed her own specialised and unique way of helping others.

Sabine trains, consults, coaches and supervises - utilising her expertise in both eastern and western healing techniques and her own breadth of personal experience. She has helped and taught a wide variety of people from all over the world this way.
Nothing is more fulfilling for her than knowing she’s helped someone find joy and hope, by helping them take back control of their lives.
For Sabine, freedom and abundance are a necessity that can only be achieved, together, through love.
Sabine is based in Antwerp, Belgium.

Isabella Cattaneo
Isabella Cattaneo is a Psychologist specializing in Autism.
For the past 15 years she has passionately been working with children with disabilities. She not only works with the child but with the whole family, supporting parents in every step of their parenting journey.
After working several years 1-on-1 with children and their families in a clinic in Paris, she recently decided to focus her love and energy on a more global approach and is now working as a health counselor, therapist and coach in French and Italian Montessori schools for children and young people with developmental and learning disorders.
The purpose of her interventions is to train the school’s education team and give them the necessary tools to help children in a very practical and effective way during their time at school. She also teaches parents in Qigong techniques so they are able to be more self-sufficient and help their children at home. This way she’s able to reach even more children and families.
Isabella’s work is multidisciplinary and versatile. Her single goal is simple: creating an energetic balance in the body in order to facilitate learning. A body in harmony with all its senses allows us to feel at ease in everyday life.
Isabella is Italian and works and lives in Paris.
