Since 2022, Merel has been thoughtfully exploring tantra and conscious connection, weaving these practices into her life as lover, mother, friend and professional. Drawn to the transformative power of slowing down, her discovery of Slow Sex has deeply nourished all these aspects of her being.

As a space holder with Slow Sex since 2024, Merel contributes with genuine passion to the unique experience of each participant. She finds joy in witnessing people's beautiful expansion—watching them courageously enlarge their inner world, discover the balance between sensitivity and strength, and form authentic connections with themselves and others.

Each practice unfolds uniquely, and Merel brings her full presence to truly see and hear what emerges. Her gentle attention, natural calm, and grounded energy create a nurturing space for exploration. For Merel, "genuine connection" lies at the heart of Slow Sex — both the intimate relationship with one's own emotional landscape and authentic bonds with others. She loves how Slow Sex celebrates the profound beauty and power of each individual’s life force.
