Dr. Maartje is neuropsychologist with nearly 20 years of experience, and the creator of EMPRYNT, a method for rewiring the patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate.

EMPRYNT supports neural rewiring and breaking dysfunctional patterns by integrating clinical and neuropsychology techniques, and is the backbone of the successful AURA Rewire program.

Dr. Maartje created EMPRYNT because after years working in traditional therapy, she recognized that insight alone was not enough—lasting change happens in the brain and body, where patterns are formed.

Dr. Maartje earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Neuropsychology in 2008, after which she began her career as a clinical professional. By 2011, she became the head of an outpatient neuropsychology clinic, where she designed treatment programs, and a few years later, she led an outpatient clinic specializing in adult ADHD. With certifications in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), CBT for adult ADHD, schema-focused therapy, and EMDR, she has diagnosed and worked with clients experiencing personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. After moving to the United States, she pursued her PhD, applying brain science to the design of systems.

EMPRYNT stands for Empowering Pattern Reprogramming Yielding Neuropsychological Transformation, this methodology. It integrates principles from neuropsychology, clinical psychology, nervous system regulation, and pattern-based therapeutic models to work directly with the mechanisms that drive behavior—rather than only analyzing them.

The process focuses on:

• Identifying core relational and emotional patterns
• Understanding how they were formed
• Rewiring them at the level of the brain and nervous system

This is what allows change to move from temporary insight to lasting transformation.

EMPRYNT vs. Traditional Therapy

Both approaches offer value. EMPRYNT builds on traditional therapeutic insight by extending the work into the brain and nervous system where patterns are maintained. There is absolutely a time and a place for traditional therapy, especially when communal support is lagging in e.g., time of grief.
