Most approaches to relationship patterns stop at understanding. Dr. Maartje built EMPRYNT™ because she kept watching that fail — and because she knew exactly why.
Insight lives in the mind. Patterns live in the brain and body. Until you work at the level where they actually formed, you will keep understanding them without changing them.
About Dr. Maartje
Dr. Maartje is not a coach who read some books. She is a clinical neuropsychologist with almost 20 years of diagnostic and treatment experience across some of the most complex presentations in the field.
Over the course of her career, she has diagnosed and treated personality disorders, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety and depressive disorders, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. She earned her Master's degree in Clinical Neuropsychology in 2008, headed an outpatient neuropsychology clinic by 2011, and led a specialist clinic in adult ADHD shortly after. Her certifications include CBT, DBT, CBT for Adult ADHD, Schema-Focused Therapy, and EMDR.
After moving to the United States, she pursued her PhD — and channeled everything she had learned into building EMPRYNT™, a methodology designed to reach where traditional approaches stop.
What EMPRYNT™ Is
EMPRYNT stands for Empowering Pattern Reprogramming Yielding Neuropsychological Transformation.
The methodology integrates neuropsychology, clinical psychology, nervous system regulation, and pattern-based therapeutic models — working directly with the mechanisms that drive behavior, rather than only analyzing them.
Three things happen in the EMPRYNT™ process:
Your core relational and emotional patterns are identified — not conceptually, but clinically. The origin of those patterns is understood — where they formed, what need they were meeting, why they have been so resistant to change. And then they are rewired — at the level of the brain and nervous system where they actually live. This is what allows change to move from temporary insight to lasting transformation.
EMPRYNT™ vs. Traditional Therapy
Both offer genuine value. They are not in competition. Traditional therapy is irreplaceable — particularly when what someone needs most is to be witnessed and held, in times of grief, loss, or acute emotional pain, rather than actively working to change a pattern. There is absolutely a time and a place for it.
EMPRYNT™ builds on what traditional therapy provides. It extends the work beyond insight and into the brain and nervous system — where patterns are not just understood, but changed.
For the person who has already done significant therapeutic work and finds themselves still repeating the same relational cycles — EMPRYNT™ is where the next layer of work happens.
