Here We Go!
I'm Cecile—and I can make anything!
All I need is a tutorial, and I can renovate a bathroom or braid an elaborate bridal hairstyle.
I trained as a psychologist and graduated from art school. Still, I couldn’t find my place in a regular job—not even when I thought I had found my calling creating corporate illustrations for government communication. Even though I was good at it, it didn’t feel right. Something was missing, and I didn’t feel much joy.
At the same time, something deeply intense and life-altering happened within my family—something that crossed every possible boundary. It made me stop and reflect.
I started asking myself: Who am I, really? What kind of family do I come from?
I let everything go. I began renovating my home, creating personal work—and most importantly, I sought guidance.
'IAM THE BIRD'
Cecile Reijnders
Through coaching, I discovered that I’m highly sensitive. I learned how to feel again. And not just a little—I discovered I can feel a lot! Not only the energy in a room or the emotions of people around me, but even those of people I haven’t even met.
While drawing and painting, I discovered something remarkable: when I move my hands across the paper, I can feel the people and emotions I’m creating for. I see images. I hear messages.
I’m discovering my own strength, and I notice how far I can see—just like the birds I love to draw and paint.
As I look at my work, I realize: birds are powerful spirit animals. They connect the sky with the earth, and they carry messages.
And suddenly, I see it clearly—I am just like the birds.
Now, with two Reiki certificates under my belt, I feel my strength even more deeply. I sense a connection with both the universe and the earth, and I pass that energy on—through my hands, my drawings, and the colors—to you.
My birds are here to remind you of your own strength and inner power. They give you wings—so you can fly on your own.
There. I said it. 😉
I wonder—do you recognize something of yourself in this?
