Welcome to Studio Shakti

I’m Marieke, a professional photographer based in Groningen, The Netherlands, capturing the essence of transformative spaces worldwide. With a background in Kundalini Bodywork and de-armouring, I bring a deep sensitivity to the energy and emotion present during retreats. I work intuitively and respectfully, blending in with your group while documenting the powerful moments that unfold.

Fluent in both Dutch and English, I’m able to connect effortlessly with diverse teams and participants. Whether you're hosting a retreat, training, or ceremony, I’m here to capture it all—soulful, raw, and real.

Photography

My work is a mix of analogue and digital photography. I work with women in 1:1 sessions, (mixed gender) group spaces, and sacred gatherings, capturing the depth of retreats, ceremonies, and rituals worldwide. Each frame is an invocation—a reflection of presence, power, and truth.

Kundalini Bodywork

Kundalini Bodywork is an alchemical process that prepares the body to awaken and support the flow of kundalini energy. This deeply integrative practice engages your full being—body, mind, heart, and sexuality—to release unprocessed trauma, emotions, and pain, making space for the pure, unhindered flow of life force.
