22qMinded-NL

Here, you don't have to explain 22q over and over again.

Are you a parent, worried about your child’s development, their behaviour at home or school, or simply how your family is holding up? Do you have 22q yourself, and are you looking for a better handle on stress, school, work, or relationships, without having to explain what 22q means every single time? I know 22q inside out.

Feel free to book a short, no-obligation 15-minute call.

Get in touch.

You’ll hear back from me within two working days.

I’m Sasja Noriko Duijff. Since 2003, I’ve worked with children, young people, and adults with 22q, and their families. You can read more about my background on the About page.

22qMinded International

22qMinded-NL is my Dutch practice: personal, direct, and close to home. But 22q doesn’t stop at the border. That’s why I’ve teamed up with Dr. Linda Campbell in Australia to build 22qMinded International, making knowledge about 22q accessible worldwide. Think free guides like “What if you looked at it differently? A trauma-informed lens on 22q,” webinars, and a growing international network of experts.

What Linda and I create ourselves follows the same principle you’ll find here: understand first, act second.
