Who are we?
The Sacred Gate is founded by Liv Van Weddingen and David Imhoof.
David Imhoof
Alchemist · Embodied Mentor · Somatic Teacher
My work invites people into a deeper relationship with their body, as intelligence, as compass, as source. I move at the intersection of structure and energy, nervous system and awareness, technique and intuition.
I accompany both clients in therapeutic processes and practitioners who wish to refine their touch, deepen their perception, and expand their presence. My focus is on opening inner spaces, supporting regulation, and allowing life force to flow freely again.
The space I hold is one of clarity, grounding, and deep listening. What emerges there is real: confidence, orientation, presence and a renewed intimacy with the wisdom of the body.
I weave my embodied wisdom into 1:1 bodywork sessions, mentorships and courses that invite real transformation through the body.
In this life, I am the father of Valentina which I enjoy deeply. She gives so much meaning and sense to my life. I slow down in nature, in moments of yin, where everything softens. The theatre is my second nature, where I live, create, and breathe as an actor and director. I’m a lover of good coffee, of art that moves something real and my heart belongs to Liv.
My core element is Wood 4 and I am a generator in Human Design with a Profile: 2/4 - The Hermit / The Heart Connector.
I am a man who deepens in solitude
and connects in truth, offering a space where real transformation happens through trust.
Liv Van Weddingen
Alchemist · Bodyworker · Mentor · Process Facilitator
For the past twenty years, I have guided women and men through profound transformations and pivotal life decisions. Cultivating body awareness is the primary key in this process. Those who establish a deep connection with their body naturally experience a deeper connection with their soul.
This embodied contact also helps people navigate life from a place of inner knowing and wisdom. My focus is always on the whole being and how to have a spiritual life as a human being.
My guidance is deep, opening, expansive, precise and sometimes a bit provocative. Through my presence, I invite people into clarity, action and radical honesty. I bridge the world of bodywork with the tangible realization of a life that truly brings joy, by elevating awareness both in the body and around one’s unique way of functioning.
In this life, I am the mother of Hannah, Elias and Jozefien. Motherhood doesn’t always come easy to me, yet my children are my greatest teachers, guiding me through life. Yin, my golden retriever, walks beside me as my compagnon de route, a silent witness to my days.
As long as I live, I will write. Words are my second love language, physical touch my first. Through writing, I give shape to life, to what is felt but not yet spoken. Four books written and still… the story continues in every word I share.
In the spaces in between, I soften into the sun, wander through forests, meet the sea, or indulge in a dinner that feels like art. I am in love with life and deeply devoted to David, loving him across all dimensions.
My core element is Fire. In Human Design I am a Manifesting Generator with a 5/1 profile: The Heretic/The Investigator.
I am not here to be understood by everyone. I am are here to see clearly, to feel deeply and to speak what is true before others dare to name it. I don’t follow paths, I reveal them.
When we (David and Liv) meet, something opens that does not belong to this world alone: a universe unfolds.
Distance lives between Switzerland and Belgium, yet it has never been able to separate us. It only asked us to create our own language, a language made of energy, of sensing, of knowing beyond words.
From the very first moment we met, we knew we belonged together, brought into each other’s lives by the unseen, by the spirits.
We create art in the way we move, in the way we speak, in the way we wear each other’s clothes and become each other without losing ourselves.
We are different. And deeply the same. Rooted in one shared value: beauty.
We support, we mirror, we expand.
We feel each other across distance. We speak without speaking.
We are in love: with each other, with ourselves, with life itself.
Not as two people trying to complete one another, but as two beings fully alive, drinking from life with both hands.
In the field we create together, love becomes tangible. Alive. Embodied.
And we are not afraid to give ourselves to it. Fully.
This is what we offer. Not a method, not a promise but a field.
A living space where love and connection can be remembered again.
