Past-Life Research

R

esearch-based past-life readings and spiritual guidance exploring subconscious patterns, identity, creativity, relationships, and life direction.

Drawing on years of reincarnation research, karmic astrology, tarot, historical cross-referencing, archetypal pattern analysis, and the ongoing development of the Soul Constellation Map, these sessions investigate how recurring themes may continue to shape present-day experiences, relationships, creative expression, and personal development.



What if the roots of recurring emotional patterns, creative impulses, fears, attractions, or personal struggles extend beyond the boundaries of a single lifetime?
Through a structured yet intuitive research process, I explore how subconscious narratives, symbolic continuities, and recurring archetypal themes may continue to influence confidence, visibility, relationships, creative expression, and personal direction in the present.



Sessions may include the exploration of possible past-life identities, symbolic roles, emotional echoes, and recurring life themes — as frameworks for reflection, insight, integration, and expanded self-understanding.

Testimonials

I did a reading during What Hackers Yearn Festival 2025. Honestly, I went in thinking, ‘this is going to be a load of nonsense.’ But then she started saying all these things, and the probability of that happening is so tiny. I even calculated it afterwards, and the probability turned out to be smaller than being struck by lightning ten times.

Mike Jones

Giek is better than Ayahuasca in reminding me of who I truly am. She embodies the most holographic collective reflection in the New Earth’s grid at this time.

In 2023 I met her irl for the first time. At that moment, I re-established hope in humanity’s future and started to finally look back at my past lives in a way that supports me to fall deeper into my core essence in this lifetime. 
Giek_1 believes in herself. That means a lot.

Nataliya

Having known Giek since a long time, she has deeply inspired my spiritual development just by living her mission. Already moderately aware of my own soul journey and purpose, her past life readings contained chillingly compelling insights and have altered my outlook on life’s fundamental questions forever.

Victor Evink

When I first met Giek, I felt that she believed in me. She was kind and sensitive to my feelings, and we connected deeply, making me feel safe to be myself. She also reflected my dark side, allowing me to bring light to areas I had never explored before. It wasn’t just about speaking but also connecting beyond words. Lovely Giek, thank you for those beautiful moments we shared!

Natalia Shumskaya

I met Giek, a talented artist, visionary, and psychic, at the Occulture Festival in Berlin, where they gave me a deeply insightful past life reading. Their personal approach made the insights feel specific and relevant, providing clarity and revealing patterns I hadn’t considered before. I highly recommend Giek to anyone seeking deeper insight into their past lives.

Finn Darrell

I met Giek at the Occulture Festival, where her astonishing tarot skills stood out. Impressed, I got a past life reading, which was both accurate and deeply insightful. She put in a tremendous amount of effort and conducted the readings with great care, helping me understand the connection between my karma and past lives. I feel truly blessed to have experienced her readings.

Yogi Ozguru

Giek1, the artistic identity of Stephanie Smit, is a visionary medium whose work transcends traditional boundaries, channeling raw spiritual revelations into art. Emerging from personal transformation and deep struggle, her creations act as portals between dimensions, evoking emotions beyond the rational. More than expression, her art is a sacred act—an echo from another reality.

Claude Cesar

Just wanted to share my immense love and gratitude for you. Thank you so much again for your support when I was sick when I had candida. Your wisdom and guidance helped me so much. I cannot even tell you. Thank you so much again. I hope to see you one day in person and give you the biggest hug ever.

Nicole Bondurant

Last year I got in touch with Giek’s past life reading skills. She managed to discover several of my past lives. She provided me with information that made me aware of the reasons why I struggle in certain areas of my current life and why I flourish in other areas. Giek came up with practical tips and advice to incorporate into my daily life. Today I’m still in touch with her and I highly recommend her services.

Siebren Z.

A reading with Giek goes further than readings I’ve had in the past. Giek goes beyond the Tarrot reading and gave me insights on astrology and hints at my past lives. It was a wonderful experience and will definitely do it again!

Tyron Winter

As we talked, I suddenly felt a powerful flow of energy moving through me. It felt like something opened inside and I reconnected with myself.

Anonymous

What stood out was Giek’s ability to weave the cards into a meaningful narrative for my path, diving into deeper symbolism and guiding me to reflect on overlooked areas of my life. Her advice was empowering and grounded, offering direction without being prescriptive.

Sara Sellies

I had the privilege of working with Giek, and if you’re looking to dive deeper into yourself and uncover hidden truths, I highly recommend her.  Giek provided a beautiful, safe setting where she guided me through my past lives and worked on my astral chart. Her insight was eye-opening—she revealed that I have blockages from past lives that are preventing me from fully experiencing a spiritual journey.

Wesley

The astrological reading was eye opening. I would recommend everyone to have done it once in their life. Stephanie explained well and clearly how all the planets are related to your life phases and how it is all connected to the life path you are walking. It became clear to me where I have to go in the near future to fully stand in my strength. It also gave me confirmation that I am on the right path and everything happens for a reason.

Emily

The astro reading with Giek was a great experience which led me to more understanding of myself and new insights in my being. She was very clear during the whole reading and very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend it and would even give it as a gift to my friends and family

Alana

After a period in which I lost my life path for a while, I was looking for clarity and a reminder of my right to exist.  An astrological reading provided me with the insights I needed to get back on the right path.  The reading gave me a deeper understanding of my personality and life purpose, and helped me redefine my priorities.

Seger Terpstra

I had an astrology and life purpose reading with Stephanie, because I had some important (business) decisions to make that involved a huge investment. I am so glad I had the chance to get this reading with Stephanie, because it reassured me in my decision making process and made clear what my path is. And I am walking it now ! Thank you so much Stephanie 💛

Nancy David

The reading has given me a new perspective on events from the past and present. I have also gained more confidence in my intuition because of things you have said.

Aran Arunakiri

I really enjoyed my astrology reading with Giek. We dove deep into the gritty details of my chart. Giek is a knowledgeable and incredibly intuitive astrologer. Her readings are insightful, comprehensive and accurate. We went through details of my personality and life path that really hit to the core of what I need to put In action to be in alignment with my higher self and life purpose

What This Work Can Support

People often come to this work while navigating:

  • recurring patterns affecting creativity, confidence, visibility, or life direction
  • relationship dynamics, attachment patterns, emotional intensity, or avoidance
  • unusual emotional or symbolic resonances between partners, collaborators, or significant individuals
  • questions surrounding identity, purpose, transition, or creative expansion
  • inherited narratives around worth, expression, power, recognition, or belonging


In relationship-focused sessions, I may explore recurring symbolic themes, emotional echoes, and possible past-life connections between individuals, examining how these dynamics continue to shape present-day relationships and perceptions.



Rather than offering certainty or reassurance, the work aims to illuminate deeper psychological, symbolic, and emotional patterns operating beneath the surface, creating greater space for conscious reflection, clarity, and informed movement forward.

Research & Methodology

S

ince 2019, I have researched more than 250 past-life cases connected to myself, clients, collaborators, and ongoing artistic research projects.

Over time, this evolved into a hybrid methodology combining intuitive exploration with karmic astrology, tarot, historical cross-referencing, archetypal pattern analysis, and ongoing reincarnation research.



Rather than approaching recurring identities, historical figures, or symbolic resonances as literal proof, I investigate them as archetypal and psychological patterns — asking why particular narratives, emotional themes, or identities emerge at specific moments in a person’s life.



Over the years, this research expanded into the Soul Constellation Map — an evolving interactive archive exploring recurring identities, relationship dynamics, symbolic continuities, creative lineages, and archetypal themes across different historical eras. The constellation can be explored separately as an extension of the broader research.

Artistic Research & Public Work

T

he research explored through these sessions also forms part of a broader interdisciplinary artistic practice spanning lectures, performances, installations, writings, films, and ongoing reincarnation research projects.

Research-based works emerging from this practice have been presented at institutions and festivals including Design Museum Den Bosch, Museum De Lakenhal, Dutch Design Week, and Occulture Festival Berlin.



Projects such as A New World, the Soul Constellation Map, and various lectures, publications, and performance works explore similar questions surrounding memory, identity, archetype, symbolic continuity, and possible reincarnation across time.



The research is currently being expanded into larger public formats, including the Soul Constellation Map, lectures, publications, exhibitions, and future immersive installation environments.

Pricing & Sessions

Sessions are tailored to the depth of research, preparation, and analysis involved.

Pricing & Sessions

Some offerings unfold over time rather than in a single conversation, while others take place as live intuitive, astrological, tarot, or combined guidance sessions. For deeper research trajectories—particularly past-life research sessions—after completing an intake questionnaire, I research your case over several hours or days, allowing for deeper analysis, reflection, and cross-referencing. Findings are typically delivered as a written PDF report, with optional audio, video, or live discussion available when desired.

If you’re new to the work and uncertain which session best fits your questions, you’re welcome to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call or connect via email before booking.
