About Me

Throughout my life I’ve been passionate about many things, but one constant thread has always run through it all: A deep desire to help people and contribute to their well-being. I have a background in healthcare, working with children, the elderly, in youth care, and with people with disabilities. For me, the essence of life lies in being there for one another and inspiring each other - with lightness and depth, humor, and lots of love.

Traveling and living in different cultures is also a great passion of mine. After completing my Ayurveda studies in the Netherlands, I spent 1.5 years in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. For about a year, I mostly stayed at an Ayurvedic clinic in India, where I came for treatments for PCOS and Rheumatoid Arthritis and ended up staying to work and study! It was a dream come true - healing my own health while studying and indulging in Indian culture at the same time.

This experience greatly enriched my knowledge and passion for Ayurveda. I have a deep respect for this ancient wisdom, which remains so accurate, effective, and universally applicable even after thousands of years.

This 1.5-year journey taught me a lot about how I can be there for others - and for myself. The concept of “taking care” has taken on a broader meaning. My knowledge of physical and mental health, nutrition, movement, and natural medicine is coming together now. With the belief that everyone is unique and every situation requires a tailored approach, I feel I have developed a solid skill set to guide people on their journey towards health.

What Drives Me?

I’ve always had a deep curiosity about how life works. How everything in life is interconnected, down to the smallest detail. The complexity of the mind and what motivates us as humans. Why do we do what we do? Why do we have certain symptoms and patterns we can’t seem to shake? How do we lose balance? And what can we do to restore it? These questions have always fascinated and driven me. In my own search for a clear, stable mind and a healthy, pain-free body, is where Ayurveda and I have found each other.

Ayurveda provides answers to these questions, logically showing how everything we do has a consequence. By understanding the cause-and-effect nature of life, we can break patterns and address problems at their root. And that’s the key: learning to understand life. The word “Ayurveda” itself means “The Science of Life” (Ayu = life, Veda = knowledge/science).

My Experience

Consultations

Within Ayurveda, I have specialised in mother and child health, with a strong passion for guiding women through pregnancy; from pre-conception to postpartum. I’m also experienced in women’s health, including hormonal imbalances, menstrual issues, puberty, PCOS, and menopause. Although my focus lies here, Ayurveda can offer valuable support for many other health concerns as well. Sometimes small changes in daily life can lead to significant results. If I’m not able to directly assist you, I am happy to consult with colleagues or Ayurvedic doctors. At the moment consultations are available on Ameland and in Groningen, or via video call.

Massages

In India I discovered my passion for massage! I now offer massage sessions on Ameland and in Groningen, suitable for all ages. I’ve seen wonderful results with children as well: They become more aware of their bodies, calm down through the warm oil and touch, and experience greater mental tranquility. During the massage, warm oil enriched with medicinal herbs is used. If there are specific health concerns, the treatment can be tailored accordingly.

My Mission

With love and passion, I guide you towards better health through nutrition and lifestyle advice. Whether you have specific health concerns or wish to improve your overall well-being, together we can work on enhancing your health through targeted adjustments in your diet and lifestyle, tailored to your unique needs.

I strive to be the happiest, healthiest, most present, and self-confident version of myself, and I would love to help you find that version of yourself too. By taking responsibility for our own health, we will gradually improve the world around us. This is my mission: To spread knowledge and raise awareness so that we can restore balance to ourselves, each other and the world.
