An introduction about me. I am a dedicated health coach, yoga teacher, and yoga therapist in training. My passion is to support people on their journey to better health and well-being.
My academic background in social work and coaching forms a strong foundation for working with people. Over the years, I have supported individuals and groups in managing stress, resolving conflicts, and enhancing overall well-being in my professional fields. These roles have sharpened my skills in addressing complex needs, guiding behaviour change, and fostering resilience.
My personal journey, shaped by challenges like Hashimoto’s and burnout, has taught me the importance of holistic health approaches. These approaches are essential for achieving lasting change and improving overall health. Through my own experience, I realized that holistic methods are often overlooked in traditional healthcare. This insight motivated me to deepen my knowledge and start my own business to help others overcome obstacles and improve their well-being. Whether you’re struggling with chronic stress, burnout, or seeking balance, my goal is to guide you toward sustainable, positive change.
Breath as a key resource for healing and well-being
I am currently pursuing an 875-hour yoga therapy certification at The Yoga Therapy Institute in Amsterdam, which complements my professional and academic background. My training covers specialized areas such as trauma-informed yoga therapy, endocrine and immune system disorders, digestive issues, musculoskeletal problems, nervous system & degenerative diseases and pain management.
In my training, I learned how essential the breath is to overall health. Often overlooked in therapy plans, my coaching and yoga therapy highlight breathing as a cornerstone for healing and transformation. By improving the way we breathe, we can lower stress, boost physical performance, and improve emotional balance.
A Holistic Approach to Your Well-Being
My approach in health coaching and yoga therapy combines the best of academic knowledge, professional experience, and holistic techniques. Together, we work on building sustainable lifestyle habits through strategies in movement, nutrition, stress management, and breathing techniques. This personalized, holistic approach addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of health, empowering you to take control of your well-being.
With the right guidance, lasting change is within reach. Whether your goal is to manage chronic conditions, prevent burnout, or simply improve your quality of life, I am here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to create a healthier, more balanced future.
