Who am I?
As a human being, my story & as a coach/therapist
Who am I...
Just a little secret between you and me?
Actually, I am an appalled Burgundian, I love well prepared food in top restaurants, such a surprise menu from the chef. You can't make me happier! Together with my husband Bram we regularly look for a nice restaurant or go to the market for fresh ingredients to conjure up a beautiful dish on the table. Of course with a good glass of wine!
With friends and girlfriends I find that also 1 of the best activities, a good conversation while enjoying a snack and drink. My hometown Leiden lends itself well to this.
I also love my sons Pepijn and Stef (2010 and 2012) and our British shorthairs Bibi and Fred. My favorite activities are boot camp, (sea)kayaking and gardening. I love to dance to a good 'live' band (wake me up for cover band 'Komen Lopen', Kensington or Chef's Special). Walking is my favorite thing to do with my sister Saskia, my favorite country in the whole world is Scotland, I would love to have a second home on a Loch (yes that beautiful blue sea above is really in Scotland). I love the forests, but more so the beach, I can look out over the sea for hours and enjoy the changing views. It brings me peace and relaxation, in the Netherlands Terschelling is my favorite for this, I feel at home on this island and try to visit at least once a year.
My life....
Such a smooth path without bumps.... No, it didn't happen that way with me either. In my childhood and as a young adult, I have been hardened by life. Things go the way they go and fortunately I am (and was) afflicted with a strong mindset. The glass is half full, rather than half empty, and I have quite a bit of perseverance. It took me a while before I really found happiness in my private life and I feel that I always had to work hard for it. Our oldest son was already in my belly (with the help of an anonymous donor) when I met my husband and it was really beautiful that he chose us when I was 4 months pregnant. That first year with baby and new husband, was quite tough I can tell you. I had to get to know not 1 new man in my life, but 2 😉 And at 41 I became a mother to our youngest, a gift I never saw coming when I chose single motherhood at 39.
What have I done so far?
For over 25 years I have worked in various HR roles with a lot of coaching during that work on career and questions like: 'What do I want to do with my life...?' About 4 years ago I made the switch to natural medicine by doing the Post-HBO Integral Lifestyle & Vitality Coach, looking at people holistically in totality, body and mind in balance. Well and then I had entered a kind of "candy store" of naturopathy and I started to specialize further. Super cool. Now I mainly work on hormonal complaints, often related to stress, too many lists in the head, physical ailments or problems.
I consider it an honor to guide you (you) to a healthy pregnancy, even if it is not so easy. "Inexplicably infertile," still means there are possibilities, right?
Together we make sure you are in optimal shape (physically & mentally), so that all signals are green for a successful conception and pregnancy. I do that with all the tools, experience and knowledge I have gained over the years. As a coach & therapist I am straightforward, transparent, sometimes confrontational, but also empathic with room for your emotions.
And when you are pregnant, you want to enjoy it as much as possible, without complaints, unprocessed emotions and without too much stress, right? I can help most of my clients with this and they leave feeling fitter and more vital. My greatest happiness is being able to make a small contribution to 1 of the most life-changing events in your life, having a baby.
What will I bring for you?
I have learned such wonderful things over the past few years, tools that I can grab from my backpack whenever I need them.
