ABOUT ME
In the ballet studio, where I spent most of my youth on a near-daily basis, a strong foundation was laid for body awareness, rhythm, and self-expression. After intense life experiences, I’ve also come to know what it means to feel disconnected from inner balance — and which paths can lead the way back.
My expertise deepened through both cognitive and somatic therapies, a variety of trainings and professional studies, and years of guiding others through personal development journeys, one-on-one sessions, and creative photoshoots.
As a paramedical naturopathic therapist and psychosocial care provider, I offer body-oriented therapy that combines introspective focus with hands-on techniques. My sharp observational skills, sensitivity, directness, creativity, humor, curiosity, and professionalism form a broad palette for authentic and impactful sessions.
EDUCATION
I am affiliated with the professional association BATC (Belangen Associatie Therapeut en Consument) and the umbrella organization NAP (Dutch Association for Psychotherapy). This ensures the quality of my work as a practitioner is safeguarded in areas such as practice management, education, continued training, registration, and adherence to professional standards.
My practice is periodically reviewed by an independent agency, and there is ongoing supervision of training and peer consultation. I am also affiliated with a recognized complaints and dispute resolution committee, so clients can count on careful and transparent care.

PHOTOGRAPHY
In addition to my work as a naturopathic therapist, I create portraits and photo series for people who want to challenge themselves creatively and/or capture a special period in their lives through photography. Naturally, I guide this process in a relaxed manner, with full attention and plenty of time.
