My passion for health and optimization has been a consistent thread throughout my life. When I faced major digestive issues and chronic health problems during and after pregnancy, I grew weary and concerned about the conventional “take a pill” approach. This was the approach that doctors, with good intentions and very little time, were guiding me toward. In response, I embarked on a journey of self-study, extensive reading, Functional Medicine, and, most importantly, reconnecting with my own body, intuition, and inner wisdom.
Inspired by these experiences, I enrolled in the Institute of Integrative Nutrition’s Holistic Health Coaching program in 2022 to gain more clarity on my own health and pursue my deep-rooted passion for helping others do the same.
Along my path, I personally witnessed the profound impact of the gut-brain connection, healing anxiety and depression rooted in gut dysbiosis caused by a parasite, a dysregulated nervous system, food and histamine intolerances, and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). I also battled mold toxicity shortly after moving to the Netherlands.
This transformative experience became a catalyst for significant change in my life, prompting me to reevaluate pillars like nutrition, movement, community, purpose, sleep, mindset, and stress management—all elements we can explore together. My journey has been one of alchemy, transforming fear into courage, pain into purpose, and embracing authenticity.
Holistic health coaching, for me, is about guiding you toward a deeper understanding of your body and its needs. As a coach, my mission is to assist you in unraveling the layers of knowledge within yourself, facilitating transformative change.
In addition to being a certified health coach, I am also a certified 200-hour yoga teacher.
I have a deep passion for learning and am deeply committed to expanding my knowledge and skills on topics and tools that support my clients.
