I am married and mother of three wonderful daughters. I work at
the Medical Center Soesterberg and at the Medical Center Sint Jan Laren NH.
During my Law studies at the University of Amsterdam, I realized that inner awareness as a path to healing, meaning, and the role that the body plays in this, captured my interest. This led me (back) to Shiatsu and later to Focusing.
Shiatsu Therapy
This kind of Bodywork helps with inner body awareness, balance, and how to support yourself mentally and physically:
HBO Degree in Zen Shiatsu Therapy (4 years)
Namikoshi Shiatsu (1 year)
Japanese Treatment Techniques: Acupuncture | Moxa | Cupping | GuaSha (1 year)

What fascinated me, was that Shiatsu and Focusing both assume self-healing capacity.
