About me 

​

I support women in different stages of women's health: from fertility (preconception) through pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester, as an ayurvedic practitioner specialized in fertility and pregnancy. 

 

I hold a B.sc. and MA degree and have worked for a quantitative research company in The Netherlands. My passion for research and modern science is embedded in my DNA. Growing up with a dad working in the medical field it was inevitable. However, my own healing journey brought me to holistic, ancient (Eastern and Indigenous) and mind-body centered practices. When 14 years ago the Western doctors told me I would have to take medication for the rest of my life, Ayurveda helped me to solve the disease in 3 months. My symptoms never came back. 

 

My mission is to bridge the two worlds. Now is the time, more than ever, to combine ancient wisdom and modern practices, to empower women in their reproductive journey. You can transcend past events, trauma, pregnancy loss and even reproductive age to a healthy family life you desire. When we become aware of our innate power we can create the life we want.
