I have come a long way before I really connected with my body.
From a young age, food was a way for me to escape reality. I remember a conversation with the pediatrician when I was eight years old and was diagnosed with 'obesity'. I had to go on a diet and soon developed Binge Eating Disorder, an eating disorder characterized by uncontrolled eating binges. During my teenage years I exercised twice a day to compensate for these binges. I became obsessive, did not train for pleasure and imposed all kinds of restrictions on myself. In addition to this obsession, a genuine interest in nutrition, exercise and how the human body works also arose - from this interest I started studying nutrition and dietetics at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. The knowledge I gained during my studies, in combination with a lot of personal growth, has ensured that my eating disorder and the obsessive behavior that came with it are a thing of the past.

I am in contact with myself: I receive signals from my body, such as hunger and satiety, the need for rest or the need for effort, and I listen to them. I no longer suffer from uncomfortable complaints such as lower back pain, headaches, a bloated stomach or other intestinal complaints. I manage to pursue goals without becoming obsessive and losing connection with my body.

I enjoy nothing more than helping other people optimize their mental and physical health. I know from my own experience how difficult the process towards balance can be. But I am also an expert in changing persistent complaints and patterns, things can get better. And I would like to guide you in this. Let me help you get back to the core.
