My Story
I know what it means to be in pain, unfortunately.
Especially the days around my period were like hell since puberty. Severe menstrual pains made it impossible for me to function. I would lie curled up in a ball in my bed, preferably as still as possible because the slightest movement would cause the pain to start again in full force, even with the necessary painkillers. When I tried to get up to eat something or watch a bit of TV, I would often faint from the pain. I had tried the pill, but I had so many side effects from it, such as high blood pressure and excessive sweating, that it was no solution.
Every month the same story, for years... It was really frustrating me.
Because I always felt that there had to be another, better solution for my own pain story, I started my acupuncture training after my studies in physiotherapy. Thanks to Chinese Medicine, I learned to understand what went wrong energetically in my body during my menstruation. I finally got a grip on my pain. What a relief to be able to live normally again while being a woman!
Since I have personally experienced the impact pain can have on your daily life and on your mental-emotional functioning, it is my great passion to help people who are being lived by their chronic pain. I know how important it is to get breathing space again, to be able to live pain-free again.
Because a life without pain is an absolute prerequisite for feeling healthy and happy.
My working method and my philosophy.
Your story is central to me. Not just the pain you feel now, but also the path you have taken to this point – physically, emotionally and mentally. I believe that every complaint carries a message, a signal from your body that wants to be heard.
During our sessions I take the time to really listen to you. Together we connect the puzzle pieces of your complaints with what your body is trying to tell you. By combining this with my expertise in energetic medicine, we work specifically on what your body and mind need. This goes beyond just enlightenment; it is about restoring balance and creating space for change.
You deserve a life where pain no longer plays the leading role. Let's discover together what your body needs to get back into harmony.
I find it very important in my work to be able to give the best of myself. That is why I continue to specialize in my profession.
To strengthen my energetic body and refine my intuition, I have a disciplined daily practice of Qigong, yoga and meditation.
That connection with my own energetic body is essential, because the more balanced I am, the better I can sense and guide your energy.
MY OWN HEALTH JOURNEY
When I was a teenager, my period turned my life upside down. I had PMS, which made me emotionally unstable and angry with everyone around me, I had migraines during the first days of my period and I suffered a lot from prolonged excessive bleeding. All the medications that my doctors tried to prescribe for me gave me many side effects that even worsened my condition. My condition worsened and at the age of 16 I developed depression with panic attacks. At that time, when I was following the path of Western medicine, I felt like I was never really heard and that I was always rejected.
Finally I went to an acupuncturist, my situation changed and step by step I got my health back.
After being inspired by what I had been through all those years, I made a promise to myself that I would help as many people as possible, so that they would no longer have to suffer like I did, without hope or treatment options.
Helping other women with their health problems on both emotional and physical level is my great passion. Using the knowledge of Classical Chinese Medicine and working with harmonizing the meridians during Distance Energetic Healings makes me happy!
I love being able to help people every day and I put all my energy, passion and dedication into my work because it is a big part of who I really am. It is not just a job, it is my mission that defines my purpose in this life!
