For as long as I can remember, I’ve been curious by the mystery of life, and the vibrant life surrounding us. Nature and creativity has always been my friend, my inspiration and my healing. Together with the interaction with other people. I love sharing and hearing stories. I started doing this in theatre as an actrice, after finishing the theatre school of Jacques Lecoq in Paris. Shortly after that I also discovered the joy of communicating directly with people-on themes that I feel passionate about and believe to be of service to the whole (deep healing, consciousness, nature connection). This led me to write a lot, organize workshops, and speak in front of various audiences such as mental health care institutes, schools, businesses, and members of the royal family and the president of the Netherlands in 2022, during our the annual celebration called ‘Prinsjesdag’.
I experienced different traumas as a child. This is what has pushed me, and continues to move me to heal, learn more about myself and the world, and become a more present and conscious human being. Traveling and different holistic practices is what helps me to bring myself back in contact with my true nature. I’ve lived for several months in a buddhist monastery in the tradition of Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh. What has also helped and inspired me is somatic work, meditation, inner child work, shadow work, breath work, and psychedelic and non-psychedelic plant medicine. I want to continue to learn and grow in order to be of service to the whole. I recently started the two year program of Awareness Facilitator with Satya.
I also work with children through mindfulness and theatre workshops. The core of my work has always been to provide a nurturing space, encouraging them to express themselves, and getting to know their inner selves and the world around them. This experience has been fulfilling and enriching. I continue to do this, but mostly in smaller groups (to have more attention for each child). I organise these workshops myself, and I work in The Netherlands for Jeugd Theater de Krakeling, Sep, and Cpunt.
Besides creating and sharing, I enjoy the simple presence of being alive on this earth. My happiness comes from the peace within I feel when I am present and connected to my true nature and nature itself. Or when I allow myself to connect with others. I am eternally grateful for the mystery of life and the divine connection that is present inside all of us. Our authentic self is a gift to the world and the people around us.
