About you
“You want mexperience honour control over your health, by learning what your body needs. For more energy, peace of mind and fewer complaints.”
You feel something is wrong. You don't feel sick, but you are not comfortable in your own skin either. You notice that you get up with less and less energy. You also have less and less energy left at the end of the day. To exercise, or just for fun things. You also notice that you increasingly suffer from ‘vague complaints’. Perhaps you recognise that you suffer more and more often from a bloated stomach. Or you are increasingly troubled by hormonal/cycle-related complaints.
Too often, health issues in women not solved, understood and/or properly investigated. You may have been told that it's ‘part of it’, when in fact, you don't know your own body like that. Or you are prescribed advice or medication that only masks your symptoms. You don't feel heard.
The general practitioner or specialist sends you home, telling you to take it easy, but you’re left with the feeling that something isn't right.
I want to change this, by sharing knowledge and applying a holistic approach that looks at all relevant areas: your hormones, your diet, how and how much you move, how you deal with stress, how you sleep and much more. In my programmes, we work on improving your symptoms by developing a lifestyle that suits you. That way, we make sure your complaints no longer get in your way.

Is your complaint not listed here? Feel free to contact me to see if I can still do something for you.
Mainstream medicine is invaluable - especially for acute complaints. But I was also running into its limits as a patient. In the end, it was the integrative and lifestyle approach that helped me address the root causes and recover. I am now symptom-free - and that experience has become my greatest motivation.
In my practice, I combine the best of both mainstream and complementary medicine. As a doctor and an expert by experience, I counsel women with intestinal complaints, hormonal imbalance, burn-out complaints or an autoimmune disease, among others. You are also welcome if you ‘just’ want more energy and balance. My approach is holistic, personal and rooted in a Christian view of man and health.
About me
Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by the human body and health. This interest - combined with my desire to do something for others - led me to study Medicine. But during my internships, I noticed that I looked at health and disease differently from many of my colleagues.
In regular healthcare, I saw how often symptoms are treated with medication, without really looking at the underlying causes of complaints. It is precisely this aspect - looking for what is going on deeper - that I find not only interesting, but also essential for true and lasting health.
Voor mij draait het dan ook niet alleen om symptomen of een diagnose. Ik wil begrijpen wie jij bent. Hoe je leeft. Wat je eet. Wat je bezighoudt. Waar je spanning vandaan komt. Daarr ligt vaak de sleutel tot duurzame verandering.
Om mijn kijk op gezondheid te verdiepen, volgde ik – naast mijn opleiding tot arts – aanvullende opleidingen en cursussen: integrative medicine, orthomoleculaire geneeskunde en verdiepende scholing rondom darmgezondheid, hormonen en auto-immuunziekten. Daarnaast volgde ik verschillende “coach” opleidingen, zoals een opleiding van Gabor Mate en christelijke coach opleidingen.
At the end of my fellowships, I became ill myself. I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder. I became a patient in a system of which I myself was a part.
About us
In my processes, I look at your health situation from my regular basis and holistic viewpoint. In doing so, I guide you towards healing of the body, thinking and feeling.
Physically, you can think about diet, exercise, relaxation, stress, sleep, biorhythms and the nervous system. Mentally, it's about your thoughts, mindset and behavioural patterns. Emotionally, we look at whether you can sense physical signals and translate them into what your body needs. This includes needs and setting boundaries.
Om de fysieke component in kaart te brengen zetten we gedegen laboratoriumonderzoek in. We werken met een persoonlijk health plan, which I design specifically for your personal situation. We do not only work with knowledge, but also with exercises, where we really go into depth. I believe in direct 1:1 coaching. I find it important that you feel that I am standing next to you during the process. That is why I have limited space in my programmes. I always work with an extensive introduction prior to the start of a process to see if there is a mutual click. This is because I believe that a safe treatment relationship is very important for healing.
During a course, together we look for the underlying causes for the complaints you are experiencing. Then we will work on these factors together. I am there to guide you on this path to support your body's self-healing capacity.
FAQs
What is discussed during the first (intake) session?
The intake is important to properly assess your health situation. The intake is always preceded by an extensive introductory meeting (30 minutes). If there is a mutual click, we start the process. During the intake, we go deeper into your personal situation and the complaints you experience. We work holistically by mapping the 3 pillars (physical, mental, emotional).
Who are your clients?
Although I treat both men and women, my focus is on treating women. The reason for this is that I have specialized in women's health. The female body functions differently from the male body due to our cycle. It is more sensitive to stress, making a holistic approach even more important.

What can I expect in general?
Because we work together in a holistic way, you can expect to feel better and more comfortable in your own skin. In addition, you can expect complaints you are experiencing to diminish. We will work on your health on a physical, mental and emotional level. I am here to give you the best possible personal advice and to guide you through this transformation. It is important that you understand that I am there to keep you accountable and that you yourself are willing to take responsibility.
Are courses reimbursed by the health insurer?
Treatments are not covered by health insurance. However, because I am affiliated with the MBOG (Medical Professional Association for Orthomolecular Medicine), a small portion of the costs can be claimed from the insurer in the case of supplementary insurance. The deductible will be not addressed.
Do you also work with clients online?
Certainly, I have already conducted many treatments entirely online. If possible, we will meet in person for the first session, and then, as a rule, we will continue online. Adjustments can be made by mutual agreement. live appointments may be possible more frequently.
