Bridging Science & Ancient Practice

My journey from forensic psychology to holistic wellness therapy.

My Story

From an acute ward to holistic wellbeing

Over a decade ago, I was working in an acute forensic psychiatric ward. I witnessed how chronic stress and sleep deprivation due to shift work affected me and my colleagues. This experience sparked my journey into understanding the connection between breath, body, mind, and wellbeing.

Today, I help people in The Hague from all walks of life find their way back to themselves through evidence-based techniques.
