There is another way of living

For years, I was very good at doing what I thought I should do. Career. Performance. Keeping going. Adapting. Being capable. Pleasing.

From the outside, it looked fine. From the inside, I was getting further and further away from myself.

Then my body made it impossible to keep overriding it. Sleep broke. Energy gone. Rest didn’t fix it. For the first time, I couldn’t just push through — so I had to learn something nobody had taught me: how to listen.

It started with food, because it was the one thing I still had energy for. Then movement — small, supporting, very different from what I’d been taught. Then pleasure, which taught me the most: I got sharper at noticing what I actually wanted, versus what I was doing on autopilot.

Nothing changed overnight. It was small things, repeated — a different choice here, a no there, a growing ability to trust what I felt. Eventually I realised I wasn’t trying to become a new person. I was becoming more myself.

Why The Body exists

I started this work under my own name. Calling the program The Body felt obvious — because the body, not the mind, is where the real listening happens.

The Body grew out of that. My work is about helping women feel safe enough to receive life through the body — to restore connection, rebuild trust, and make room for pleasure, vitality and a slower way of living. Not perfectly. Not all at once. Practically, gently, in real life.

You don’t need my story to belong here. You don’t need to be exhausted, or trying to lose weight, or in crisis. You might just know there’s more available to you — more ease, more trust, more pleasure, more of yourself. That’s enough of a reason.

Voluit het leven in (Some Dutch, let me explain ;-))

My company is called Voluit het Leven In — Dutch for stepping fully into life. Voluit het leven in means living fully: not by doing more, but by living less from conditioning and more from what is true for you. That’s the work I care about.
