I grew up in an environment centred around creativity, nature, rhythm and the whole child. My fascination with healthy food, herbs and natural healing began early. It was simply part of me, and it never really disappeared. That same curiosity and open mind still shape the way I look at health today.

Competition sailing was an important part of my youth. I became Belgian Hobie Cat 16 champion twice. Out on the water, I learnt to feel, react quickly, trust and move with whatever came my way. You cannot control everything. Sometimes life asks you to pay attention, adjust your course and keep sailing.

I grew up internationally, living in different countries and cultures. From an early age, this taught me that there is rarely only one right way to live, eat or see the world. Throughout it all, my parents, brothers, sister and their families have remained my anchors. We may live far apart, but our bond is close and invaluable. To me, home is not simply a place. It is, above all, the people you can always come home to.

For more than 30 years, I have worked internationally across project management, consultancy, operations and leadership. I am good at bringing structure to complexity, spotting connections, bringing people together and turning ideas into reality. I still do this work today. It is not a previous version of me, but an important part of who I am.

I deliberately bring that side of myself into Honest Healing. Insight is valuable, but ultimately it needs to become something practical that works in a real and often busy life.

I am a mother to four nearly grown-up children. Motherhood, work, relationships, change and responsibility have taught me a great deal about resilience, caring for others and finding my way back to balance, time and again.

Throughout it all, my faith and values have remained an important foundation: integrity, staying true to who you are, not losing yourself, not giving up when life is difficult, and continuing to look for what feels right. And perhaps most importantly: caring well for others does not mean forgetting yourself along the way.

My interest in health and natural healing never left me. At some point, I wanted to move beyond reading, experiencing, and trying things out, and truly understand the foundations. So I ventured out to complete a two-year, science-based Integrative Nutritional Therapy & Life Coaching programme at the New School of Nutritional Medicine in London, graduating with distinction. That was where the pieces of the puzzle came together, and a lifelong fascination became a solid professional foundation.

Honest healing isn't a career change; it’s the place where my worlds collide. To me, health goes beyond just nutrition. Lifestyle, stress, emotions, energy, nature, and consciousness are all interconnected. Food and nature. Knowledge and feeling. Structure and intuition. The explainable and, occasionally, a little bit of magic. That’s why I don’t approach things from a single, fixed perspective, but rather focus on what is relevant to you. Whether you want to understand the basics, have a specific health concern, or are looking for personal guidance: together, we will find more clarity, balance, and confidence in what works for you. That is Honest Healing. And it’s far from finished. Which is a good thing.
