What I love:
I love stories. All sorts of stories, expecially love stories of course, but also stories that take us on a journey along life's winding roads, with all the unforeseen twists, the joyful adventures and the inevitable challenges that are part of it.
My childhood dream was to become a journalist and a writer and I'm really happy I could make that dream
come true. I have worked for national broadcasting services, for newspapers and magazines.
Around the age of 30 I got intrigued by the power of symbols, rituals and the path of inner growth,
discovering psychotherapy, meditation and yoga. I published several books about these themes and currently have several ebooks on offer. I also offer webinars and online courses.
In 2007 I graduated as an integrative psychotherapist and in 2011 as a Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher.
In New Zealand I graduated as a celebrant at the Auckland Celebrant School and I got registered as a Marriage Celebrant
in 2013.
I'm also very fond of dancing. I dance salsa, Argentine tango, African dance and freestyle, conscious dance.
I have been a party deejay for 20 years, nowadays I mainly deejay at Ecstatic Dance Events and I regularly brighten up our local market with joyful world beats & grooves. And, once in a while, I still throw a good home party in the mix…
