Where I come from

I was born and raised in the Netherlands, and part of my roots lay in Surinam. This page started with a travel blog, were I shared about my travels.

 

I have been travelling and working (abroad) as a registered veterinary nurse since 2018. I have worked with wildlife, such as Elephants, monkeys, seals, sea turtles. I could not stay longer than 3 months in the Netherlands or felt like travelling again.

​

Since 2022 this travelling lifestyle has gone more inwards.  Travelling abroad has thought me a lot about who I am away from friends and family, and it thought me about my ability to adapt and open my mind and heart to new lifestyles, cultures and how I handle different situations.

 

It also taught me a lot about the journey that happens within. What a present inner critic I had and how I had felt like a grey sheep in my hometown. It helped me to meet many like-minded people out there.

I have been guided on my journey to be kinder to myself, to live my life authentically, and to learn to be unapologetically me, through: yoga, meditation, therapy, tantra and women circles. This journey with its ups and downs, I believe, never stops and we do not have to go through things alone.

Yoga
Yoga has helped me a lot with feeling love for myself and connecting through my emotions and my body. 

​

My best friend and former roommate organised woman circles which helped me a lot with validating my emotions and feeling held as the person that I am, besides my therapist. This is why I have started giving women circles myself.

Tantra
Tantra is another heart-opening experience or better said lifestyle, where I love to grow as a facilitator for women. Tantra has helped and helps me so much to learn about my needs, desires, pleasure  and boundaries, and it helped me to deepen my relationships with myself and others. I wish for everyone to feel the connection to themselves and feel confident to speak up for themselves.

 

Home​

Since 2024 I live in Cologne. I love to be in nature, and to express myself creatively through painting or drawing and I love baking cakes and cooking healthy meals. I love dancing, learning from others and supporting others in embodying all that they are.
