​​​​

My professional endeavors have been many and diverse, and were rooted in a fascination with people and especially the way they show and hide themselves, and how they use stories to shape their identity.

I have worked as a fashion stylist, teacher, journalist, brand consultant, producer, trend researcher, magazine editor, film festival manager, movie editor, and documentary filmmaker. However, after making a series of documentary portraits of an array of women for Linda TV called "De Spiegel en Ik' (The Mirror and Me)  I realized that instead of documenting the relationship women have with themselves, and  researching, analyzing and studying the many wonderful and fascinating 'masks' they  wear, I wanted to study how congruence between inside and outside can actually be attained.  I embarked on a two-year course called Women's Wisdom, learned about my own sister-mother-witch-wound, and how to do women's circle work. I also studied systemic coaching and process facilitation, and now I  use these old and new, personal and professional, experiences to host women's workshops that use mythical stories as their outline.

 

My goal and passion is to help women discover their instinctual selves, heal their relationship to the  (wild) feminine, and as a result become more authentic and whole.
