My professional endeavors have been many and diverse, and were rooted in a fascination for 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 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 couching and  proces facilitation and now I  use all these old and new, personal and professional, experiences in hosting 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.
