There are moments in time when something within us or around us shifts and transforms and dramatically alters the balance of our lives, whether emotional, physical, mental or spiritual – sometimes resulting in us never being the same as we were before.
Welcome to my world!

My story
My interest in wellness and well-being began more than 20 years ago, with a deep pull and curiosity toward self-awareness and ongoing self-development.
Living and “being” in a thoughtful way with respect to nature and our beautiful planet is also something very important to me. I’ve studied various traditions that include a deep respect for our energetic connection and responsibility to all that we are and of that which surrounds us.
I am greatly influenced by the teachings of former Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and in 2018 found myself at the summer retreat for 1 week (as a participant) at the wonderful Plum Village, one of his beautiful monastic communities. I highly recommend it if you have the chance to go!
I am a certified mindfulness teacher in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) technique (August 2022, Brussels Mindfulness), am trained to deliver the Finding Peace in a Frantic World program (June 2023, Brussels Mindfulness) and also participated in the 2-day Mindfulness Frame by Frame program with Professor Emeritus Mark Williams for mindfulness trainers (June 2022, KU Leuven).
I also love doing yoga and so completed my training to be a certified yoga teacher. I keep an active membership as a RYT® 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) with the internationally recognized Yoga Alliance.
I am trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa (200-hour training and certification, 2017, Brussels Yoga Loft) and Kids Yoga (training and certification, 2018, Kidding Around Yoga, Brussels Yoga Loft).
I frequently attend trainings for mindfulness, meditation and yoga, among other practices, finding that they deepen my own experience. And when able, I’ve been lucky enough to immerse myself in well-being retreats as part of my personal commitment towards a life based on intention.
My 100+ hours of mindful movement, yoga, meditation and mindful eating sessions that have been delivered to colleagues and community members (both group and private) have been well-attended with positive feedback. I’ve also offered sessions and guidance on mindful walking and connecting with nature and all of the abundance around us.
I have enjoyed this journey immensely!
I have been and continue to be inspired by others and believe there is a lot to be gained from shared experience. This is my motivation for doing what I do and for trying to live in a balanced, connected and mindful way.
I wish the same for you and those I meet along the way!

My approach
Attention is given to the needs of you as an individual and/or the group. Modifications and options for participation are offered to encourage engagement and sensitivity to injuries and other possible trauma.
I also have training, knowledge, experience and/or interest in the following areas, so please let me know if you would like to explore any of these with me:
meditation and mindful living, gardening, spending time in nature, preparing for and recovering from surgery, women’s cycles and life moments, labyrinths, communications and public relations, diversity and anti-racism (ART), behavior and social change, financial literacy, volunteer management, expat living, shamanism, forest walks, ritual and ceremony, breast cancer, music, rhythm and drumming, energy work, community engagement, newcomer support and expat living, kid’s and adult yoga and mindful movement.
My sessions are currently offered in English language (native speaker from Canada), though I do have basic conversational abilities in Flemish and French and will do my best to interpret meaning when helpful.
You never know what can change your life. Sometimes it’s the small things, sometimes it’s the big things, or both. I look forward to the opportunity to help you on your own journey of discovery!
