De Rijzende Feniks (The Rising Phoenix) is a practice for complementary medicine. I work from a holistic vision, looking at the way the body, mind and soul work together as a whole.

If you are not comfortable in your own skin, this often leads to physical symptoms. Acute physical symptoms also have an impact on how you feel. I can help you get to the root of any issues you have, and solve them by activating the body’s self-healing powers.

The phoenix is a symbol of transformation. During treatment, you will explore your inner self, look for your own answers, and learn to trust yourself to find the solutions that are right for you. This will allow you to transform into a ‘better’ version of yourself.

During my successful career in international business, I was often confronted with a rational, cold way of doing business. I felt a more human approach was required, but how? First, I trained in coaching and counselling, studying communication, group dynamics, personal development and trauma processing. I then explored the power of plants, delved into nature and discovered my passion for naturopathy. Naturopathy activates our power of self-healing. This enables our body and mind to clear any blockages and restore themselves.

In my work as a therapist, I use the power of nature and plants. While training as a Naturopathic Energy Therapist, I studied body-oriented psychotherapy, combining my passion for nature and the human psyche. I got to know myself very well. I got more in touch with my own feelings and I now feel more comfortable in my body. This has brought me inner peace, and provided clarity about what I want to do with my life and what suits me. Thus, my new career as a body-oriented therapist was born.

I mainly work with clients who suffer from unexplained physical symptoms or trauma. If you tend to get stuck in problems, if you yearn for motherhood without achieving it, or if you have not been able to process a traumatic experience, please get in touch. Together, we can explore the solutions towards recovery that your own body suggests and that I can measure. This will restore peace to your life and create space for the things you want.
