About Me
I am Brussels based yoga teacher and storyteller for tv and media. As a dynamic person, I got in touch with yoga in order to calm my restless legs and busy mind.
What I found blew me to pieces. I experienced how energy could be shifted by working with the breath, how grief could be released through the body and how mental obstacles could be removed through working with the mind. I started studying yoga philosophy and anatomy because I wanted to understand the roots of these ancient practices. What followed was a deepdive into different studies, both ancient and modern which continue until today.
If am not on my mat, I work in TV as a content creator. I love to connect with friends and family, eat good food in good company, cycle unpaved roads and dance.
What does a session look like?
As we grow up, life puts on extra layers and we start to protect ourselves, which can start to show in the form of physical pain, superficial breathing, restlessness, insomnia or other stressrelated diseases.
How we breathe, sleep, move or get stuck often tells a lot more than our rational mind does. Too many layers can veil our true essence and make it hard to find our way back home. In my 1:1 sessions, I start with the body as a gateway into the self. I help you to listen, (re)connect and go inwards through breathing practices, meditation and movement.
I work with the body and the mind from a yogic and ayurvedic perspective, but firmly state that I am not a psychologist or a physiotherapist nor pretend to replace their work.
My work is designed for people who are looking for a holistic approach where body, breath and mind meet.
