What can you expect in the first session?
In the first consultation we will map out what you want to achieve or change, and how we will approach it. I don't use one specific method, with every client it's a unique journey and process. I can analyse issues very fast, I love quick results. Everybody has different questions and goals. Also, I will discuss with you whether I am the most suitable person for that process. Maybe I feel there is a person that can support you better. I have many people in my network that are excellent therapists and teachers, all with their unique skills. Most importantly we will look at underlying repetitive patterns that play a role in your life. The aim is to make sabotaging habits automatically fade into the background. The result is that your life becomes easier, lighter and you achieve whatever you want effortlessly.
If not now, then when?
As a child I was always ridiculed when doing sports. I was slow, chubby, easily distracted, dreamy and clumsy. Not the favourite of my sports teachers at school. I decided one day at age 12, after being laughed at for the umpteenth time, to never do sports again. And I kept that promise for a long time. I adopted an arrogant ‘sport is for uneducated people’ attitude. Besides that, I developed an eating disorder.
My weight fluctuated between 48 and 83 kilos. I suffered tremendously and needed ten years of therapy to overcome my eating disorders.
But then my 50th birthday arrived. And I realised I had achieved everything I wanted, but never had dared to enter a gym. My secret dream: I wanted to get fit as hell. But I had to overcome a lot of resistance, fear and trauma.
That journey started seven years ago.
I am still often insecure about doing sport. But now I have a six pack! And I can’t even begin to describe the amazing feeling of being fit, strong and sexy!
And I definitely have the experience to help you overcome your fears, resistance and insecurities about movement and getting fit.
I can’t wait to start your fitness journey!
Let's Talk About sex (Women's Circle)
Whether you’re straight, gay, or somewhere in between, women’s sexuality often gets boxed into expectations: being desirable, meeting standards, or not being discussed at all. In this circle, we’ll toss those outdated ideas out the window and have open, judgment-free conversations about what sexuality means for you as a woman. Whether it’s about desires, intimacy, or insecurities, we’ll explore how to experience your sexuality on your own terms – without it being about pleasing others or ticking societal boxes.
Women’s sexuality is often wrapped in expectations to look or behave a certain way, but what happens when we go deeper? In this session, we’ll explore the richness of female sexuality with openness and plenty of humor. We’ll talk about desires, insecurities, and how we can reclaim our sex lives – not for validation or perfection, but for our own pleasure and empowerment. Spoiler: it’s not about meeting anyone else’s expectations.

Success and Status Anxiety (Women's Circle)
Whether it’s about who can multitask the most, who’s rocking the best outfit, or who’s crushing their inbox the fastest—many women unknowingly find themselves in a sort of competition. But honestly, why? And with whom? In this session, we’ll poke fun at the pressure to always perform and explore how status anxiety and the drive to succeed affect our relationships and self-image. We’ll laugh at the ridiculousness of constantly comparing ourselves and discover how to find true satisfaction without feeling like we’re stuck in an endless race.
Let’s face it, who really wins when you’re trying to be the best version of yourself and the woman next door every single day? We’ll talk about why this invisible competition is utterly absurd, how to stop playing the “who’s juggling more balls” game, and how to draw strength from genuine connections. Because, honestly, who’s keeping score? Hint: absolutely no one!
