Description

Dear community,

Let me introduce myself... 😉

I am a 36 year old creative therapist, yoga teacher and massage therapist who likes to get in touch with other cultural people through music, cooking, dancing, gardening, animal care, contact improvisation, bodywork,...

In the past I've been travelling a lot to Asia where I have immersed myself in Ayurveda and Eastern traditions that are the guidance of my approach to life today.

Last summer I've been travelling and working in Portugal where I also followed several courses in permaculture, agroforestry and natural housing, to learn how to build and co-create sustainable spaces in the future.
Inspired by music and creation I gave soundhealings with my voice, my instruments and my own created natural products.
I was holding space for women circles and singing circles as well, I took care of the garden and animals, I teached yoga and Q-gong classes, and I had my own healing space where I offered energetic treatments.

Originally I am based in Belgium, where I worked as an educational psychologist, yoga teacher and massage therapist.
In my spare time I also worked as a chef on the weekends because I like to cook.
During the lockdown period I studied 'Creative Therapy' and worked as a seasonal worker on farms (sowing, growing, weeding and not only harvesting vegetables and fruits, dairy cattle).
This sparked my interest in permaculture, resulting in my further studies and trainings in this field.

I believe that we can create a better world and a healthier relationship with ourselves and the food we eat if we improve our relationship with the origin of our food.
I also believe in the processes of lifelong learning and remain a curious student with an open mind.

I have several skills to share and offer to create an exchange:

- Caring and helpful with all kinds of chores

- Working with animals

- Cooking: specialized in Ayurvedic and Thai food

- Language exchange: Dutch, English, French and basics of Italian and Portuguese

- Gardening

- Music circles: guitar, drum, singing

- Ayurvedic, Thai, Lomi lomi and sports massages, Shiatsu, Cranio-Sacral Therapy

- Teaching yoga and pilates lessons

- Philosophical and spiritual conversations about the meaning of life 🙂

As a child I traveled to Italy several times with my family, which sparked my interest in further studying ancient languages ​​(Latin and Greek) as a teenager.
My background and current travel and work experiences in Portugal make me feel strongly attracted to the culture and way of life of Southern countries.
Currently I am travelling in Italy where I experience the feeling of 'homecoming'.
I believe that in communities we can learn more from each other and strengthen each other in our talents, so that together we can create a better world.

If my story has aroused your interest, you can contact me to discuss further details, also possible via Whatsapp and more personal contact that I prefer.
