WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE

I am driven and passionate to help others move, feel and live better. Most importantly, I aim to guide and empower people on their self-care path. My mission is to embody vitality and joy, and to share that journey with you.

I have a Dutch/Spanish background, grew up in South America, and have been traveling and working abroad for the largest part of my life. From an early age, I have been fascinated by movement, sports and well-being. At 20 years old, I started suffering from various back injuries and chronic fatigue. This led to a beautiful yet challenging path of physical and emotional healing and recovery, as well as personal and professional transformation. 

My journey as a ‘mover’ and movement coach started with Martial Arts, which I practiced for about 15 years. From there, I explored as well as taught many different modalities and terrains including; Yoga, strength and conditioning, Foundation Training, mobility, and my biggest love - surfing. 

My movement journey eventually led to manual therapy and bodywork. I started with massage and deep tissue therapy, and then further deepened my understanding of the human body and pain management through my studies in structural osteopathy, as well as with my work with the Human Garage, Centerpoint Meditation and Holistic Health Coaching with the CHEK Institute. 

I aim to keep my approach as holistic and integral as possible. Being able to help people both on and off the table, in and out of the gym, through coaching and the exploration of emotional and physical interconnection, allows me to do just that. 

I am currently based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where I offer body therapy, massage and movement coaching (in person) as well as lifestyle & vitality coaching services (in person or online).
