About me
As a couples therapist and intimacy coach, I use my professional education and my own transformation to support you, individual or as a couple, in finding and increasing your pleasure, love, connection and intimacy, no matter how impossible this may seem at times.
​
My transformation started when I had years of painful sex after giving birth, followed by cluster headaches and cancer. This made me feel completely disconnected. I had problems with intimacy and it was increasingly difficult to experience pleasure, in my own body and with my partner.
​
From the desire to reconnect to my body, to find my libido again and to experience my body as a place of freedom, joy and pleasure, I started my quest for pleasure. I read a lot of books, saw an intimacy coach, started a Qi gong practice and encountered Tantra. Trough this, I rediscovered my lust for life, sensuality and desire. My relationship with my own body and with others blossomed like never before. I wanted to share my journey from pain to pleasure with others.
That is why I made a career change from being a lawyer and mediator to intimacy coaching and couples therapy. For this, I have done various courses including:
​
-
Certified Merlijn mediator. ​
-
Certified Nonons coach.
-
Certified VITA Sex, Love and Relationship coach (Layla Martin).
-
Certified Somatic attachment practitioner (the Embody lab).
-
Somatic Experiencing with Somatic Experiencing International (certified in December 2023).
-
''the Developmental model'' at the Couples Institute.
-
Certified Tao Tantric arts facilitator (Minke de Vos and Shashi Solluna).
​
As a professional coach I am affiliated with the NOBCO.

​About me as a person:
I would describe myself as someone who loves life. As someone who is always looking for new challenges and adventures. I am mother of a daughter (Zita) and wife of an Irish man (Justin). We have been together for 18 years. I have lived abroad several times (including Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal), love surfing, CrossFit and Chi kung and consider being surrounded by close friends as the height of pleasure, preferably with a good glass of wine and good food. I often hear that my positivity and enthusiasm are contagious. I love nothing more than seeing people move towards a life full of joy and pleasure.
