I turned my own sufferings into my strengths.
Now my mission is to show you how to do the same.
My story For you
From 2010 onwards I have had various health challenges.
This all started in 2010 when I was still working as a travel consultant and unexpectedly started suffering from severe chronic back-, neck-, and shoulder pain.
I was sent from pillar to post and have seen all corners of treatment land, both regular and alternative. The end result was that nobody knew anymore how to help me and I was told that I had to learn to live with it that it was never going to get better.
I did not accept that and decided to solve it myself.
I investigated and recovered myself 100% and have never had any chronic back-, neck- or shoulder pain since then.
I found it remarkable and ridiculous that no practitioner could have helped me, while I who was a travel consultant at that time, could help myself get rid of my complaints.
So in 2013 when I finally was pain free myself, I wanted to go back to work even though I was declared incapacitated before. In one year I did 3 accelerated studies to retrain myself and to go back to work as soon as possible.
I collected money for a massage table, dragged it with me in the tram to my home and transformed one of my rooms into a practice space. I taught myself to create a website and flyers and soon had my first client. One Balance had started.
My goal?
To help people get rid of pain that they are needlessly suffering from!
The years where I exclusively worked with triggerpoint and sports massage showed great results. However in the meantime I am many years, courses and workshops, many insights and much knowledge further.
And that has made me expand my vision. ‘One Balance’ as in physically, mentally and emotionally to keep the results for my clients permanent.
During those years of working and studying more I developed other new health issues such as very heavy adrenal fatigue, stomach pains, heavy pains through my entire torso, digestion difficulties, difficulties breathing deeply and other vague symptoms that got so painful that at some point I thought I was going to die.
This all led me down a path of more studying. Studying on nutrition and detoxification and on the MindBody connection in health issues. It became very clear to me that the mind, emotions and spiritual connection are CRUCIAL in healing.
Just like with my chronic back-, neck-, and shoulder pain there was not any specialist who knew how to help me other than temporarily symptom treatment, so again I healed myself.
My passion and drive to help others only became bigger because all of this.
To be able to do this I needed to offer what I had been missing in my own period of trying to heal.
I needed to do it differently than others.
That is why I created my own unique programs focused on healing chronic pain and healthier eating.
All with a complete holistic approach and with everything included that one would need to have in order to get the permanent results that I, and you now too, are after.
The results of this total-approach are amazing and I am very grateful that I can do this work!
With this new vision my mission also expanded a bit:
My mission is to show you the power of yourself and the power you have over your own body. so you can take back control over your life and start living again instead of being lived by limitations.
A fit, energetic and healthy happy life, as is meant for you! ♥

I am interested in learning new things and growing, on all levels of both myself and life in general. I find the human body and mind fascinating and will always continue studying it.
Because I am ambitious and hardworking myself and am commited a 100% to get real results, I prefer to work with clients who are ambitious (pro-)active entrepeneurs themselves and are really ready to make their health their number 1 priority.
Health, freedom and love are very important to me, which therefor I try to live by as much as possible.
