A bit about my professional and personal background
Professional education and experience: I have diplomas and certificates in Music-and-arts Therapy, Neurological Music Therapy, Coaching, Gifted Education, Music education, Neurodiversity, Shamanic Healing and many related courses. I will always keep learning because I am committed to my own transformation and being the best that I can be. It is also something I deeply enjoy. I have worked with prisoners, with primary school children, high school children, gifted adults and children (high IQ), people on the Autism Spectrum, with ADHD, trauma, eating disorders, grief, elderly with dementia, and brain injuries. I have given workshops for organizations and at spiritual festivals. I have been selling my art on Etsy for a while, creating is something my soul needs to feel alive. I speak Dutch and English, working on Spanish. I have a good understanding of German, but I am not a German speaker myself.
Personal background and experience: I am a mother, a daughter, a friend, a pet owner and I love nature, rock hunting, music, art, permaculture food forest gardening, sewing clothes and Shaolin Kung Fu, including Qi Gong. I know what it is like, to be different. My life has been full of ups and downs, and deep transformations along the way. I used to be shy and insecure, I have had my share of trauma. I have experienced what it is like to build a business and lose it, to be bankrupt and in debt. Abuse, see a loved on work through abuse. I have walked through many 'hells' and always kept going to find an even more beautiful place on the other side. Being more powerful, resilient, and happy. I have become comfortable with being uncomfortable. I found that each time I am willing to really look at my shadow, I become a better, more authentic version of myself. Not to survive, but feel inspired and ecstatic every day. Because I love who I am and love what I do. I am certain I am some kind of neuro divergent myself, even though I was never diagnosed or tested. My daughter was. I love to truly connect to another human, see the beauty, the uniqueness and the power in every one. And I love to help bring that out even more, and so, make his world a better place.
