I am originally from The Netherlands but have lived in Ireland since 2001. 3 years ago I retrained as a Life Coach after having worked in management for nearly 10 years. During my years in business I discovered that I have a passion for working with people and in motivating them to fullfilling their professional goals but that my real interest lies in helping people create the lives they would like for themselves. During my training in Life Coaching I made the decision that I wanted to focus on health and wellbeing coaching, specifically around the areas of weight loss, nutrition and confidence coaching.

The reason I chose weight management coaching was a very personal one. I have spend 20 years of my life on diets; obsessing about food, my weight and never felt good about myself. I ended up developing a serious eating disorder in my late teens and and it has taken me over 10 years to heal myself. That experience has taught me quite a few things but the most important lesson is this: diets really do not work! With the right education, support and coaching people can make the necessary changes to overcome any issues with weight and eating and acchieve the weight and health goals that they want.

For the last 2 years I have worked fulltime as a weight management coach and have seen many people make great transformations. My years of personal experience and professional experience have proven to be of great benefit to me in my journey to help others who battle with their weight.

Education is very important to me and I am always looking to learn new skills that enable me to be a better coach, I have experience in EFT, NLP and am currently studying hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.

In my quest for knowledge I came accross the Happyweight programme which really attracted me because of the no diet approach. I followed the practitioner training with Judy, who is a real inspiration, and am happy to have found a programme that incorporates the different disciplines that I have found incredibly beneficial in my own healing process.

I am looking forward to assisting and supporting people in Ireland who are willing to stop dieting for life and to facilitate them in making positive changes in their lives that will result in them reaching their happy weight and leading healthier, happier and fullfilled lives.
