Unbelieveable it is almost the end of 2019! Time flies when you are having fun! Outside it’s getting colder, it’s getting darker, the energy is turning more inwardly. At the end of every year, I always ask myself: ‘What happened this year? What am I grateful for?’ I thought it would be nice to make […]

Hello dear readers
I want to let you know what happened in my life from August to November 2019. After a great holiday in August, I was quickly back in my daily routine. Busy in the healthshop and with clients in my practice. I also followed a three day course ‘nutrition and psyche’ where I learned a lot. […]
What a weird time this has been!
It all started with rushes of intense fatigue and slowly started feeling like I had a severe flu coming on. Then the abdominal pain started. Again. I know this series of events all to well after dealing with diverticulitis since 2011, so I went to see a doc, who rushed me to the ER in […]
Magnesium
The mineral Magnesium plays an important role in the body. This mineral is rightfully a centipede. It works upon: the bone production, maintaining strong bones, is important for strong teeth. It provides support in reducing fatigue. It is partly responsible for the proper functioning of the nerves. It has a good influence on the cell […]
Yoga
In the stress common thread, I now would like to address yoga as a possibility to reduce stress and burn-out. There are different types of yoga. In this blog I will give three. The traditional form of Hatha yoga consists essentially of body exercises (the so called asana’s), breathing training and relaxation. Body and mind […]
The laughter of recognition
Therapy is no laughing matter. Of course, there are moments of humour, sometimes bittersweet, sometimes self-deprecating or black as the night. So when one of my colleagues elicited round after round of delighted peals of laughter from her clients, I became curious, and cornered her to find out more about this laughing therapy. In 2010, […]
Rhythm
The common thread of this year is stress and how you could deal with it. According to Chinese medicine, health is based on the 5 vital substances: breathing, liquids, nutrition, movement and rhythms. So, one of the ways to destress, is becoming (more) aware of the rhythms and surrender to them. Is surrender a scary […]
Osteopathy
Some time ago, Myoki asked if I would be willing to write a guestblog on the subject of osteopathy. Of course! I love to share about my wonderful profession. I often relate nature to my treatment, to clarify why it works what I do. The idea behind osteopathy is that the complaint that someone experiences […]
When life gives you lemons, make limonade!
There is a reason, actually there are many reasons, for saying that! Starting your day with a glas of warm water with lemon. Why would you even consider this minor lifestyle change? *Lemon reduces chronic inflammation* Chronic inflammation plays a part in (rheumatic) arthritis of osteoarthritis. Chronic inflammation is caused by, amongst other things, unhealthu […]
Poppies
My last night in hospital, the idea of a healthblog was given to me. I still don’t know where it came from, so I see it as a present. A present that I am still unpacking for your benefit! Also the colours and the layout came through very clear: there should be poppies on the […]
