Strength has always been my language
Sport has never just been exercise to me. I grew up playing handball, and that early
experience shaped how I understand training: not as punishment, not as a quick fix, but as
something that builds you up over years, through good seasons and hard ones.
I spent years in a corporate career in IT account management and recruitment before I made the call to coach full time. It wasn't a sudden decision. It was the slow realization that the thing I cared most about, helping women build real strength and a healthier relationship with their training, deserved to be more than a side project.
About 18 months ago I went through ACL surgery and recovery. It changed how I coach. I understand, from the inside, what it means to rebuild trust in your own body, to be patient with a timeline you didn't choose, and to come back stronger without rushing the process. That experience shows up in how I coach every client, injured or not.
Today I coach 150+ women remotely, from wherever I happen to be: Bali, Phuket, or back home in the Netherlands. I'm a certified personal trainer (EREPS Level 4) and sports nutrition specialist. I work with driven, busy women who already train and already know a few things, but who haven't had the right information about nutrition, training structure, hormones or sleep to actually see it pay off.
