EXPERTISE
Therapist
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist (LAc) and phytotherapist specializing in Chinese medicine. I learned this field of expertise from my father and have over 13 years of practice working in The Netherlands. Currently, I am completing my PhD with a focus on internal medicine for dermatology at Nanjing University. And at this moment, I am starting new health programs in the south of Spain, integrating traditional Chinese medicine with modern therapeutic approaches to provide holistic care and promote overall well-being.

Coaching
When you encounter physical or mental challenges, personal coaching can provide invaluable insights. Strong emotions, pain, frustration, and fatigue increasingly impact your daily life and overall health. My hands-on, tailor-made individual coaching program is designed to help you achieve a more balanced life.
As a therapist and coach, I guide you in identifying and addressing the underlying causes of your complaints and struggles. This journey enables you to engage in activities that are truly meaningful and fulfilling for you. Through this path, you will experience enhanced happiness, health, joy, fulfillment, and freedom.
​
PhD.
In 2018, a valuable opportunity arose through a collaboration between Shenzhou Open University in Amsterdam, my alma mater, and Nanjing University. Together, they offered a Master’s and PhD program. I traveled to China to study under the esteemed Dr. Yuegang Wei at the Department of Dermatology, Nanjing Hospital. This experience was highly inspirational and significantly fueled my motivation to delve deeper into this field of knowledge.
Currently, I am in the final phase of the clinical part of my study. I anticipate completing this phase after the summer and defending my thesis in December 2024.
