I've owned horses almost my entire life, keeping them at my home stable. I competed in international dressage at a high level and took lessons from Olympic riders. Nutrition and supplements were essential for keeping horses in optimal health and freedom of movement. That's where my first love for nutrition, regulation, and performance, based on biology, arose. In 2013, I started my practice as a certified Mental Coach, Vitality Coach, and Weight Consultant. Since then, I've expanded my knowledge to Clinical PsychoNeuro (Endocrino-)Immunology, modern medicine, epigenetic therapy, and orthomolecular therapy. I work according to a steadily growing field of science that examines the connection between the psyche, immune system, brain, and hormones. I found orthomolecular therapy alone too limited and not always sufficiently substantiated. That's why I now work in an integrated, evidence-based, and no-nonsense way. Where appropriate, I incorporate elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, etc. I've literally read miles of professional literature. Professional textbooks, studies, research, international publications. And I still read and follow the very latest. This keeps me up-to-date with the latest scientific insights, treatment methods, and developments. Lifelong learning isn't a slogan for me, but a way of life. My therapies are unique. Not because I want to claim to be, but because my entire life path is interwoven with them. Everything I've learned, lived, experienced, and studied comes together in a personalized plan of action. Unique people require a unique approach. My own health was seriously disrupted for years. I suffered from morbid obesity (I've now lost over 70 kilos with my own program), leptin and insulin resistance, prediabetes (metabolic syndrome), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, a leaky gut, EBV load, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, low-grade inflammation, hormonal imbalance, osteopenia, asthma/COPD, Addison-Beimer's disease, and a traumatic brain injury after a fall from a horse, resulting in neuroinflammation and post-mortem syndrome. My left cruciate ligaments are also gone. I was chronically ill and could barely walk twenty meters. Nowhere, not even in hospitals, did I find a therapy that truly helped me. So I started studying on my own. Searching. Understanding. Integrating. I freed myself. And became so fit that, out of joy, I eventually finished four full marathons, despite doctors saying it was impossible (I had never run before). I move freely, am in top condition, and feel more vital than ever in my adult life. I never just look at a complaint or diagnosis. I always look for the cause. And beyond that: what caused it to develop? Treating symptoms isn't my style. Quick wins are often helpful when a solution is also being worked on in the background. For me, health is the ability to adapt and find solutions for physical, mental, emotional, and social challenges. Health is flexibility. I live and work from a place of love and connection. I'm an emotional person with a sharp analytical mind. I carefully attune myself to the people I'm working with and often have an unerring sense of what is and isn't appropriate. I want to be your flashlight in your jungle. With my knowledge, experience, and deep insights, I can help you gain perspective even when things might feel overwhelming. Besides my work, I enjoy nature, running, fitness, Pilates, mountain biking, skiing, hiking, playing the handpan, reading, music, education, and socializing. I'm a bon vivant and thoroughly enjoy being with loved ones, good food, and alcohol- and sugar-free drinks. From my practice, I work both in-person and online, nationally and internationally. Do you live further away? An online consultation is just as easy, wherever you are in the world. Do you feel it's time to look at yourself as a whole, not just your complaint? Then you are very welcome. But people who are healthy and want to optimize their health or age successfully and without complaints are also very welcome! Gain insight into where you are now. You can schedule a free, fifteen-minute online introductory meeting. An accessible first step to discuss your needs and see if we connect. You don't have to do it alone. Warm and healthy regards, Natasja
