I have always been fascinated by movement.​

When I was twenty-two, I studied dance in college, 

and during the studies I had multiple injuries, including back

and knee pain.​

My favorite teacher in school introduced me to the Ilan Lev Method.​

Quickly my pain disappeared and I felt a sense of belonging

and comfort I had never before experienced.

I continued receiving sessions for maintenance and inspiration. 

 

At the age of twenty-four, I registered for an ILM training course,

taught by Ilan Lev himself.

I became a certified ILM practitioner In 2010 and since 2013,

I have also been a member of the training course team

of instructors.

I then continued on to the Advanced Course 

and the Movement Course teachers training.

​​

During these years I got to know my body, basically from scratch

and it is a process that continues on.

New tenderness entered and my posture has improved without effort.

The ILM became an inner dialogue language for me,

a language in conversation with my body,

my mind and in my relationships with others. 

​​

These days I live in Leiden, The Netherlands with my partner

and our wonderful two children.

I continue to practice the method and teach internationally

at the Advanced Course, side by side with Ilan Lev.
