Movement has always fascinated me. At twenty-two, while studying dance in college, I experienced multiple injuries—including persistent back and knee pain. That's when my favorite teacher introduced me to the Ilan Lev Method (ILM).

The transformation was immediate. My pain vanished, and I felt a deep sense of comfort and belonging I had never known. I continued receiving ILM sessions for both maintenance and inspiration.

At twenty-four, I enrolled in an ILM training course taught by Ilan Lev himself. In 2010, I became a certified ILM practitioner, and since 2013, I've proudly served as part of the instructor team for the training course.

I later advanced through the ILM Advanced Course and the Movement Course Teacher Training. These years reshaped my understanding of my body from the ground up—a journey that continues to evolve.

My posture improved effortlessly, and a new tenderness emerged. ILM became a language of inner dialogue—a way to connect with my body, mind, and relationships.

Today, I live in Leiden, The Netherlands, with my partner and our two wonderful children. I continue to practice ILM and teach internationally, including at the Advanced Course alongside Ilan Lev.
