From an early age I was interested in the functioning of body and mind and the connection between the two. I started practicing martial arts early on and was fascinated by the physical and mental strength it gives you.

My childhood dream was to join the elite army. I followed my dream and after a solid training I finally served for 6 years with the 3rd parachute battalion in Tielen. Now, when I reflect back on my life, these were interesting times in correlation with the power of the unconscious processes that engulfed me during that period.

My inner research process gained momentum about fifteen years ago during my explorations to the East. I came into contact with Buddhism, Indian philosophies and yoga and followed lessons with various mystical teachers and Thai forest monks. In 2009 I completed my yoga teacher training in Mysore (India), where I still go every year to continue my studies.

However, something was missing for me in Eastern wisdom and that is how I came into contact with the works of the famous psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung in 2012. After reading many books from his richly filled oeuvre, something clicked inside me. Everyday being human is central to Jung, an association of the unconscious and conscious, the path of individuation. Jung also refers to it as "becoming who you always were". I decided to follow the 4-year course of Analytical Therapist at the Jungian Institute for Depth Psychology in Nijmegen and I successfully completed it in June 2019.

In addition, I have also invested heavily in many training courses on Self-development and coaching. My graduation thesis was about the road to the Self with Patanjali and Jung, 2 different paths that lead to Self-discovery, an Eastern and a Western vision.

For me, every person is unique and everyone has their own blueprint, their own essence. I experience this every day when I see my children grow up. I find it fascinating to work with people and discover together what drives them in life, but also to investigate the blockages where people get stuck. This is why you can come to me for analytic therapy and mental coaching.

I enjoy sports, practice yoga regularly, enjoy outdoor physical work, have a passion for travel and enjoy spending time with my family by the sea. Finally, reading is one of my favorite hobbies. I like to immerse myself in the Eastern and Western philosophical thought of CGJung, S. Freud, H. Rump, J. Hillman, J. Campbell, C. Rogers, F. Nietzche, A. Schoppenhauer, Spinoza, JWGoethe, I -Tsing, K. Wilber, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and numerous other writings.
