For nearly ten years I have a private therapy practice where I have worked mainly with early trauma repair from an embodied relational approach. During my time as a therapist, I have learned so much from my clients, and this part of my journey made me realise that we need to approach health and healing from a more collective level in order to transform some of the societal challenges we see.  My own early trauma and what I will call trans-generational and evolutionary heredity has enabled me to relate to all forms of difference and trauma.  In addition to my work as a therapist, I have worked as a leadership educator and consultant, in various roles including as a senior manager at Deloitte Human Capital in the Netherlands, and as an external facilitator at Deloitte University. 

I was born with a rare congenital birth defect called Bladder Exstrophy Epispadias Complex which also included ambiguous sex, in a time before trauma-informed care existed, and my own process has brought me the cellular, embodied awareness that babies really do experience pain. My transgenerational trauma imprints planted seeds for unfolding my soul's journey.  These seeds would ultimately lead me to uncover the eco-psychic-evolutionary roots of my birth difference, but also provided me with insight to support others to explore theirs.  Paradoxically, being born with my birth difference, attracted and perpetuated the same violations and threats to the body mind.  And these continued until I became conscious enough for the natural healing process to take over.  In simple terms, I see this as reaching a high enough vibration, for our own psyche to begin repairing our early ruptures and restoring inner harmony.

In this process, I have had to heal myself from a significant amount of trauma, which was imparted upon me from layers upon layers of trans-generational suffering. Not only the trauma of my parents but also trauma from my parents, the ancestral lineages, and, other karmic residue.  It is no longer a 'hypothesis' that cellular (trauma) memory is transferred to us via genetic information, but a scientific reality which is visible at the collective level.  

Through my own research I have come to understand the imperative for us to take a variety of perspectives when attempting to understand illness, disease, and health.  It is science's overemphasis on empiricism which has blinded us from seeing the multifaceted, and sacred aspects of ourselves that has stifled our physical-spiritual evolution.

I am grateful that in this life I have been given an opportunity to fully embody and transcend a great deal of trauma so that I can guide and inspire others towards restoring their own wholeness.
