How meditation changed
my life.
As I grew up in the seventies, a period of change and newness, I discovered spirituality and I started to meditate when I was nineteen. This was the beginning of my journey towards self discovery and enlightment. As every hero’s journey, I was tested on the path and surely met my dragons and challenges. This path is not straight but full of adventure. I had to go deep to unravel illusion, false identities and wrong believes, to finally release my true potential.
During this awakening I became a student and then a teacher of Raja Yoga Meditation. Also studying C.G. Jung for many years deepened my inner quest, helped me face fears and find courage to love every aspect of my individuality.
Travelling the world
Being a seeker I also wanted to travel the world. Travelling for one year in India in 1980 was a magical experience and a big imprint in my life.
I returned many times to that amazing continent. Among other countries, Morocco became one of my favourite destinations.
Living more than one year in Essaouira in the ninetees was great fun and life-changing!
Fashion career
To finance my way of life, I started taking on jobs as a fashion model. I began as a freelancer, inspired by an atmosphere of creativity, beauty, newness and modern life… It was at that time that some of my friends from childhood started their journey in the fashion industry. They became well known and highly ranked Belgian fashion designers (Ann Demeulemeester). I specialized in marketing and sales and worked in famous fashion shops in Brussels. This experience in high fashion finally brought me to Antwerp, where I was appointed as manager and team leader running the fashion flagship store of my friends Ann Demeulemeester and Patrick Robyn. I stayed in this role for almost 15 years. I often traveled to Paris to select the collections for each new season, and always enjoyed the annual Paris fashion weeks.
How to stay balanced
Meanwhile I stayed loyal to my inner calling and continued in my free time with my spiritual practice. I attended many retreats and workshops, always exploring and studying spiritual concepts. Meditation, yoga, personal development and a healthy lifestyle helped me to cope with the stress and the fast changing fashion world which soon became a real industry. This experience however was very valuable and taught me how to take take full responsibility and leading a team beyond selling design clothes!
Back from outside to inside
Finally I was ready to leave the fashion world and took a high jump to follow my dream of coaching and guiding people in their own transformation process. I kickstarted my new career with an Energy4life Coach Training with Shola Arewa in Glastonbury UK, and became a certified Energy4life Wellness Coach. Following my training in Glastonburry I participated in the intense Basic Training “Inspiring Coaching” with Jef Clement. I attended many more workshops, international retreats and continued my daily practice of Raja Yoga Meditation for 38 years! My inner journey continued with exploring and practicing (self) leadership, authenticity, energy, raw food and holistic well-being.
Transforming lives
Having gone through a transformation process in my own life, today I help my clients who are at their own crossroads, who need help and guidance to re-create and give new meaning to their lives. This means going on a journey with them, to help them listen to their inner voice and calling, so they experience happiness and fulfillment. It is with compassion, an open mind, life experience and spiritual insights that I can create the space for people to enhance their lives. It makes me proud when I see people changing , leaving the coaching sessions empowered with new insights and spiritual tools, and most of all with hope and happiness to continue on their journey!
