A return to love and liberation: a journey back to your essence, health, success and wellness in life.

The waiting game
The in-between
The ending and becoming
The transformation
The void of uncertainty
The grief and the excitement
The pause before the storm

As I open more, right before the portal of your birth, in this transition from my old self into my new, I hold a mix of so many thoughts and emotions, but so much awe and excitement for you, babygirl.

Never will we be as close as now, never will we be one again. From now on it is all surrender into the flow of what’s to come. 🌀

Not long anymore before the once ‘fantasizing about you’ becomes ‘my daily life’ and before I can finally meet you in my arms.

What a rich path it has been, a 9 month window that changed my life in every way. And to know that soon we will be walking our paths together, for life.

See you soon 🧚‍♀️

Cosmic Journey: a deeply transformative retreat where you’ll reconnect with your inner cosmos through meditation, yoga, cacao, nature, sound healing and so much more. 🌿

Everything in the universe moves in cycles. So do you.🌀

But in the chaos of daily life, we forget. We disconnect. We lose our rhythm.

Through deep connecting practices, this retreat helps you remember.

Set in the lush tropical paradise of Ahangama, Sri Lanka, this experience is designed to help you release, expand, and be reborn. 🐒

A sacred journey back to your natural flow. Are you ready?✨

This is your invitation to soften.

To remember the woman beneath the armor — the radiant, sensual, intuitive you who’s been waiting to be seen.

To move, breathe, speak, and live from her truth.

To let her body guide her more than her mind.

To set boundaries that honor her energy.

To stop apologizing for existing, for feeling too much, for wanting more.

This retreat is the sacred space where she meets herself again.

For years I did not trust my inner voice. A pattern that is touched a lot during pregnancy as well.

I trusted expectations, logic, survival… maybe you relate?

It slowly disconnects you from yourself. Makes you look outward to find out the next steps. Makes you dismiss the weird feeling that you felt in your body while making the decision… because others probably know better?

The truth? They don’t.

Nobody knows better what you need than you.

So start taking your body’s whispers, your inner knowing, your excitement, your beliefs seriously because they matter!

And when you follow those more, they will communicate more.

Trade your self-doubt for self-respect. And start living with more confidence and leadership over your own life.

I love guiding women to more empowerment. You can have a look at my retreats if you relate. Send me a dm or link in bio.

Life is really too short to stay in unhealthy patterns, to stay in destructive environments or relationships, to keep ignoring the red flags and to keep pushing down the unwanted feelings and emotions, to stay stuck, numb, miserable or small.

Life is made to be lived and experienced, to take risks, trust in faith and to unapologetically believe that literally anything is possible. 🌿

Look at my personal story, I quantum leaped into a whole new life this year: From being a burnt out entrepreneur combining 4 different jobs to get around, co-housing in Antwerp, traveling a lot to find my next homebase (and to stay sane), building a business ... 🌀

And in the past 8 months... I moved in with my man in Morocco, got blessed with a baby belly, I now co-manage a hostel and live my dream life in a coastal surf town, while continuing teaching yoga, hosting retreats and bringing transformational experiences to people all around the world. 🌞

I can’t wait to bring my daughter on all my retreats and trips, and teach her too that life is one big adventure... if you let it. 🌸
—-
Because the 26 year old version of me was not ready to hold this strong mind and openness that is required to conquer any fears and hesitations... 🌚

It took me a lot of spiritual, mindful, emotional and physical practice to get to where I am today. And to me, this journey finally led me home.

It’s the dearest path to me that I wish for everyone! 🦂

It was worth every euro, every minute, every tear, all the dark & deep inner work, every argument with others, every loss, that I experienced for choosing myself. 👸

🥂I’m so grateful for where I am today and for 2026 I wish for you to finally feel like the radiant, abundant, joyful, feminine leader that you are inside.

Thank you all for following my journey along the way 🤍

Life can make you forget the quiet pulse that connects you to everything around you.

In the rush of everyday life — from one appointment to the next gathering, another deadline, another notification — it’s easy to drift away from the deeper rhythm of the world.

Your mind spins with worries about things you can’t control. You lose your sense of direction. The beauty of the present moment slips away as you get caught in the noise of doing.

And then — sometimes for just a fleeting second — you zoom out. You remember that you are a tiny dot in an infinite Universe. That you are made of stardust, of earth and water, of fire and breath. That you are not separate from the greater whole — you are part of it.

I once had this conversation with a girl after one of my yoga classes about how we forgot to really honour our feminine strenghts and what she said really baffled me.

She was offended when I told her about the gender unrelated traits of femininity (softness, vulnerability, receiving…) and really stressed towards me that women (she connected it with gender) are not soft.

I told her about the feminine being also very dark, as we can see in Goddess Kali or Eris, and that they can burn the world down with their dark feminine force if their life does not align with truth.

But to come into union, within yourself, or with a partner, in order to be able to slide completely in your softness as a woman in a relationship, so you can connect more to your intuition, your feminine energy, your creativity… you will first need to let go and let your masculine counterpart fill the space with him taking his masculine responsibility.

If we keep mothering, keep trying to be it all ourselves… the masculine remains passive, and the feminine exhausted. It’s time we restore the balance so the feminine can rise ✨

Are you conforming to the path that is laid out before you? Or are you curious for more, to pave your own way and see where jt takes you?

The connection with the body - and more specifically the womb for women - is a very underestimated and forgotten connection at the basis of so many physical and mental symptoms.

It’s where the true magic lies for women’s intuition, women’s voices, women’s power, I wonder why *the system* wants to suppress this so much?

If all women act like men and are exhausted, numb and conformed all the time - they will not be a threat for an outdated structure.

I say it’s time to shift the narrative…

BECOMING UNAPOLOGETIC is a 3-month mentorship for people who want to live a life that’s more in alignment with who they are, with their aliveness, with a life they love.

You want to overcome fears of taking your next step, eliminate your self-doubt, transform from a place of hopelessness to possibility… besides a guide that has walked this path before, holds the mirror to your becoming and cheers you on along the way!

This mentorship is about becoming completely honest with yourself and the life you want to live, and not shrinking anymore for any circumstance. Your freedom to be the leader in your story is your birthright.

Become unapologetic is about wanting the best for yourself in all areas of your life. Moving away from negativity, victimhood, playing small and safe to a life where you take a leap of faith into possibility, believe in your own power and imagination that what you dream of can actually be your future reality - that brings you more balance, flow & fulfillment.
