Dear friends and foes,
May 2026 be a year of wild, unforgettable adventures, the kind that wake you up and call you back to who you really are. A year lived without permission.

May it be a year of real growth, not safe, not comfortable, but authentic.
Of hard truths, fierce boundaries, and forward steps taken even when they hurt.

I wish you the courage to choose even when your hands shake, to walk away from what dulls you and claim what sets you on fire.

The grit to stay standing when it would be easier to disappear, to turn every obstacle into proof of your strength.

And above all, love. The kind that feeds you, never cages you, never wounds you.
Love yourself like a riot.
Your body. Your scars. Your freedom.

May 2026 find you alive, present, untamed and proud of it.

❤️

It’s been a long time since I posted, I know…
I’ve been very busy working on exciting projects, in my other life as stylist and costume designer for tv and film, producing shows, writing and gulp… more!
My life is so eclectic! And I love it this way 🤩 my creative mind can’t stop creating!
Anyways, I was speaking to a client today and realised how much I can positively affect lives, and decided that I need to dedicate more to my nutrition and wellness coaching.
Hopefully I don’t get sidetracked this time ☺️

Never let anybody define who you are or who you should be

Stay in the spotlight
Shine your light

The only limits are those you set for yourself

𝙄𝙏’𝙎 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐, 𝙄𝙏’𝙎 𝙈𝙀…

Ok, tell me you never used this tactic to get out of a situation that made you feel uncomfortable

I see this happening all the time in people and recently more and more with clients

Like you know you want it, but you don’t know exactly what you want

You just know that you are uncomfortable, and that something needs to change
But you are confused, you don’t exactly know what really needs to change

So you go with the obvious… you want to lose weight, you want to have more energy, sleep better, eat healthier

Your doctor says that, your friends say that, social media is bombarding you with a million of different winning formulas to guarantee immediate results

Maybe you try them all, or are skeptical and want to “educate yourself” joining groups, Googling the strange chemical words, or reading blogs… then come to your own conclusions

Because now you know it all…

After all isn’t the Internet there to help us make an educated choice?
Aren’t we the best judges for ourselves?
Aren’t we encouraged to think with our head?

Mmmh… 🤔

Let me tell you something, as a teacher and therapist: you cannot fill a glass that is already full.

So if you come to me for advice, don’t escape with the “it’s not you, it’s me” excuse just because the advise I give you is not what you want to hear, what you already convinced yourself that you need.

Because what you are doing is create excuses for yourself not to change, not to heal, and talk yourself out before even trying

Healing requires energy, sometimes it’s uncomfortable

What I give you is not a superficial solution, I’m not interested in giving you a patch to cover what you don’t like to see

I’m not interested in telling you to powder your nose to cover imperfections
I want you to look deeper and find the perfection that lies within

This is my passion and what I dedicated the past twenty years of my life studying, practicing and applying to myself and hundreds of clients, using nutritional therapy, naturopathy, yoga and Cranio-sacral therapy

What I can say to you is this: empty the glass.

Be brave and willing to fill it up with something bigger and wonderful: your real self

Human Beings are Complex...
I’m a naturopathic nutritionist and therapist

From a nutritionist point of view I look at food as medicine, an energetic charge, a vibrational/electromagnetic potential, that interacts with the body within its capacity to hold and transform light and hold photon clouds around the cells. I look at the body as a biochemical lab, and it’s efficiency to transform food into energy.

As a cranio-sacral therapist and healer I also see the body as energy in constant transformation, and wherever there is obstruction and congestion there is dis-ease

Health is only possible when there is unrestricted movement at any levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

As a Yoga teacher I see our existence as pure awareness materialised

Often mental restriction, unprocessed emotions, unresolved issues, and sociological limiting beliefs make more damage that what is on our plates.

But if you add malnutrition to a toxic environment, a congested psycho-emotional, social and spiritual inadequacy, the chances to an harmonious and unrestricted expression of life force and health are scarce.

So, from a therapist point of view you can see that having a “healthy diet” is really mostly irrelevant, when you look at the whole picture
In our attempt to simplify things, we end up singling out specific ingredients, or labelling diseases, instead of zooming out out and see in the context of the bigger picture ☺️

What is your view about this? Leave a comment below, I’d like to know what you think! 😘

FORCED TO BE FAT

In Mauritania, young girls are brutally force-fed a diet of up to 16,000 calories a day—more than four times that of a male bodybuilder—to prepare them for marriage.

Mauritanian girls who are engaged to be married (to a man chosen by their family) are forced to gain a substantial amount of weight in a tradition called gavage.
In their culture, having a voluptuous body full of stretch marks is considered a sign of great beauty, charm, and social status.

Most girls wed between the ages of 12 and 14. "Increasing a girl's size creates the illusion that she's physically mature, that she's ready for a husband,"

The girls are sent to a “summer camp”.
"You're going on vacation to the desert to meet other girls and eat sweet food, and by the time you return home, you’ll be a beautiful woman." Their mothers tell them

There they meet their professional force-feeder!
"I'm very strict, I beat the girls, or torture them by squeezing a stick between their toes. I isolate them and tell them that thin women are inferior, denying that her work amounts to child cruelty. "No, no, it's for their own good! How will these poor girls find a husband if they're bony and revolting?"

Desert settlements like this 1000-strong farming community with no electricity or running water are popular spots for leblouh because there are no distractions and no easy ways to escape.

Tijanniya wants to become a French teacher, but her parents have already arranged a marriage for her. "Her job will be to make babies and be a soft, fleshy bed for her husband to lie on."
"The stomach flab should cascade, the thighs should overlap, and the neck should have thick ripples of fat,". The ultimate sign of beauty, however, is silvery stretch marks on the arms.

Zeinebou, Although hardly skeletal at 5'6" and 180 pounds, has trouble piling on weight, and was teased by plumper girls as a teenager. Recently, her husband told her that he "didn't like sleeping with a bag of bones."

Although the women develop serious health conditions by weight gain alone, pharmaceuticals are also sold secretly at city markets, they include hormones used to fatten camels and chickens, and steroids for asthma and cancer that cause bloating. Women die taking animal hormones while pregnant, hoping it would give them a fat baby

Petitions were issued by activists to take action, to no avail. "The authorities want women to return to their traditional roles — cooking, staying indoors, and staying fat to keep men happy"

WHY DO YOU THINK THIS PATRIARCHIC COLTURE LIKES FAT WOMEN?
IS IT BECAUSE THEY CAN CONTROL THEM?

Think about it when social conditioning is making you feel weaker and inferior because of the way you look.
It is always a way to control you

𝗕𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 “𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙”
It’s something deeper
It has to do more with self-esteem

I realized the significance of self-esteem years ago when I began doing intuitive readings through Cranio Sacral Therapy.

When there is low or absence of self esteem our ability to express ourselves is compromised
Absence of self-esteem is the common cause behind the weakening of vitality, both physical or mental. It manifests as a sense of confusion within the different energies that regulate our being, a disharmony that prevents the vital force to express itself flawlessly, and results in a feeling of being stuck.

“Being yourself” means being aligned with your inner self. If you do not trust your inner self, you will not listen to your inner self.

The truth is no one is born with self-esteem.

We require experience after experience, most of them painful, to finally realize that we have the power of choice and it is up to us as individuals to take responsibility for our actions.
We have to develop our sense of inner power and we all start out with an external reference point of power as children.

Power is “out there” before it is “in here”

Any dis-ease or condition wether it’s mental, physical or spiritual finds it’s cause in this basic lack of transparency in the energetic matrix. And the way the the different levels communicate with each other as they are interconnected and affect each other.

In example we know how our diet affects our physical body as well as our mental and emotional state. And how our mental or emotional state can affect our diet choices.

My way of working with my clients is on all levels. I have both the scientific knowledge of working on a physical level with Nutrition and Yoga, Cranio-Sacral Therapy as well as on the energetic and emotional level with naturopathic and ancient wisdom medicine, energetic healing and neuro-plasticity techniques
