With a background in Health Care Management and a specialization in vitality and lifestyle, she began her career as a sustainable employability consultant before moving to Dubai and eventually leaving corporate life at 35 to pursue her passion full-time. She now runs her own wellness practice offering breathwork (including certified Wim Hof Method instruction), NLP and life coaching, corporate wellness workshops, and yoga.

Her credentials include multiple accredited coaching certifications, 200-hour yoga teacher training, and all three levels of the Wim Hof Method Academy, culminating in certified instructor status.

She's high energy, people focused, and deeply committed to helping others live healthier, happier lives. One breath at a time.
