Hi! I'm Cindy, Functional Medicine Health Coach.

Healing from skin rash, candida overgrowth, hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance and years of digestive problems, I know how everything inside your body and mind ties in together. I do what I do, because I'm coming on the other end. Let me show you how, so it inspires you to take care of your health and well-being too.

Functional Medicine Health Coaching

I am a Functional Medicine Health Coach. I received my education from the School of Applied Functional Medicine in Sudbury, MA, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City. In addition, I am deepening my knowledge of kinesiology. I have spent over 15 years in a fast-paced career as a communication specialist supporting big corporates in Switzerland, Australia and the Netherlands to help their employees embrace organisational transformations and change. Yet is that really where true and lasting change happens? I am a believer that change happens within motivated individuals. And when that is related to lifelong health and happiness, I get truly unstoppably passionate.

Project Reset

Constantly feeling exhausted and anxious. Waking up tired yet pushing myself to exceed expectations every single day. Exercising in such a way it would only exacerbate my anxiety. Molding my social life to suit my career. I pretended to be super woman who could always do it all. Until I hit a wall and realised I had never actually made myself a priority in my own life: I had never actually sat down and listened to my intuition and follow that voice. That's when change started to happen. I branded my burn-out as my Project Reset: a path to becoming me. To rekindle with what really makes me tick. What a gift it was to re-wire and re-programme myself.

Be your own best doctor

However, the moment my mind started to relax, my body began sending messages through various ailments doctors wouldn't understand. I didn't not feel their pill would fix my ill: it would only treat the symptoms of the ruby red rash I was developing on my face, my lower back pain or my hormonal imbalance. I turned to functional medicine instead and discovered my symptoms were my digestive tract screaming to be detoxed. With an elimination diet I started to heal the root causes that had resulted in candida overgrowth, leaky gut, insulin resistance and digestive problems. And as Hippocrates has it: food became my medicine.

Let me health you

This experience and all lessons that came with it have been game changing. In the meantime I have learned so much about what Functional Medicine can bring, I cannot keep this to myself. If my body can heal itself by itself, your body can absolutely do that too. However, I am a firm believer of bio-individuality: my exact steps most likely won't be a copy-paste solution for you. Let me inspire you along your way to healing. Pause for a moment from being a partner, a mother, a successful colleague, a friend and so much more. Stop running and start being. Let me health you!

So who am I?

  • My favourite fruit: raspberries. Mmmmm!
  • Best holiday: hiking in New Zealand (they call that tramping though).
  • I enjoy writing stories, letters, post cards and going on walks.
  • Sports I love: pilates, tennis, running.
  • I do my dishes while dancing to random songs.
  • I am Dutch, but really I'm a citizen of the world.

Let's get to work: functional medicine health coaching

Although there are about 14.000 diseases with a name, there truly is only one disease: the body being out of balance. By the decisions we make every day, we choose to either survive or thrive. Crap food, toxins and stress are at the root cause of the majority of illnesses and discomfort. It all starts with awareness though. Let me educate, inspire and empower you to be your best doctor.
