"My lifelong interest in nutrition, supplementation, and the microbiome jumped to a whole new level by doing the Mindvalley Viome Nutritional Coaching program"

My lifelong interest in nutrition, supplementation, and the microbiome jumped to a whole new level by doing the Mindvalley Viome Nutritional Coaching program. I look forward to working with people who are serious about upgrading their nutrition and lifestyle to enable their bodies to thrive and function optimally. No more guesswork. No more general diets are supposedly good for everyone. 
Personalized nutrition has never been possible before, but now it is! With Viome testing, I had the experience of being able to fine-tune my diet and know what my body needed, instead of guessing. In addition to eliminating a few foods, I was even able to add some foods back into my diet!
Before the Mindvalley Viome Nutritional Coaching program and up to the present, I work locally, one-on-one in my five-element acupuncture practice, where I also include health, lifestyle, and nutritional coaching as part of the growth and self-transformational process that acupuncture supports. 
However, as I was a certified acupuncturist, not a certified coach, I didn’t feel free to emphasize the importance of the coaching, plus the nutrition advice I was giving was general nutritional advice, good for everyone, but less specific to a particular person. 
Thanks to participating in the MVVNC program, I realized that with my years of clinical practice, I had already developed coaching skills, and with the help of the MVVNC program, I now had the opportunity to take those skills to the next level, as well as to feel more self-confident and empowered as a certified nutritional coach.
Because I love the personalization that Viome’s new RNA testing offers, I am excited about helping others go deeper into their diet, habits, and lifestyle with online personalized nutritional coaching. As we all know in Mindvalley, working with a coach as an accountability partner speeds up the self-actualization process.
I grew up on the East Coast in the USA and moved to The Netherlands, where caring for a loved one, I experienced both the importance of the caretaker as well as the difficult personal trials a lot of caretakers go through. I speak both English and Dutch. I am much looking forward to the opportunity to work with clients from all parts of the world. 
Being a cancer survivor, my recovery process included healing on many levels... healing my mind of unconscious habitual thought patterns, healing childhood emotional trauma, re-finding and reigniting my inner spark, as well as healing my physical body, so all those modalities are key in how I coach. Every person with cancer needs to find their way forward and deserves to be supported in that. I believe that supplementation to block cancer's growth pathways played a big part in my recovery and I have experienced myself that coaches who are present and listen deeply can work miracles. Because of Viome, I now know which specific foods enhance the healing and functioning of the many biochemical pathways in my body and which do not. Being coached to optimize my own Viome results helped me deepen in unexpected ways. 
I am excited to contribute more as an online coach, and to help motivated people move beyond stress, burnout, trauma, grief, and disease, to find the courage to take their lives, lifestyle, health, nutrition, and personal growth to the next level!
