Over the past few years of writing my weekly blogs for Dutchbuzz, I have paid special attention to using positive wording and phrasing. You’ll find very few ‘terribles’ ‘disgustings’ ‘degenerates’ or curses in my blogs and hardly any ‘no’s, ‘not’s’ or don’t’s. To me they are red flags. I firmly believe our senses work like …
Over the years the theme of gratitude crossed my path in many ways. I try to remind myself to count my blessings. Yet like so many of us, I also tend to get drawn into the every day drama of life, often forgetting in that process how much I have to be grateful for. I …

I went traveling last week to England to do two fantastic trainings. The first was with Felicity Warner, author of the Soul Midwives Handbook, all to do with helping people in their end of life transition. The other was with Prune Harris.

In the old days a farmer or seafarer would look up at the Sky and predict what type of weather it would be in two days time. These days we look at our phones instead of out of the window to check if we need an umbrella. Navigation systems in cars tell us which way …
Life has a habit of bringing us these day-to-day challenges. Next to the big stuff, we also get the small irritations between partners or petty power struggles at the office; parents, children, businesspartners… Any relationship really has its own bumps in the road and even small pebbles can cause big impact on our functioning together; …

Recently I had the joY of participating in the Energy Medicine for Women course delivered in Rotterdam by Prune Harris. In my energy counseling Facebook group I regularly share one of the many youtube video’s of Prune demonstrating simple yet effective self-supportive energy medicine techniques; all aimed to help regulate the 24/7 energy flows and …
