About
I could write about how I like working with people and that I find a lot of value in helping people look after themselves, but what it comes down to is that I genuinely care about people's well-being. I was born in the Netherlands and worked in health care as a Registered Nurse in hospitals and home care. I've been in Australia since 2007. In June 2023 I attended the Mental Health First Aid Course, a course that teaches skills for providing initial help to a person aged 65+ who is developing a mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. In 2024, I completed the Diploma of Dementia Care at UTAS, and I work as a support worker with people living with dementia. Over the years, I’ve become more of a homebody, enjoying playing board games with my family, watching a movie now and then, and spending time knitting, crocheting, reading, or trying out new things like soap making. I enjoy learning and regularly find a course to enrol in, and learning French is an ongoing hobby. I turn to science for answers, am on a lifelong journey with Stoicism and rely on my sense of humour when the going gets tough. A healthy lifestyle is my top tier passion. I strongly believe that nutrition is one of the best interventions to improve health and general well-being. In December 2025 I completed the course for Nutrition Advisor (Nutrion-network.org), giving me the tools to guide people to transition from a standard western diet to a low-carb diet. Please get in touch with me if you have an activity you think I could help with!
