Woman, mom of two boys (28 & 26 in 2023), former 🧘🏽♀️ yoga & mindfulness teacher with own yogastudio in the back garden… still living there today.
Widow at 38 in 2005. I used to write lyrics 🎵 professionally on my partner’s music for 13 years.
In between 2005 and 2009 I wrote children’s stories. But I threw it all away 😱… because of the relentless critical voice inside. Then 5 years of schooling & study to become 🤸🏻♀️ yoga & mindfuness 🧎🏻♀️trainer.
Between 1993 and 2023 Lots of intensive therapeutic work and mindfulness… a few family constellations 👨👩👧👧👩👩👧👧👩👩👦👦👨👩👦👦 🪜in 2022, 2023 and studying ‘The Fountain’ ⛲️ 💦 Els van Steijn, made thē difference to start creating ✏️ again.
With my present partner since 2010. Used to have many lop eared Flemish giant rabbits who were allowed inside and free. Now have two hilarious dachshunds dwerg teckels: Pagi and Subuh (Pagi = morning; Subuh = dawn).
I draw because I want to play and honor the child in me.Also I am a late bloomer, starting at 56, but it is only now that I allow myself to enjoy playfulness and that the inner critic has softened enough to have some (inner & outer) space next to it. Also the ‘empty nest syndrome’ with my boys moved out since a year adds up to me being ready to find a new purpose to get up in the mornings.
Values: equivalence, softening the inner hardness, comfort, coziness and (inner) safety safety safety.
