I have a background in physiotherapy and osteopathy and did my training in the Netherlands.

When I moved to New Zealand 15 years ago, I started learning the teachings of Yuan Tze and the REN XUE life cultivation system.  In REN XUE, I found what I had been searching for all along. This system is designed to work on and understand the relationship between all levels of life – balancing the body, improving the Qi condition, opening the heart and cultivating the mind. As these levels work constantly together, all of them need to be considered when working on the root cause of problems, so true health, happiness, wellbeing and growth can be achieved. This understanding and my dedicated practice of the Yuan Gong methods has significantly influenced my professional life as well as my personal life.

When my children were younger I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and I gratefully used the tools from the REN XUE system to work on my Qi condition and on all levels of life. My physical strength and energy levels gradually improved over the years and I regained good health. What’s more is my understanding of what it takes to live a healthy and happy life has improved and continues to grow. I have been doing the Yuan Gong teacher trainings for the last 5 years and am motivated to teach these methods, so more people can experience the benefits from doing this practice. It is so empowering and necessary for people to have the tools to work on their own lives.
