The path that brought me here
I was born in Ghent, Belgium, in a world of concrete and thick air. My life seemed mapped out, predictable. Yet I always felt the seams, the cracks, the places where the earth whispered things.
I studied geology and marine sciences, searching for answers in layers of rock and waves. Science gave me structure, a language for the physical world, but not for the mystery that moved through it.
For years, I thought I had to choose, between the logic and the wonder that kept me awake at night. But I came to see that science and spirit are not enemies; they are a continuum.
But to truly know the world, I would need to enter it, rather than just observe it. So, at twenty-six, I left. I followed a calling north, to Iceland’s Westfjords. The land there was raw, uncompromising, it reshaped me.
The more I lived with the elements, the more the line between observer and participant dissolved.
Later, I moved again, to Norway, together with my husband. We settled down in the most beautiful fjord of Norway, the Nordfjord. There we bought our old little house that we are slowly turning into our home.
For 2 amazing seasons, I worked as a museum- and whale- watching guide in Northern Norway. Right on the frontline of Mother Earths battle to create a deeper relation with her people. Giving a guiding hand in meeting, learning and caring about the ocean’s mythical inhabitant and forging a promise. The promise to take better care of our home.
The wild landscapes of the North, with its big contrasts and unapologetic weather, are an endless source of inspiration for me. The rhythms, cycles and flow of seasons. The biggest metaphors, the largest mirror of life.
I’ve come to believe that our greatest forgetting is not of nature, but of our place within her. We’ve become strangers to the wild that once held us. The world speaks, through river, wind, intuition, yet most of us have forgotten how to listen.
My own listening happens somewhere between science and mystery. It’s here, in the in-between, that I found my true home.

The path in between
- Why I do what i do -
In between the lines, I started teaching yoga, studying Kundalini, leaning into ritual. I began to feel that my true work would not be measured in data or maps, but in presence, in listening, in translation, between the seen and unseen, between body and earth.
This is not a story of perfection. It’s a story of unlearning, of falling apart and coming together, of remembering what was always true behind the noise.
I chose to live in the in-between.
Between lands and cultures, science and metaphysics, silence and song, the seen and the unseen.
It’s here, at these edges, that I’ve found my home.
Everything I offer grows from that meeting place, those spaces in-between.
The longer I’ve lived among mountains and sea, the clearer it has become that our greatest hunger is not for more knowledge, but for belonging. We have forgotten that the world is alive, that every tree, stone, and gust of wind carries its own pulse and presence. We rush, we grasp, we explain, yet we rarely pause to feel the heartbeat of the land, or the echo of that same rhythm inside ourselves.
The sacred is not somewhere else. It lives in the body’s own cycles of rest and renewal. The elements are not metaphors, they are kin.
My work is to help people remember this kinship.
Through movement, ritual, stillness, and story, I hold space for a re-meeting of the wild within.
I offer this because I have seen what happens when we remember.
When we move in rhythm with the earth again, something ancient stirs. We begin to live as part of the living world.
And that changes everything.
