In life, new perspectives unfold with every step, revealing hidden beauty and wisdom.

In contrast to many who discover spirituality later in life, it was ingrained in me from the very start. Raised by my mom, a world filled with auras, energetic sound healing, crystals, and herbal remedies was all I knew. Setting intentions every new moon and using cards for guidance felt like second nature. I have a vivid memory of a school counselor asking me about the way I was raised as if it was something out of the ordinary.

As my rebellious teenage years began, I began questioning my parents' beliefs, seeking my identity beyond the moon cycles and singing bowls...

Defying the common narrative I never ended up experiencing discontentment with work. Instead, I discovered a passion I truly loved, founding my own film company, which steadily grew over the years. Through this venture, I had the privilege to engage with people from all walks of life through meaningful interviews. What fascinated me was that while questions were essential, the true key to eliciting touching answers lay in the inner attitude - creating a safe space where people felt comfortable sharing their most intimate thoughts, even amidst the hustle and bustle of massive camera and lighting setups with multiple crew members.

If you won't listen to the signs, your world will be set on fire.

Seven years ago, seemingly unexpectedly my life started to fall apart pretty rapidly right after we discovered that my mom had stage four breast cancer. The plumbing in my house burst, a co-owner of my company decided to leave, I found a lump in my girlfriend's breast, my dog died, and I ended up in a car crash. Life became dull, and I worried less about the little things. Having a brush with death really grants perspective. This whole ordeal forced me on a path of self (re)discovery, personal growth, and revisiting some childhood issues.

Four tough years later, I was able to go of my mom in complete harmony on one of the most beautiful days of my life. We celebrated her life and the way she embraced it. Having resolved my issues with her at her deathbed, I felt nothing but an enormous amount of love for all she had given me.

This ultimatum healed my mother-son bond, becoming the most transformative experience of my life. It prompted a profound reevaluation of everything. I prioritized self-care, fostering a healthy relationship with an incredible woman, deepening my connection with my dad, and consciously choosing friendships that added true value to my life. Along this life-altering path, I naturally gravitated towards environments and people aligned with my rapidly evolving worldviews, leading me to embrace filmmaking opportunities in Reiki workshops, constellation work, breathwork retreats, and biohacker summits. Each experience felt like coming home, a warm bath of recognition as all those early lessons from my mom resurfaced in my consciousness, a beautiful gift she had unknowingly left behind.

Becoming more connected with my body and soul opened a profound gateway, allowing me to unearth cherished memories of my mother that had long been forgotten. It was a journey of self-discovery and reconnection, which not only transformed my life but also rekindled a stronger bond with my mom's essence. It's a journey I'll forever cherish as it revealed the depth of her influence and the timeless wisdom she bestowed upon me

The last threshold was participating in the Certified Breathwork Professional masterclass by Kasper van de Meulen. For the first time, I stepped away from career-driven pursuits, immersing myself in a masterclass dedicated solely to my personal growth and self-exploration.

I felt weird and out of place on the way there, but as soon as I arrived, the feeling of Yugen started to flow through my body. 

The Zen concept of yūgen translates into a feeling of mysterious profundity. The emotions we feel when we try to contemplate it are too deep and mysterious to convey. 

Everybody here seemed to match my energy, conversations were deep and meaningful. And the funniest thing, all the practicums felt as natural as riding a bike. How could I be good at this? My whole life, I'd been working beyond what was healthy to get ahead, yet here everything was easy and in flow. Only later did I realise I had been preparing for this my whole life; all those hundreds, if not thousands, of interviews I'd been space-holding, creating a safe space to be vulnerable. That was my default by now, and the body, breath, and energy work.. turned out I had a solid foundation from my youth that I could fall back on. I went to get a better connection with my body; I came back with just that and a strong desire to help others. 

So here I am..
