Although I have enjoyed many sports, there is one sport that has dominated a large part of my life and that is swimming. After studying and training in the United States for a number of years, I was able to conquer a spot in the Dutch national team. As a regular member of the women's relay team, I participated in several European Championships, World Championships and Olympic Games (Sydney and Athens), with the highlight of a bronze medal at the 2004 Games.

During my professional sports career I learned how to work systematically towards a goal. During my training at the AALO (Fitness Trainer A and B, Fitness Master, Personal Trainer and Nutritionist) and my work at the Swimgym in Amsterdam, I have gained the necessary experience and knowledge to achieve results. Throw in my humor and enthusiasm and that creates the Personal Trainer you are looking for!

I myself have a healthy lifestyle and notice, especially now that I'm getting a little older, that a little attention to nutrition, enough exercise and enough hours of sleep every night have an incredible impact on your quality of life. Around me I see many people who are not aware of this or who are having a hard time to improve these habits on their own. I am excited to train and coach clients in these challenges and help them improve the quality of their lives.
