What is change?

What is change? 27 June 2023 W H A T   I S   C H A N G E ? Our time in the Netherlands is coming to an end, and when I read that my dear friend @mirjam.christine.hope was hosting a session around change, I knew I had to be part of it. Change.  It feels like my life at this moment is change only. Big changes only. Transitions in life. The one is me transitioning to being a mother, […]

Life Transitions

Life Transitions 6 April 2022 life transitions   I have been thinking a lot lately about life transitions. More specifically about navigating through life transitions. Those times in your life where your foundation is swept away. The major upheavals in life, where everything feels uncertain and change and uncertainty are the only constants in your daily life.  Life transitions like a new job, stepping into a serious relationship, being confronted with death, divorce or break up or a move to […]

Feminine Economy

Feminine Economy 9 May 2021 Dreaming of a Feminine Economy One of my biggest questions in my journey of choosing to become a mom or not has been, can I still run my own business and live my passion, and be a magical mom who is present with her children and family? Without too much stress and pressure (and preferably no stress and pressure :)) In the end my choice was merely made by this soul who really wanted to […]

Birthed into Motherhood

Birthed into Motherhood 27 April 2021 Being birthed into motherhood, a rite of passage Last week was a lot of ‘last times’, when it came to my work. I finished  my last coaching package, and with that a beautiful journey with a woman into realizing that all she had been searching for outside of her, is actually inside: “It was me I was looking for”. The last sister circle for a while, with such a nourishing soft sensual energy. The […]

The Cyclic Feminine

The Cyclic Feminine 12 April 2021 Today I would love to share a bit more on honoring the cyclic Feminine. Since I am heading more and more towards giving birth to our beautiful and sacred son, and seeing and feeling the current state of our world, the Feminine and her cyclic nature is asking for attention.  She Blooms.  She was born about 6 years ago. Out of an extensive and in-depth research for my thesis on young adolescents and sexuality […]

Letting Go is A Greatest Art

Letting Go is A Greatest Art 23 September 2020 Letting go, is a greatest art of living. Although for me this blog does not come as a surprise, and a period of doubt and questioning has preceded this, I write this letter with a sad but knowing heart. Last week when I was walking around the block I got this insight that I may stop with She Blooms. In the meaning of that I won’t sell soaps anymore and that […]

Blooming

Blooming. 23 May 2018 What a crazy ride it was! From the moment the Africa project got the name She Blooms, my journey started. In order to be able to make other women celebrate their womanhood, I had to first do that myself. Completely. To every extend and with every cell of my being. A few years ago, a new friend asked me if I felt feminine. My answer was no. She was surprised because she thought I was everything […]

(s)he, too

She Too 23 October 2017 I have waited for the biggest #metoo storm to pass, one the hand because I often need more time to let things sink in and on the other hand because I felt an inner conflict. One voice told me all the time that I MUST write something, since She Blooms is all about female sexuality. The other voice whispered softly that I did not have too, only if I really felt like. She Blooms is […]

Reset

Reset 23 April 2017 This journey of She Blooms is one big journey inside of myself. After I have arrived in Africa I may first reset myself. My phone dies and with this the connection with my common network. My accommodation seemed to fit fantastic, although I realize that I made this decision mostly with my mind and I forgot to feel with my belly and heart. Today I read in the book of Chantal (on high heels in Africa) […]
