Biography

Born in Baexem, The Netherlands, 21st April 1958. Through youth work I came into contact with Scotland. Since then I have been connected to this beautiful country. Scotland is my second home and the most important energy source for my spiritual development. When my husband died in 1984 I was left behind with my daughter of 1 ½ years. This was, for me, the beginning of developing self – awareness and spirituality.

My visits to an astrologer especially helped me to hold on and believe in myself. My enthusiasm for astrology was awoken and has never left me. I trained to become a professional astrologer in Tilburg with Martien Hermes and Jerome Korse. I learned spiritual astrology from Monique Leurink at the International School of Metaphysical Astrology in Amsterdam. I also followed various courses and training, e.g. Kabbalah and spirituality. Regarding the Kabbalah and spirituality in astrology, you never stop learning and developing. I did the Holistic Pulsing training in Maastricht with Hanneke de Vries.

For the first part of my working life I was a qualified librarian and was part of the Social and Cultural Work team of The Department of Justice. I worked in several prisons for twelve years. Apart from working in the library in these prisons, some of my other tasks included teaching music and organising cultural activities. These years had a positive impact on my development. I learned many social skills, most importantly to respect every human being for what he/she is. I learned to see the real person behind the mask of criminality and addiction.
