Feeling at home within yourself
I manage to live as a fulltime housesitter because I feel at home with myself. Through a feeling of deep trust, I’m able to make choices from my heart. Do you trust what your heart is whispering to you?
After experiencing three major losses in the past twenty years, I’ve turned my life upside down. I went on a spiritual journey and… found home within myself.
I share my experience by speaking and writing. Watch my TEDx-talk and learn how I celebrate both painful and beautiful events.

You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.
– Rumi
Let go of what is holding you back
Why would you stick to something that doesn’t give you energy?
A free life without unnecessary ballast is achievable for everyone. But in the meantime we keep ourselves trapped by all kinds of fears, doubts and what we think society expects of us.
The more you let go, the more you come home to yourself. To your true desires. I listen to my heart, don’t worry too much and get the best surprises every day.
I don't have a house...
Since April 2016 I live as a modern-day nomad. As a housesitter I live in the house of someone who is on vacation. I am free to make choices that are inspired by my heart. This didn’t happen just like that: in a nine-year period I gradually let go of more and more expectations, concepts and belongings.
I actively searched for what blocked me and started working on it. Through bodywork and meditation, I let go of old patterns and limiting beliefs.
...and I practice what I preach
My personal and spiritual transformation was further enhanced by participation in The School for the Work (2017) by Byron Katie. I practice what I preach: I regularly initiate major changes if I feel that my old plan no longer fits. This is possible because of my strong confidence that life will provide exactly what I need.
