Women, it’s time to evolve beyond Feminism!
There was a time, not too long ago, in our developed world, when a woman wasn’t allowed to do many things that were normal for a man. She wasn’t allowed to study, to work (apart from in the house), to have an opinion, to vote, to run a marathon or to wear trousers for example. […]
Eating Animal Foods can be regenerative – Part 1: Human Health, Fertility & Nutrition
Introduction It seems that if you want to be a “good” and “enlightened” consumer these days, you have to “go vegan”. While I can understand the ethical, environmental and nutritional motivations fueling this trend, the whole notion that veganism is the most ethical, sustainable and healthiest way to eat is dangerously one-sided and misleading. Things […]
Food, Body & Life are your best friends, not your enemies
One of the most important mindset shifts you can make in order to develop a healthy and fertile relationship not only with Life, but also with your body and even with food (that then will translate into a healthy and fertile body according to the “as above-so below” principle) is to replace “enemy” with “friend” […]
The importance of the gut for health & fertility
If we consider that 70-80% of our immune system lies in the gut, it is crucial to talk about gut health as THE important factor to improve our overall health, well-being – and also fertility – all year long. Simplified, there are two main and interdependent aspects to gut health: gut flora and gut permeability. Gut flora Our gut […]
Food, Body and the Feminine
From a mere energetic point of view, food is Feminine. Food comes from MOTHER Earth and is solid matter and as such more Feminine than airy thoughts and consciousness. Soft fat is energetically also more Feminine than hard muscles. The allocation into Feminine or Masculine is not an evaluation. One is not better than the […]
Common Sense Nutrition Part 1
Nutrition is very simple. I know there are many people who tell you differently, because they are earning money with that and the more complicated it sounds, the more money they can make. However, if it was truly that difficult or complex that we’d have to consult experts before putting anything in our mouth, I […]
Why I am not in favor of assisted fertility treatments
This is a delicate topic, yet one that has to be raised and that I feel about very strongly. Most of my colleagues in the field of holistic fertility would tell you that their recommendations will be beneficial for you also during fertility treatments. While I do agree that they will definitely help you to […]
What is Your Creation Pattern ?
As above, so below. As within, so without. What happens on one level has its equivalent on all other levels. When it comes to fertility, this means that the way we create babies is likely to be equal or very similar to the way we create projects and vice versa. Looking deeply at what’s happening […]
How I manage food while in France
I am currently spending 6 weeks in France. Food is very important to me, so before I embarked on my journey, I made sure I would be covered well! I also wanted to avoid the supermarket as much as possible. Luckily, the friend I am renting the apartment from runs a bio shop, so I […]
I don’t want to hurt her
I listened to my burn and I stepped on my path. When it happened on the 18th of November, I deeply tuned into the soul message contained in this rather painful wake-up call and a few days later I set the intention to leave Brussels around the 15th of December, right after the delivery of […]
Absolute freedom vs. non-restriction
Absolute love equals absolute freedom. However, absolute freedom does NOT necessarily equal non-restriction. In fact, absolute freedom includes the freedom to CHOOSE restriction. And that is not necessarily a sign of ill-health. Just like not restricting yourself is not necessarily a sign of good health. Oftentimes clients tell me that their goal is to be […]
Truly loving Christmas gifts
It’s this time of year again… and you are probably busy thinking about presents! I don’t doubt your caring or good intentions as a giver. This is exactly why I confront you with a rather uncomfortable truth today: MOST OF THE GIFTS WE GIVE EACH OTHER IN THE NAME OF LOVE ARE NOT LOVING AT […]
Love yourself this Christmas
Christmas time (or festivities in general) are tightly connected to food. No wonder, because food doesn’t just provide us with energy, but also means connection, tradition, belonging… all of which is deeply nourishing and important. However, it can be a challenging time, if you try to eat healthy, because it’s also a time where cookies, […]
The soul lesson behind my burn
This is part 3 of my article on how to treat a burn from a Mind-Body-Nutrition Perspective. In part 1 I explained how I treated my 2nd degree burn externally to maximize healing and minimize scar formation. In part 2 I look at how to use nutrition to support healing from the inside. This 3rd part looks […]
How firm is your frame?
Recently my dance teacher told me to be even more rigid in my “frame” (I prefer to use the word “firm” since for me rigidity is when necessary firmness becomes exaggerated and unbalanced). It came as a surprise, because I thought I had a quite firm frame. I thought I knew how to follow well, […]
From meal planning to tantric cooking
I have shifted. The process that started a couple of years ago is embodied now. How do I know? Because my way of doing food has changed again. It struck me this week after another efficiency cooking session unfolded very differently than it used to. My cooking first evolved from “Masculine” to “Feminine” meal planning […]
What is regenerative / fertile food?
Switching from edible food products to natural and only gently processed foods is a necessary first step, but it cannot stop there, at least not if your goal is optimal health and fertility. If you want your food to optimally support your health and fertility, it needs to be grown in or raised on healthy […]
Breast Cancer Awareness is not Prevention
As every year in October, we see the pink ribbons all over. People run or march to support breast cancer awareness and research, thinking that this equals prevention. Yet in the very best of cases this helps to diagnose the condition and to start treatment earlier. It has nothing to do with prevention. PREvention means […]
