Professional development
"The correct analogy for the mind is not a vessel that needs filling, but wood that needs igniting" - Plutarch
I started off my professional career as a registered nurse more than 20 years ago and loved it very much. I was known as the nurse who knew their patients beyond their charts, was known to be efficient, organized, and always on top of the latest research about conditions and treatments. I was also known to be empathetic, connecting with my patients on a deep level, beyond my job description.
My nursing career was followed by a career as nurse policy consultant before I studied to become a trauma therapist.
Additionally to RTT I am certified in Brainworking Recursive Therapy, and the Neuroaffective Relational Model. With the combination of modalities I use, I can help my clients resolve different types of issues, in particular complex trauma, effectively.
Now, as an RTT & BWRT practitioner, a certified parent coach, and a certified hypnobirthing teacher, I can fully serve my clients with 20+ years of experience in health, working with people to improve their wellbeing.
