philosophy BA / (psychedelic) chaplain MA / semi-retired model / hurdler / learning how to act
đđťââď¸ always doing 10 projects at once đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Cum laude afgestudeerd đ in alle leuke drukte zou ik het bijna vergeten te posten, maar wat een feestje was afgelopen jaar. Veel prachtige gesprekken mogen hebben, een fantastisch onderzoek (over psychedelica!) gedaan (die tevens genomineerd is voor een scriptieprijs hallo!!!) en gewerkt als geestelijk verzorger bij OLVG met een team die ik in mijn hart heb gesloten âĽď¸ duizendmaal dank voor alle studenten, docenten, medewerkers en collegaâs.
Comeback at the nationalsđď¸ââď¸
Had a lot of fun, improved my 100m PB with nearly 1.0 sec this season, learned from my disqualification at 100m hurdles and got to run in the same series with @veerlesimons after 10 years! âĽď¸

Itâs so funny how quickly your bodyâs capacities and strength change. After years of modeling - where muscles were not helpful for the high end fashion sizes - I wanted to feel strong in my body again. Thus, I decided to go back to my first love: athletics. Sports have always been like therapy to me, and a way to grow mentally and spiritually (I believe >50% of results in sports are caused by mental focus anyway). After a year of consistency and focus, I am happy for (and surprised by) this small milestone âĽď¸

I wrote a song about se//xual assault.
It was so scary to write, share and sing this song.
And even though I was actually doubting whether to post this video (I wasnât really happy with the way my voice sounded - but hey, Iâm still learning to cope with the nerves and be comfortable on a stage), I do feel I still want to share the message.
Maybe it helps you not to feel so alone or ashamed. Because thatâs the funny thing with trauma and assault: we donât talk about it because of our shame. We might feel like weâre the one to blame, like weâre guilty. The guilt and shame creeps up inside. Like we want to crawl outside our own skin, while we cannot really grasp why. And sadly, it sometimes even becomes a vessel for distrust and itchy relationships.
Please donât sweep this under the rug. Please donât feel ashamed.
If you do feel like talking, please find organizations like @centrumseksueelgeweld or any other professional help, and rewrite a new story for yourself. One that makes you feel proud to have a womanâs body - not afraid.

Mooie meisjes poepen niet⌠of wel? We hadden de eer om aanwezig te zijn bij de première van #mmpn. Lieve @sannesavelsbergh wat een prachtige en taboedoorbrekende docu-serie heb je in elkaar gezet. En wat een verademing voor alle vrouwen waarvan eindelijk hun verhaal nog niet eerder werd gehoord (terwijl hun schaamte zo prominent was). Taboe en schaamte doorbreek je door erover te praten. Het onderwerp aan de kaak te stellen - waarmee je hopelijk nieuwe, nog onzichtbare verhalen zichtbaar maakt. Youâre a Limburgse badass đ ik ben geĂŻnspireerd.
Every good thing comes an end đ
Iâve decided to leave the modeling industry for now. Sometimes, youâve got to let something good go in order to receive something better.
I came as a young 14 y/o girl into this industry and more than 13 years later, Iâm taken a step back.
Dear fashion industry and people, I thank you so much.
For all the laughs we had on set.
For all the dreams that came true.
For all the places in the world weâve enjoyed together.
For all the deep, personal talks while I sat in the make-up chairs.
But also thank you for all the painful, hard moments, that brought me spiritual life lessons - I wouldnât have been the strong, kind person I am today without it.
Iâm curious to see whatâs next. What other doors might open for me - now that Iâve closed such a big one.
Itâs scary: not to know what comes next⌠But Iâm gonna dive into the unknown. Letâs see what comes my way.
