Due to personal positive experiences with osteopathy, I came into contact with this interesting vision on human functioning and I made the choice to do this education. I graduated in September 2019 as an osteopath at College Sutherland, Amsterdam.
Before I started studying osteopathy, I worked as a physiotherapist for 22 years in a hospital and currently in a rehabilitation center.
Since October 2019 I have my own osteopathy practice in Amsterdam.
I believe in a different and alternative view of physical functioning. I am convinced that regular and alternative care do not conflict each other.
In addition to a great interest in the human body, I already have hobbies. I like boxing, traveling and listening to music. |
