Though I am originally from Belgium, I moved to the U.S.A. when I was a child. I became a U.S. citizen in my 20’s. I speak Flemish fluently, understand French, but English is definitely my best language. I have lived in several states along the Eastern seaboard, so I am familiar with moving and to be raised around other cultures.

My entire extended family lives in different countries and I do go back and visit them, when I can. I have had many health complications throughout my life. This long hard road, has taught me a lot about self-care, the mind/body connection, and the understanding of how a medical diagnosis can change your entire life.

I choose to use my experiences to help others who are also living with chronic illnesses. I enjoy horse-back riding, going for walks in the park with my dog, reading, playing tennis, art work, movies, and spending time with family/friends.
