I grew up in Panheel, a small village in Central Limburg. Before joining the Chiropractic Centre, I spent many years working in the fashion industry, both as a sales assistant and a store manager. I first heard about the Chiropractic Centre through my friend Angela, who works at our practice in Sittard. When she asked me, “Why don’t you come and work with us?”, I decided to take the opportunity.

What I enjoy most about my job is the personal contact with patients. Many people visit us regularly, which means you gradually get to know them better. A friendly chat, a cup of coffee, and a little personal attention can make all the difference in helping patients feel welcome.I also love the variety in my work. Alongside scheduling appointments, I assist with iDXA scans and health assessments. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is seeing patients start to feel better. People sometimes arrive in pain and leave the practice feeling relieved and more comfortable. I believe it is important that patients feel at ease from the moment they walk through the door. Visiting a healthcare practice can sometimes feel a little daunting, especially for the first time. That is why I always try to make sure everyone feels welcome, listened to, and well cared for.

I live in Wessem, a lovely village along the River Meuse, with my husband. We have a daughter and a son, both of whom are now grown up.

In my free time, I love staying active. I enjoy playing pickleball, doing bootcamp and Pilates, and going for a jog. In winter, I love skiing, while summer is all about spending time out on the water in our boat. I also enjoy shopping, going out for a lovely lunch, and, of course, a really good cup of coffee!
