Born in the Netherlands, I am a mother and grandmother with a background in education, chaplaincy and counselling.

My current ministry in Spiritual Direction combines the use of Sandplay Therapy as a tool to help a directee further discern the Spirit at work. I am also a practicing funeral celebrant and teach meditation as a volunteer in the community where I live in Brighton.

My interests include art, singing, dance, movies, reading, walking and gatherings with family and friends.

Favourite Scripture:                Deut 30:19 I have set before you life and death, both blessings and curses. Choose life.

Favourite Book:                       Love Stories by Trent Dalton

Favourite Movie:                     Walk the Line

Favourite Quote:                  The fruit of silence is prayer; The fruit of prayer is faith; The fruit of faith is love; the fruit of love is service. Mother Theresa.

Memorable Moment:               A sibling reunion in 2012 where all nine of us were present. Although we regularly meet every 12 – 18 months, having all of us together to  share a dinner was extra special.
