Integrative Women’s Health Specialist
Holistic care, support & education: from preconception to menopause
The female body moves in cycles and tells a story. Month after month, and through the different stages of life. From fertility and pregnancy to the menopause.
Natural Waves in Utrecht is a space where we listen together to what your body is whispering, so it can be heard. So that you can move with resilience along with the waves of life.

Fertility & Preconception Support in the Netherlands
Your reproductive journey does not begin with pregnancy.
It begins with the state of your cycle, your nervous system, your hormonal balance.
Natural Waves offers holistic fertility and reproductive health support in the Netherlands, helping women prepare for pregnancy, navigate fertility challenges and move through pregnancy and postpartum with confidence.
Preconception support combines cycle awareness, hormonal balance, and nervous system flow to prepare the body for conception, whether naturally or alongside medical fertility treatment. To support your body and help you stay rooted in trust. Aligned with how obstetric and fertility care works in the Netherlands.

🍁 Autumn Wave – Cycles & Menstrual Health
“The warm, amber currents of reflection.”
This wave moves through all the phases of the reproductive life cycle. From moving in tune with the monthly seasons of the cycle to the raw experience of loss, including stillbirths and miscarriages.
Your body speaks. To me, menstrual symptoms are not glitches that need to be ‘fixed’, but signals that tell you something about how you’re really feeling.
In my practice in Utrecht, we don’t start by changing things, but by listening. Everything that has become stuck within your body is allowed to gently start moving again here. A safe space where the unspoken and the cyclical are welcome.
❄️ Winter Wave – Perimenopause & Menopause
“The quiet, silver hush before a new horizon.”
- Preparing your whole being for a fresh spring
- Rest, restoration, and inner reflection
- Honouring cycles, consolidating lessons
This season supports perimenopause and menopause, a powerful threshold of recalibration and renewal.

Supporting Waves of Life — Not Just Moments
Life does not unfold in isolated events.
It moves in waves.
At Natural Waves, we integrate body, mind, and life stage to prepare you for each reproductive transition: menstrual health, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.
This work is not about quick fixes. It is about creating the conditions for what wants to move, with steadiness, softness, and clarity.

A Cyclical Approach to Women’s Health
Women are cyclical beings, not linear performers.
Your body shifts.
Your hormones fluctuate.
Your emotional landscape evolves.
Instead of pushing through transitions, I guide you to listen.
With over 10 years of clinical experience in integrative health and specialised expertise in fertility and women’s healthcare, Natural Waves provides a sanctuary for women navigating life’s reproductive thresholds.
As a qualified specialist and experienced childbirth educator, having guided couples through group and private courses for over four years, I combine grounded medical knowledge with an embodied presence. Whether you are preparing to conceive, giving birth, recovering postpartum, or entering menopause, your journey deserves dedicated preparation, integration, and expert care.
By giving you the space to soften and letting your life energy flow, what was always already whole begins to unfold.
