I was a regular client who frequently visited the spa for more than 20 years. It was a natural part of my life.

It was on my bucket list to build my own sauna in the garden, and in 2017 that dream came true. A wood-fired sauna with panoramic glass and a relaxation area was the final result. When my partner joined a massage course, she met a sauna master who introduced us to Martijn Van Hoorelbeke (Aromen). That changed everything: I gained access to the best essential oils, studied under Rob Keyser, and explored EO, Hammam, smoke therapy, and more. Over time, I also created the first personalized infusion spoon, born from my passion for wood and natural materials.

I’ve worked my way up in various wellness centers in Belgium, but my true joy lies in creating ceremonies and unique experiences. For me, it’s about blending heat, herbs, smoke, and intention into something transformative.

Since I have a sauna at home, I rarely go as a client anymore. These days, it’s mostly work-related.

It’s more than health. For me, sauna is about creating deeply personal moments for each guest – through heat, scent, and music with intention. It’s a holistic experience for both body and soul.

Winning HC Belgium in 2022 and finishing 5th at the world championships in Prague was unforgettable. But even more so, collaborating with Greet Van Bosstraeten to create Rituals of the Soul, where we blend masculine and feminine energies into unique ceremonies for small groups.

I work with many, but smoke rituals with birch branches and earthy scents hold a special place in my heart. They create an atmosphere that feels timeless and grounding.

I enjoy ceremonies that combine all elements – heat, water, herbs, smoke, music, and cold. It’s the synergy that makes them powerful, not a single component.

Every ritual creates something unforgettable, but what touches me most are those silent moments when guests leave with glowing eyes, clearly transformed by the experience.

Every ritual I create carries my soul and creativity. For me, it’s not just an act – it’s a vibrant experience that opens the heart and deepens life. That is the true inspiration I want to share.
