About Demi
My story
here has always been a deeper knowing within me that not everything is as it seems in this world, and that there is more than just the physically observable. Even at a young age, I was interested in spirituality and enjoyed exploring it.
At that time, there was little guidance available to me in this area, and I was encouraged to forge my own path. This often left me feeling lonely and misunderstood, but ultimately led to a stronger inner foundation.
After finishing high school, I chose to study psychology. I learned a lot, but also realized that I was missing some deeper elements in my textbooks. Furthermore, I didn’t learn how to transform my own pain, fears, and limiting beliefs in a profound way.
This was especially difficult because I experienced many themes and fears within myself that had nothing to do with my own life but were much deeper (think of traumas in the family line). After graduating, I decided to further develop myself on a holistic level.
The years that followed consisted of an intensive healing and holistic therapy education and the rediscovery of energetic work. During this education, there was a strong focus on my own inner process, as this is the foundation for working as a clear guide for others. I gained clarity about the fears, old beliefs, feelings of powerlessness and the many chronic physical pains that I often experienced. I learned to hear/feel my own intuition again and started to get to know myself on deeper layers.

During those years, I also started my own practice (still in the Netherlands at the time), where I worked as a (holistic) psychologist, bridging the gap between psychology and energetic work.
As I explored various perspectives, practices, and teachings within more ‘spiritual’ communities, I developed a strong sense of discernment. Many teachers and teachings did not resonate with me. I found that many of these paths lead to something ‘external’, feel ungrounded, or keep people stuck in cycles of healing and confusion. Through this exploration, I discovered that true and sustainable growth, inner harmony, clarity, and joy come from being deeply grounded in your own body and connected to your own intuition. From that place, you can form a deeper connection with your true self—laying the foundation for creating a life that is fully aligned with your soul. This realization led me to carve out my own path, developing a grounded approach to holistic work.
My holistic approach is always rooted in groundedness. When you work with me, I guide you while staying connected to my own soul and intuition—and I help you remember how to connect with yourself in the same way. The insights you gain during our sessions, along with transformative experiences, are combined with practical tools to integrate into your daily life. You will be empowered to become your own guide, and you’ll come to experience that this inner journey can be easy, playful, and even enjoyable!
I have developed a strong non-judgmental attitude and deep compassion for others. I know that everyone has their own processes and struggles and I love nothing more than to remind someone again of his or her potential and true essence.
The moment I see someone getting in touch with their own soul and wisdom again, combined with this inner spark coming alive – that makes my soul really happy.
I have moved to Sweden to set up a small-scale retreat center here with my partner and parents. I offer 1-on-1 retreats and small-scale group-retreats here on location. Besides that, I have online offerings, writings and meditations that guide you on your inner journey.
