She is educated in Child & Social Developmental & Behavioural science, plus Social Work and has worked professionally counselling families, children&youth and health professionals for more than two and a half decades.
Yolanda will be available for online counseling and consultations in Dutch and English. Being Dutch, her approach is direct and hands-on.
From 2014 on she dedicates her life to the teachings of ancient India, learning traditional (healing) tools that gives fullfilment, joy, beauty and happiness in life. She feels it's not enough to apply it to her own life but the need to teach and coach others to make a difference in their own lives with this effective and new mindset. . Being a dedicated practitioner has revealed her true life purpose to bringing beauty to the life of others.
She travels to India every year, that feels like coming home to her.
Her own health and spiritual journey started when she was in her twenties and was troubled by digestive issues. First she started with Yoga Nidra as a recovery practice after intense surgery, after that discovering the beauty of the Yoga Asanas. In 2013 when she travelled for a long period in Asia she met her teacher Dharma Bodhi who introduced her to the path of the Dharma and Ayurveda. As it healed her in such a profound way and gave her the body/mind connection she started to train in Ayurveda (the knowledge of life) as an Ayurveda therapist in Kerala, India through extensive apprenticeships with 2 remarkable teachers:
- Dr.Ashwin Shastry (Karnataka)
- Dr. Raveendranath (Kerala) @ Ponthottam ashram.
