This episode is for every woman, literary. I never thought of pelvic floor as something I need to 'check' after my pregnancy and delivery.

I sit with Britt van Hees, Amsterdam based pelvic floor physiotherapist and founder of 1-Below, for a deeply informative and refreshingly honest conversation about pelvic floor ...

In this episode of the She Thrives podcast, I discuss the importance of women's health awareness and advocacy. No one can empower us more that we can do ourselves – and the first step to do is take time to document your symptoms.

If you are in Amsterdam – below are a few links to check out: - pri...

I am glad that my perspective is changing, evolving and become more inclusive. Stress management is very personal and often requires different strategy for different people. What works is what you do consistently, daily. One 90-min workshop will create short term effect, will get you curious maybe, will show you what's possible, but will not create change. Change comes with consistency. If you feel like your anxiety levels are constantly high – ask yourself what ...
