My Approach
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s lifelong capacity to rewire, adapt, and learn.
As a practitioner neuroplastician, I explore how you can intentionally support your biology for growth, change, and sustainable health
This is not a peripheral interest. It is deeply woven into everything I do, as a person, as a coach, as a supervisor and in my specialization as a neuroplastician,
Background and Credentials
My curiosity about the functioning of the body was initially sparked during my academic education as a nutritionist-researcher at WUR, Netherlands.
Later, with the certification program of Conversational Intelligence (C-IQ), and several other educational programs I explored how neurochemistry shapes our wellbeing, thinking, feeling and resilience.
In 2020, my first article — Inclusion and the Brain — in this field deepened that inquiry — opening a new dimension across my work as coach, supervisor, and nutritionist.
Since 2023, I have been part of npnHub, the international professional community of neuroplasticians.
Since February 2024, I have been registered as a Master Neuroplastician (M.npn)
Contributions to the Field
Neuroscience gave me a language that connected threads I had always felt belonged together. Some of that work:
- Guided workshops form the perspective of applied neuroscience for coaches and supervisors at ANSE Summer University in Budapest (2023) and Munich (2025)
- Co-authored several academic articles about the heart-brain dynamics in leadership decision-making with M.npn Selma Kalkavan
- With the npnInstitute, I co-designed the learning pathways and competency framework for all three credentialing tiers
- Since September 2025, I lead the pilot program NPARS — Neuroplastician Practice Alignment Review Sessions, also implementing its group supervision sessions
- Read my recent blogs, such as: A shift is underway in supervision, and The neurobiology of pretending to be fine.
