About me
Hi Glow-Getter,
I'm so glad you found She Glows.
Let me share a little more about my background and the experiences that led me to create this space.
Background
Because of several difficult experiences, including trauma and years of being bullied, I grew up with the belief that I wasn’t good enough.
That belief shaped so much of my life. It led to social anxiety, an unhealthy relationship with food, and a very fragile sense of self-worth.
In social situations, I often pulled back. I stayed quiet, afraid to make mistakes or fall short of what I thought others expected from me.
My self-image was so negative that I felt out of place everywhere,
as if I didn’t truly belong or hold any value.
I was constantly searching for reassurance, letting the reactions of the people around me determine how I felt about myself.
My relationship with food was complicated. At first, I coped by eating whenever I felt overwhelmed. Later, it shifted into the opposite, believing I didn’t deserve to eat and restricting myself for long periods.
I was deeply unhappy with myself. I compared myself to everyone around me and tried to live up to an impossible standard. I was my own harshest critic, continually tearing myself down. On the outside, I may have looked like a cheerful and confident girl, but inside I felt lost and wanted nothing more than to hide.
It took me ten years to work through these patterns. They were challenging years, but they were also incredibly meaningful. With the help of several psychologists I learned to process what I had been through and slowly began to see myself with more compassion.
Today I feel confident, grounded and genuinely happy. I look forward to the future and I enjoy meeting new people. My self image is positive and I have found a healthy balance in my relationship with food. The peace, confidence and inner stability I feel now are things I wish for every young woman. I know I am not the only one who has struggled and I want others to know that they do not have to go through it alone.
During my own search for support I noticed how difficult it can be to ask for help. The threshold often felt too high, waiting lists were long and most options were expensive. I wanted to create something different. A personal and accessible coaching journey without long waiting times and without barriers.
She Glows comes from my heart. It is a space where I guide young women, walk beside them and make sure they feel seen, supported and never alone. We all carry so much strength within us. Sometimes we just need someone who helps us reconnect with that inner light.
Ervaring
In 2022 I graduated with a degree in Social Pedagogical Assistance from the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam. After graduating, I felt it was not yet the right moment to enter the care sector. I wanted to find my own balance and sense of happiness before supporting others. Because of that, I chose to gain experience in other fields first, which led me into retail. Eventually I grew into the role of store manager at My Jewellery in The Hague, where I was responsible for leading a team of twelve girls, running the store and conducting performance conversations.
Over time I realised that my true passion was in the one to one conversations. The personal contact and the joy of discovering each team member’s strengths were the moments that fulfilled me the most. That experience guided me back to my original calling: helping people through my social pedagogical background.
During my studies I completed several internships, including my graduation internship at GGZ Rivierduinen Eetstoornissen Ursula, where I supported girls with eating disorders through group therapy and individual coaching.
Alongside She Glows, I currently work as a youth worker for girls at gro up community work in Gouda. There I provide one to one coaching and teach the Girls Talk program in schools, a method developed by Rutgers to help girls become more resilient in their relationships and sexual well being. I also completed professional training at Rutgers in order to teach this program. During my studies I followed the minor Train the Trainer, where I learned how to develop and deliver training programs.
With my experience in conversational skills and coaching young women, I dedicate myself each day to supporting them in their personal growth and self development. Every person carries their own strength and their own story.
