A little bit about us:
Rianne Wolswinkel
I am a Yoga Therapist (c-IAYT), Thai Bodyworker and Ayurvedic Health Consultant.
With a background in molecular biology, I have always been fascinated by the human body. Through challenges in my life with panic attacks and a chronic kidney autoimmune condition, these holistic practices have helped me stabilize my health and dramatically increase my well-being and that of my clients. It makes me so happy to be able to share this with others.
Julie Monseweyer
As a master in physical education and movement sciences, I have always been passionate about health, movement and wellbeing.
When I discovered Yoga, bodywork and Ayurveda, the pieces of the puzzle fell into place more and more. Linking the physical to the mental, emotional and spiritual is a fascinating journey that I like to share with people. You can contact me for Ayurvedic yoga massage, Yoga (Hatha, Yin, Sup), Ayurvedic nutrition and lifestyle consultations and soon also Ayurvedic treatments.
