Flourish with Lipedema

Leiden, Zuid Holland

I founded Flourish with Lipedema to help women with lipedema heal, grow, and thrive. Lipedema comes with its challenges, but it doesn’t have to hold you back. Through body awareness, specialized massages, mindset, and self-love, I support women in reclaiming their strength, confidence, and well-being.

My Lipedema Journey

 

From a young age, I knew my body looked different from others, but I never really understood why. I thought it was because of my eating habits, something I struggled with for years. My relationship with food was unhealthy, and I felt trapped in a vicious cycle.


Everything changed when I saw a TV program about a girl with similar struggles who managed to heal her relationship with food through hypnotherapy. Inspired, I decided to try the same, and it completely transformed my life. My relationship with food improved, but something still didn’t feel right.


Because of my job in hospitality, I was always on my feet, but losing weight was still a challenge, especially around my knees, hips, and arms. My situation was manageable, until COVID changed everything. Going from long days on my feet to a desk job took a toll on my body. My legs felt heavier, their shape changed, and standing or walking for long periods became increasingly painful.


Through social media, I discovered lipedema and immediately recognized the symptoms in myself. I tried everything: connective tissue massages, cupping, maderotherapy, but nothing brought lasting relief.


When I first met Rachel, I wasn’t completely ready to commit to working on myself, but it planted a seed. Not long after, I decided to take back control of my body. I started a routine of regular exercise, healthier eating, and treatments with Rachel.


This combination changed everything. My pain decreased, I became stronger and more confident. I can now stand all day without a problem, and last summer, for the first time in years, I wore shorts again, a huge personal victory!


So when Rachel launched the Holistic Lipedema Coach training, I knew right away: this is what I want to do. I want to help other women feel good in their bodies again! You’re not alone, I’d love to guide you on your path to a better life.
