My style? Powerful and determined, but always with empathy and connection. I see you, I feel you, and I stand beside you throughout this journey. But I also ask for commitment. Because results don’t just happen, they are the outcome of dedication and consistency.
I know what you’re talking about, I know how you feel!
I have lipedema. For a long time, that was a secret, even from those closest to me. Because how do you explain what lipedema is when no one has heard of it? How do you make it clear that exercise and dieting don’t help, that your legs sometimes feel like lead, and that it’s not ‘just a bit of fat’?
Since my teenage years, my body started to change. My legs became heavier, sports didn’t help, my joints ached, and my clothing sizes above and below grew further apart. Two pregnancies sped up the process, and one day I realized: this isn’t going to go away on its own. It wasn’t until 2021 that the pieces finally came together. A doctor’s appointment confirmed it: lipedema, stage 2. At first, I felt relieved—finally an answer! But that relief quickly turned into panic because the message was clear: chronic, progressive, no cure.
But if you know me, you know I don’t give up. I tried everything: compression therapy, cryolipolysis, cupping, lymphatic drainage, connective tissue massages, anti-inflammatory diets… but nothing brought lasting improvement. Until I met Rachel in the Netherlands, who used specialized manual techniques combined with a healthy lifestyle. Within a few months, everything changed: my symptoms drastically decreased, my muscle strength returned during workouts, I lost weight and, most importantly, I felt physically and mentally stronger than ever. That was the moment I knew: I want to help others with lipedema as a Lipedema Coach. And today, I do that with all my heart and soul.
Are you ready to take steps forward?
Lipedema doesn’t have to control your life. There is a way to less pain, more energy, and a body that works for you instead of against you. And I would love to help you with that! Do you feel that full-on ‘YES’? Then I’m ready to get started with you. In fact, I can’t wait to meet you! Feel free to send me a message on Instagram. I hope to hear from you soon!
Love,
Kaat ❤️
