<aside> My Professional Background
</aside>
Life took a bit of U-turn when my dreams of being an under 24 rugby player fell trough with two ankle surgeries. After the initial shock, I asked myself "if I cannot define myself by my speed and by my agility, who else am I?"
My training in Hatha + Iyengar has heightened my appreciation and connection for breath, body awareness, posture and discipline. Through my physical recovery I also learnt that injuries affect our ability to perceive and believe in ourselves.
A natural evolution of wanting to live life at its fullest - letting go of attachments and befriending the initial turbulent emotions - discovering the immense wisdom of the body and the natural knowing that lies deep inside of us.
My passion for emotive stories and human perspectives as journalist, photographer and videographer has showed me how our minds can easily fall trap to our own beliefs and how creativity can inspire us to go beyond problems.

I can sum up my life views through these two passions of mine:
</aside>
<aside> 👣 Nomadic Mindset (expanding)
</aside>
a desire to search and find energies that resonate with oneself in the world, to add to or be part of. Willing to trust oneself through intuition and inner knowing. Being open to question one beliefs and actions and to explore innovative ideas. Accepting fear as a natural response to personal growth by embodying playfulness (creative resourcefulness). Leading an experiential life of transformational change and reflective learning. [Photos]
<aside> 🌱 Gardening Mindset (grounding)
</aside>
being mindful of own surroundings and the sensory feedback that come from it. Being present with what is and managing the long term vision with the immediate task-orientated focus to ensure consistency and scalable growth. Providing for one’s own needs first to better serve and support others. Actively approaching waste as an opportunity to creatively up-cycle content for low-cost with high-return. [Photos]
