Hi, I am

Houda

How wonderful that you have found your way here!

In short:

I help women who have the courage to choose happiness and are ready to rewrite their old story, creating space in both their minds and hearts.


Why do I do this?

Life is too beautiful not to enjoy, that's my outlook. This doesn't mean it's always sunny. My life has its own peaks and valleys too.


In 2020, I worked as a nurse in the emergency department. It was a year where the pressure on healthcare was unprecedentedly high, and I faced numerous personal challenges while my family life kept going. It was overwhelming, but I did what I was good at – I kept going!


It sounded like a plan, but somewhere along the way, I lost myself. I looked under the rug, in the storage room... No, kidding aside, I didn’t feel okay. I was restless, and one day, I had severe heart palpitations while calmly sitting in a chair listening to someone. I thought – what the h*ll is going on?


Once home, I broke down. I called my manager and said, "I won’t be coming back for a while," and that was the beginning of something unknown, a journey I had no idea where it would lead.

“Coaching and EFT made a difference in my life.”

Something inside me knew that if I wanted to get out of this quickly, I needed help. I’m glad I listened to that voice because my life began to take a positive turn when I started working with a coach, who also introduced me to EFT, something I had never heard of before.


I hadn't felt such deep relaxation in ages; what a relief it was. All my complaints, including the physical ones, disappeared.


I took my recovery very seriously and began to delve more into the inner journey and our self-healing abilities. It didn't take long before I decided that I had to do more with this.


I started exploring themes such as the mind-body relationship, happiness, and energy psychology, such as EFT and NLP.


During that period, the thought of starting my own business came up more and more frequently. I didn't overthink it and followed my heart.


Exciting? Yes. Magical? Absolutely!


Just like in my previous work, I wanted to help as many people as possible and introduce them to EFT, from young to old. The results continue to amaze me.


I truly enjoy seeing someone feel reconnected and doing things that resonate with them from that energy.


I can honestly say that I am very proud of the women I have been able to help, each one living up to their ideals.


These are all women who want to get more out of life without shortchanging themselves and without wasting too much time because the family is still there.


I always say, bring your doubts and insecurities with you because we are going to clear them out.


Are you ready to exceed yourself?

Let’s get you back on track

My Background and Education

I grew up in Delft and later in Rotterdam, where I also studied. When I was 20, my father became very ill, a year in which I also decided to join the Navy.


I transformed from a girl in heels who had never seen the inside of a gym to a woman who was named "Best Woman" in military training. My father was proud. Not long after, he passed away.


I was trained as a military nurse, went on many exercises, and in 2003, I was deployed to Iraq. After eight years, I felt my military backpack was sufficiently filled, and I took the leap to work in the emergency department.


A place with just as much action as in the defense, which suited me well. By then, I had also developed a taste for sports, and I started teaching group classes in Body Attack, Bodypump, and Pilates. I still do this today.


I have always enjoyed learning, so in 2015, I decided to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition & Dietetics. Four intensive years of working, studying, caring for two young children, and looking after my mother. Not easy!


This sparked another passion because, ultimately, I thought, all this knowledge about nutrition is nice, but there is another aspect – the person themselves with all their thoughts, ideas, and experiences. Why do people make poor choices, why do they take such poor care of their bodies, and how can this be changed? These questions fascinated me more than the scale and counting calories.


The story behind it is what interests me, and now I understand why I do what I do. I am more interested in the person, not just what they consume.


Starting my own business began with a year-long coaching course, and I studied happiness and well-being at the Happiness Studies Academy.


At Novet, I learned Gold Standard EFT from one of the master trainers, a former doctor who now only prescribes EFT as a treatment.


My Vision

Nothing is as it seems; we are capable of much more than we think and what others make us believe. I believe that as humans, we have everything within us to heal what needs healing, to grow to incredible heights, and to trust our inner knowledge. We must have the courage to make that choice.


A Few Facts About Me…

- I married my soulmate within eight months, and after all these years, we are still madly in love.

- We traveled for nearly six months with just plane tickets and a hotel booking in hand, exploring the Philippines, New Zealand, and Thailand

with our kids, who were 2.5 and 4 years old at the time.

- As soon as I hear music, my hips start dancing.

- I can spend hours wandering through a city, marveling at all the art and architecture.

- I despise high humidity; my hair just can't handle it.

- Nature holds a magical charm for me.

- Yes, I am a chocolate lover!

- Until recently, I never saw myself as a dog person. I didn't want one and it wasn't going to happen. But then I made the mistake of looking at an adoption site, and I melted when I saw Gina's little face. She is now an integral part of our family.


These little insights give you a peek into my life and personality. I look forward to sharing more of my journey with you and helping you on your path to growth and fulfillment.

An eternal student of life, Do good, Live well, and Give back.

And yes, I also have off days.
