Gezondheidscentrum de Brandepoort

What is your role and what gives you energy in your work?

Pedicure. Being able to cater to each patient’s individual care needs, and providing advice and explanations, is an important part of my treatment. When a patient feels good after treatment – especially following pain – and shares this with me straight away, it gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

What is your favourite quote, motto or tip to help people get through life more easily?

If, as a patient, you understand why, how or as a result of what symptoms arise, you are often more motivated to actively take greater responsibility for the care of your feet, as an essential part of self-care.

How can you tell from your work that it really suits you?

if you start to see clear improvement or results with well-maintained treatments. A solid foundation helps to minimise unexpected problems.

What do you do outside of work that people might not expect of you?

I am a relationship coach for people and their four-legged friends, dogs. Problems with a dog’s behaviour are often a reflection of the owner’s (unconscious) body language or posture. For owners who are open to reflecting on themselves in relation to the disrupted relationship between themselves and their dog.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

I hope to gain a great deal of experience from all my colleagues and patients at Rondom
