Who is Nynke
I am a woman, pioneer, nomad, truth lover, in service to creative and passionate living. In the forty years I have spent here on precious mother earth, I can see a thread of living life by following my inspiration and an inner calling to find meaning and to be in service of life.
My Story
I grew up in a small village in the Frisian countryside. At the age of 18, I left my family home to start my education in fashion management and business. Since then, I have lived in many places in the Netherlands and abroad for study, work, and adventures. I developed the capacity to be flexible and move according to my heart’s voice, and wherever I am, I make a home, find something meaningful to do, and build community.
​
After completing my studies, an entrepreneurial journey followed. I have been involved in different pioneering and innovative ventures, which made me realise that real change starts from within and that I had to truly embody it. Working hard and passionately, though, I wasn’t aware of how much I was disconnected from my body until around my 30s, when health issues in my pelvis started to demand my attention. And I knew my body had something important to tell me. It marked a turning point. With curiosity, I started the journey into my wise body.
It led me down the path of healing and embodiment. I have gone through over ten years of training and coaching in the fields of intimacy, sexuality and trauma, all of which greatly supported my healing journey. It ignited in me a deep longing to get to know myself and embody more and more the woman I am. I continue to peel away layers of conditioning, listen to the voice of my body, and practice with devotion. It’s a journey towards maturity and becoming unshakable, abundant, joyful, and free.
The treasures of tools and practices that served me so well, I now share with others in the spaces that I hold for healing, self-exploration, and empowerment.
