A little and a lot about me..

 

In my twenties and early thirties I was a Top Chef in the Netherlands where I ran my highly acclaimed restaurant: Bellefroid. Cooking is Alchemy and it was my apprenticeship into alchemical understandings. It also taught me that being a master in what you do is very important and that I could achieve anything I wanted.

I have run several businesses in my time. From a restaurant to a whole sale business selling wagyu beef and truffles to the top London restaurants to The Sacred Alchemy which was about empowering people to to connect to their highest self.

To achieve success in my businesses I built on the same principles I learned a chef.

In the alchemical journey something happens when you are at the sage of opening your heart.

In 2009 I started my Foundation The Extraordinary Ones, about our interconnectedness. Our concept Fill the Cup was the very successful raising funds to feed children in developing countries. I see this period as the transformation into becoming truly myself and living my true purpose.

In 2015 I was asked to help open a kitchen in the refugee camp in Calais, France. A project I am very proud of. From feeding a few hundred people every day we went to setting up a food distribution for 10 thousand people. I used all my inner and outer skills to make this happen.

The coming together of all my projects so far.

The simple act of getting to know others around the table holds transformative powers.

In a world where the growing gap between human beings is ever wider sharing a meal with others has the power to shift our perceptions, to expand our views of equality and connection, and to take this away from the table..

Alchemy is about the transformation of our soul. To rediscover and realign with who we really are.

As an Alchemist I guide people through that transformation.

The alchemists journey is one of going within.

I do that through my writing, speaking and my daily posts inspiring people and changing their perspective.
