From a young age, I felt deeply connected to my intuition. I did not always understand it, but somehow it often guided me in the right direction.
As I grew older, that connection slowly faded. During my teenage years, I stopped listening to my inner voice and became determined to discover life in my own way. I was independent, impulsive and rarely concerned with what others thought. Even when I sensed that something was not right for me, I often continued anyway.
Looking back, I would not change those experiences. Every choice, every challenge and every lesson shaped me into the woman I am today.
At the age of 22, I moved to Spain on my own, convinced that I could build a new life by myself. After a year, I returned to the Netherlands and moved back in with my parents. Instead of slowing down and processing everything I had been through, I pushed my feelings aside and simply kept moving forward.
Not long afterwards, I met my partner and soon became pregnant with our first son. Becoming a mother changed me in ways I never expected. I became calmer, more present and more grounded. Caring for the people I love helped me rediscover what it means to live with peace, purpose and intention.
A few years later, I built a career in banking. From the outside, life looked secure, but inside I felt that something was missing. I longed for more freedom, deeper meaning and work that truly came from my heart.
After becoming a mother for the second time, I realised how important it was to care for myself as deeply as I cared for my family. My body was asking me to slow down. Living with ulcerative colitis showed me how closely the body, emotions and energy can be connected.
It became an important turning point in my life. I knew I wanted to make different choices for myself, for my wellbeing and for the future I wanted to create for my family.
For the first time in years, I truly began listening to myself again.
That became the beginning of my healing journey.
I explored Reiki, shamanism, sound healing and energy work. Then I experienced Kundalini Activation, and something shifted within me. It was not simply something I learned; it was something I deeply felt. It reminded me of the connection I had known as a child and helped me reconnect with my body, my emotions and my own inner wisdom.
Over time, I completed Reiki Levels 1 and 2 and continued my development through Kundalini Activation, NRGY and COSMIC training.
Later, my family and I made the decision to move to Spain. This time, it was not about running away or proving that I could do everything alone. It was a conscious choice to create a life that felt more peaceful, aligned and true to who I had become.
That is how Lumira Awakenings was born.
Today, I create intimate and heart-led spaces where people can slow down, release what they have been carrying and reconnect with themselves.
I know what it feels like to lose touch with yourself. To keep going while ignoring your own needs. That is why I create spaces where you do not have to perform, prove anything or be anyone other than yourself.
I do not believe healing is about becoming someone new.
I believe healing is about remembering who you have always been.
My intention is to gently guide you back to what already lives within you.
A space to release, reconnect and come home to yourself.
