A doctor who left — and came back transformed

After nearly a decade as an elderly care physician in the Netherlands, I watched pharmaceutical medicine fail my patients repeatedly. When I left conventional practice at the end of 2020, I didn't just leave a job — I left an entire paradigm of health care that had stopped making sense.

With a renowned practice and a position as medical director within reach, I chose instead to preserve my integrity. I questioned the lockdown measures and was deeply concerned by the lack of informed consent about the experimental nature of the jabs. With a master's degree in philosophy alongside my medical training, I have always sought to enhance quality of life while respecting personal autonomy. When the most basic of human values got threatened, I stepped away from the "sick care" system.

What I found was a completely different understanding of health — one that honours the spirit, recognises the sacred in healing, and sees the whole person rather than a collection of symptoms and medications.

With my husband I have lived in Brazil since the beginning of 2021, where I quickly learned Portuguese fluently. We immersed ourselves in ancient healing traditions. We sat in Santo Daime ceremonies, learned from Indigenous people in the Amazon, participated in Afro-Brazilian Umbanda rituals. We didn't go as tourists or researchers — we participated. This ignited a deep study into plant medicine and the rich spiritual traditions of modern-day ayahuasca practices in Brazil.

This isn't something I sell. It's something I live. And it profoundly shapes how I practise medicine today — with deep listening, respect for the body's wisdom, understanding that healing happens on multiple dimensions, and a commitment to doing no harm.
