About Me
Get to know me..
Hi, I'm Anne, Born in 1976 in the south of the Netherlands, I am an explorer of life with my deepest value being Freedom, that's what brought me to live in Portugal with my husband and two daughters.
I am someone who loves to create. Whether that's growing flowers and vegetables in my garden, harvesting fruits and making them into jam, creating my own clothes, or crafting healthy and nourishing food from scratch.
Nature is where I find my deepest peace. I love to be near rivers and lakes. To walk barefoot, connect to plants and trees. Trees especially help me ground and connect. Another way to connect with the spirit of a plant is to hold a plant dieta.
I love a cup of black coffee and looking at the rising sun in the morning. Moving my body through yoga, long walks, or losing myself in the joy of Five Rhythms and intuitive dance. I love to drum alone and together.
I am a singer, and I listen deeply to the songs of oneness and the universe, songs that flow through me. I work with the energy of creation.
I believe in learning through felt experience, an embodied knowing that connects us to our body and the soul. To stay connected with the body in the flow of life, I live by practising Tao and Tantra. My background includes training in the wheel of Consent ,training and working as an opera singer, voice liberation coach,
Looking forward to explore, create, sing, dance, connect.......

My story in Pictures
My Professional Background
I have been singing as long as I can remember. Later, I played the cello and then chose to become a classical singer, opera singer, and teacher.
I studied at the Conservatorium of Maastricht with Werner van Mechelen. During my studies in Maastricht I sang in the choir for the production "La Vie est Belle" for André Rieu. I then went to the Conservatorium of Amsterdam to study with Margreet Honig. Later I trained privately with Anthya Moller in Australia, where I sang with the Sydney Philharmonia choirs Back in the Netherlands, I worked as a choir member at the National Reisopera.
After becoming a mother, I worked more as a soloist, singing professionally with amateur choirs and orchestras. I discovered voice liberation and a new chapter began, one with a more embodied way of singing. I trained in “Stembevrijding”, which is Voice Liberation, and have since been working as a coach, teaching and inviting the natural flow of the voice to emerge.
Through practice in nervous system regulation, Tao, Tantra, and meditation, I deepened my felt experience in the body. I completed training in the Wheel of Consent with Betty Martin, learning to listen to the body's yes and no from a somatic perspective.
Now I work as a voice liberation coach and teacher, individually and with groups, playing harmonium, n'goni, ukulele, and shamanic drum. I help others connect to their authentic voice, integrating the Wheel of Consent so that people can listen deeply to their body's yes and no. I also channel songs, allowing the music of the universe to flow through me. This is my work now, helping others find their voice.
