From my early days as a dedicated triathlete, personal trainer, and all-round group fitness instructor, to the creation of unique fitness concepts in both the Netherlands and Thailand, I have always been deeply passionated about wellness and the connection between body, mind, soul, and environment.
Sharing this passion abroad has been a life-changing experience, enriched by the diverse perspectives on the world around us.
My insatiable curiosity about the inner and outer worlds drives me to keep learning, evolving, and sharing my knowledge with those around me. My journey into yoga began in India, where I delved into Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Yin meridian yoga, completing over 500 hours of training. Today, I am expanding my expertise in the fields of trauma and the nervous system.
Since 2011, I have had the privilege of being part of a team that organises juice fasting retreats in Portugal, Turkey, and Spain. Each week, we witness and support remarkable physical and mental transformations.
I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to continue this journey, to learn, grow, and help others achieve profound wellness.

I had the privilege of receiving 3 classes a day from Ilona during my juice retreat in Portugal. She has the right energy, humor, seriousness, sensitivity and expertise for each type of physical activity practiced. She is a complete all-rounder! In my journey to overcome my burnout, she was extremely important in reminding me that without connecting with myself and nature, my process would take even longer. Thank you very much Ilona ❤️
