Over Rukaiya
Hello, my name is Rukaiya (or Ru) and I receive great satisfaction and joy in supporting all kinds of people live healthy, vibrant lives.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Arts Therapy (music, art, play/interactive therapy), and have many years of experience supporting people in healing and managing their illnesses and disabilities (both physical and mental). I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia when I was 14 years old, and through much determination, research and self-education, as well as support from open-minded professionals, I now live a healthy life, always seeking to improve and heal further. While I have thorough experience in caregiving, my strengths are in coaching and providing education in yogic and diet-based ways of restoring balance to the body and mind. Through my own personal experience, it has become clear to me that food (not just what we eat, but also how we prepare it and our intention put into the cooking and the sourcing of our food) and most importantly, our connection to nature, is entirely related to our own physical and mental/emotional health. I also see this direct connection in my father's journey with Parkinson's Disease.
This is why I feel called to offer my services and experience to those of you who desire to eat healing food, or those who desire to have as a caregiver someone who sees all of these things (a relationship with Nature, coaching/caregiving, yogic philosophies, and healing music and food) as influencing each other.
I see myself as a breath of fresh air coming to support you in your journey by bringing my deep presence and care, my first-hand knowledge of learning from illness, and my hope for you to feel safe and relaxed in your life.
I do speak and understand basic Dutch, and a little Spanish, and I am happy to keep learning more.
I am available to answer any questions you may have.
Warmly,
Rukaiya
