About me

Home is Amsterdam where I live with my husband, son & have three grown-up step kids. I cherish living close to some of my best friends & family after decades working and living abroad. My travels and living abroad have always felt like a logical extension of an international upbringing; born in Iran, raised in Toronto, NYC, Curacao and The Netherlands.

I have always loved adventure and trying to understand other people/cultures. One of the best decicions of my life was, after a burn-out, to switch my professional career towards supporting people through change. My life is enriched by the deep connection, shared openness and  trust that my work requires. 

I am a committed year round in open water swimmer; either at home in the Nieuwe Meer and de Kager plassen or anywhere else in the wolrd! Over the years I have participated in many open water swim events a.o. the Bosporus swim. 

The pictures on this website depict some of my favorite swimming spots.
