Teaching again!
I did a trial class today at another branch of Achmea in Apeldoorn……..team taught balance with the GFM, and I’m happy to say that they have offered me two permanent classes! It felt so good to be on stage again, and even though I was team teaching I had to know the chorrey extra well, [...]
Adelaide vs Apeldoorn
I’ve been wanting to write about this for some time. Living in a foreign country obviously many things are different and it takes quite a bit to get used to some things. But, rather than write about the things I’ve noticed between Australia and The Netherlands, I think it’s more accurate to talk about specifically [...]
Dutch course
It’s been about three weeks now since I started my Dutch course, and I have to say it has been a HUGE help. I was very very nervous about starting the course, particularly because they teach ONLY in Dutch. I thought……”how can I learn Dutch if I can’t understand what they’re teaching?”

After a few appointments my back is much straighter and I’m feeling better than I have in AGES! I hardly get any pain now and I’ve started doing classses again so this is huge.

Due to my back problems I missed the first day of my Dutch language course, but I attended tonight and I haven’t really missed to much thankfully.
The course is completely and solely in Dutch, although the teacher is very good at explaining things simply and using visuals to help understand. Although I cannot understand all [...]Eventful day
Well I DID manage to get in with a chiropractor, which was a HUGE relief. I’m still in a lot of pain since the chiro could only partially adjust my spine……and it will take a little time to get back into the right position again. He seems to think that it has been triggered by stress [...]
Back relapse
Things have are suddenly not so good for my back. Yesterday, while it appeared I did almost nothing at all, a simple little turn while walking away from the table has rendered me almost unable to stand. I can’t stand up straight and I’ve been in agony for 24 hours now.
At first I thought I had triggered [...]New Years Eve
We ended up having a wonderful New Years Eve. The original plan was to have a quiet night at home, since partying isn’t really possible with a baby. But we got messages from a couple of friends asking what we were doing. They weren’t sure what they were doing, so we responded “come round to [...]
