Riim Lagerwerf, Holistic Health Educator and Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist
I am so honoured that you are interested in Ayurvedic education and above all your personal development! My own journey on the path of holistic health has been my inspiration to study yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic medicine. Due to an autoimmune disease and fertility issues, I was determined to really find ways to address the root cause of my problem. I studied at the California College of Ayurveda and was trained by Dr. Marc Halpern and his team of teachers. Besides Dr. Marc Halpern, I regularly follow further training with Dr. David Frawley, De Rajus (Ayurvedic doctors) and I love delving into the ancient texts and modern books. Vaidya Mishra is also my inspiration and the work of Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum who studied with Vaidya Mishra.
I work as a certified Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapist. My background as Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Yoga therapist provides valuable knowledge not only for myself but also my students. For over a decade I have been providing individual guidance through health counseling, meditation and yoga. In the Netherlands, The Hague, I work in my private practice and help women with autoimmune diseases and chronic conditions. I have felt a calling for some time now to share the knowledge of Ayurveda, in addition to guiding people one on one. Teaching has been my passion for many years and the time has come for me to offer Ayurvedic education in Europe to aspiring students and ultimately Ayurvedic healers who want to contribute to elevating human consciousness. In my offering I integrate Vedic Sciences such as Yoga and Vedic Astrology, but also a no touch healing modality called Pranic Healing, to holistically support your personal journey and that of your future clients.
