I was raised in a small town in Holland by my Indonesian/Indian father and Dutch mother. From a young age, I was exposed to intuition and mediumship through my grandmother, giving me an early awareness of the different ways we experience connection.
At 16, I moved to Miami to pursue modeling and soon found myself traveling and working internationally. My career gave me the opportunity to work with renowned photographers and creators including Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel and Fabrizio Gianni, alongside legendary icons like Ayrton Senna, and on campaigns and projects for brands including Guess, Victoria’s Secret and Corneliani.
What began in Miami eventually took me to Los Angeles, where I lived for many years while continuing my modeling career and building a life. During those years, I also became a mother—one of the most meaningful and transformative roles of my life. Motherhood deepened the way I experience love, connection and responsibility, and has shaped who I am in ways that extend into every part of my life and work. Modeling continued to introduce me to extraordinary people, places and cultures, while life beyond the camera was changing and expanding me in ways I could never have anticipated.
Alongside that career, another part of my life was quietly developing. I found myself naturally drawn to people and animals who were going through difficult periods, and intuition increasingly became part of those connections. Reiki eventually came into my life, and I became a Reiki Master while continuing to develop my intuitive and mediumship work, along with training in CBT-based techniques.
Over time, these different parts of my life came together organically. Today, I work as an intuitive coach and guide, with conversation and intuitive guidance at the heart of what I do. I see myself as a vessel for the information that comes through. My background as a Reiki Master has also deepened my awareness of energy and the intuitive way I connect with others. My work has naturally expanded to include animals, mediumship and meaningful life transitions and ceremonies.
Modeling continues to be an important part of my life and career. I’m grateful to still be working in an industry I entered as a teenager and to experience it now through a different stage of life, bringing with me all of the years and experiences in between.
Today, I find myself back in Miami, where my modeling journey first began more than three decades ago—a full-circle moment I never could have planned.
Although modeling and intuitive work may appear to be very different worlds, for me there has always been a common thread: connection, intuition and truly seeing the person in front of me.
