In 2013, Martine graduated as an Ayurveda practitioner, marking a new chapter after a successful corporate career. Alongside offering workshops, she founded her own practice, Food for Change, where she has supported many clients on their journey toward better health and balance.
As a teacher, Martine is passionate about making Ayurveda more accessible and familiar in the Netherlands, sharing it as a powerful and practical system for healing and well-being. With many years of hands-on experience as a practitioner, she brings depth and authenticity to her teaching. Her approach is clear, down-to-earth, and often infused with a touch of humour, making complex concepts easy to understand and apply.
In 2012, she authored The ABC of Healthy Eating (Het ABC van Gezond Eten), a concise guide to the principles of Ayurvedic nutrition. She loves traveling to India to stay connected to the roots of Ayurveda, and at home she shares her passion for cooking with her three adult children — who have happily inherited her love for good food.Currently, she is not actively involved in her practice or in teaching.
