about

As mentioned on my home page, I love to focus in my work on the connection between women, water and wellbeing. I just adore the beauty, strength and versatility of both water and women and only want to support and underline their/our amazing qualities.

Water is said to be a feminine element and since everything is energy and water responds to both negative and positive vibrations, I believe we have the immense capacity of influencing our own wellbeing – and that of our surroundings!

Water connects us all and is the essence of all life, and its cyclical nature is something us women can strongly feel related to. The importance of our waters being pure, clean and flowing is key for healthy life and living all over this beautiful planet, and should be honored and protected, and in its infinity be available to all.
