After a traumatic period in my life I searched for and found my authenticity. I discovered I had inherited the gift of the shaman from my grandfather. In my book I describe how I learned to embody my own holistic and down-to-earth interpretation of being a modern shaman.
My life's path brought me to the timeless wisdom of mystics, shamans, Indigenous people and Eastern philosophies. I have studied various disciplines, methods and techniques in psychology, bio-energetics, psychodrama and alternative healing methods. With a sense of respect and unity I include elements of all of these in my work.
I have lived and worked in the Netherlands and Germany, Canada and the USA. In Vancouver I had a weekly radio program, Marx on Awareness, in which I interviewed shamanic and metaphysical teachers including Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth.
In the past I gained experience in organization and management with international companies and institutions. I left the corporate world when I realized that with the combination of my acquired knowledge, experience of life, and as a modern shaman, I can help people to overcome problems and live their lives freely as their true self, in connection with the universal energy. It resulted in a global practice of more than 30 years.
