Hi, I am Antje

My name is Antje Hepkema and I was born in the Netherlands and currently living in Paris.

I have been practicing yoga for more than 10 years, which allowed me to learn how to manage my stress.

Yoga taught me to listen to my body and that's why I decided to follow a training course to become a yoga teacher.

​

During this training, several modules on Ayurveda were taught and this allowed me to learn more about the importance of nutrition and healthy living. I gave a few yoga classes a week in the Netherlands before moving to France. 

​

I worked over 10 years as a Business Analyst on IT projects, which allowed me to acquire the skills for observing, listening and analysing. I realised that these skills could also be used in a different way. So I decided to sign up for an Ayurveda Course to use my competences in combination with my passion for cooking, yoga and natural healing. Through this course I was certified as an Ayurvedic practitioner in 2019.

​

In line with my passion for food and nutrition as a medicine, I am currently studying Orthomolecular Nutrition.

​

Ayurveda helped me to relieve my osteoarthritis pain

Just after my certification I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hip and lower back. I sometimes had days where I was limping and some days I suffered from pain preventing me to sleep

This motivated me to study the disease and to find all possible natural solutions advised in Ayurveda and other scientific studies. I started to apply the suggested solutions one by one.…..6 months after the diagnosis I started running again and the pain was gone. After this experience it has become my mission to support my clients  suffering from Osteoarthritis to improve their quality of life.

​

The programs that I propose are all tailor-made to my clients nature and could also adapted to their daily rhythm of life so that the changes do not become a constraint. 

​

I offer online group sessions in English and (online) individual sessions in English, French and Dutch.

​

What can I do for you?

I offer 4 weeks to 3 months individual and group programmes depending on your needs.

​

I will coach you during the program to guide you through the changes to implement. How? Please read the different program pages or I am happy to explain you all during a 30 minutes (online) discovery session.
