Since January 2024, I have been a part of Martijn Stuiver's research team at the NKI. As a physiotherapist/ research assistant, I am involved in the LION-RCT study, which is a component of the larger PREFERABLE II project. This project aims to investigate the effectiveness of supervised live remote training for cancer survivors.
I have been committed to oncological care since 2007. For the past seven years, I have been working as a physiotherapist and lymphedema specialist at a specialized primary care practice. My role there involves supporting patients through all phases of their illness, including during and after treatments. Movement is essential to me; I believe in empowering individuals to enhance their quality of life, increase their participation, and boost their self-esteem through physical engagement. With a holistic approach, I aim to ignite awareness encompassing not only the physical but also the mental and emotional aspects.
