My name is Aletta Karsies van Eeden. I have two grown daughters, and like all moms I faced the challenge to help them to grow up healthy in a world that is offering so many easy, unhealthy options. One of my daughters suffered from reflux from just 6 months old and I was worried after several years with incessant need to increase her prescription medication. Finally I was relieved to discover a natural remedy that helped heal her. When my other daughter was suffering from strong atopic dermatitis I used natural remedies and a change in diet so we could avoid using cortison cream.
In changing our diet, I also noticed clear health improvements for myself. I had less colds in winter, lost weight and noticed that I had much more energy. I am originally from the Netherlands and came to Basel in 1996 to pursue a PhD in Biology. However, after starting a family and traveling our ‘road to health’, I decided to change my career as I would like to help others on this road too.
After comparing several options, I chose to start my training with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2010, where I was trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods. I deepened my knowledge of Human Physiology and Functional Nutrition with the ‘Full Body Systems’ program from the Functional Nutrition Alliance, and have continued to educate myself a.o. with courses in Herbology and Biochemistry.
If you have low energy or are dealing with chronic health issues, medication can often offer only symptom relief. Everybody is unique, and drawing on my knowledge I can guide you in making changes in your nutrition and lifestyle that support your healing journey. I speak fluent English, German and Dutch, and can offer my coaching services in each of these languages
