Who am I:

My name is Bea Koet, and I live with my boyfriend Hans, my dog Arjuna, and two cats in the beautiful town of Katlijk (yes, really), in the province of Friesland. I have two beautiful adult children and absolutely love being outdoors, gardening, doing yoga and meditation, singing, and playing the piano.

I believe that self-love, patience, and compassion are the keys to a life where you can be who you truly are, without worrying about an ideal. I also believe in karma and dharma, which essentially means acting according to your conscience, but trusting the Universe for the outcome.

I support you in reconnecting with your values, your emotional world, and your body so that it takes no effort at all to do what is necessary with love to become and stay fit and healthy.

My story

I've discovered that you first have to be at peace with your body before you can even be open to advice. That you understand that your appearance says nothing about who you are. That your body is your vehicle, the vehicle you use to travel through life, not an ornament just for show, meant to be considered beautiful.

My search for the game changer for lipoedema has resulted in the creation of a program that teaches you to love your body again!

My own spiritual journey inspired me to offer more as a person than just conversation, so I completed a three-week intensive yoga teacher training program in Bali. The result is a comprehensive package that helps people with lipedema physically, mentally, and spiritually achieve a happier life.

In the more than 35 years that I have been working as a dietitian, I have combined my practice with my family life and running for a long time.

In 2015, I was asked to work at Nij Smellinghe Hospital in Drachten. This led me to join the ECL, where I was introduced to the phenomenon of lipoedema. I had never heard of it before, and I had many intense conversations with women with lipoedema, making it clear to me that this condition significantly impacts quality of life and is completely unknown among dietitians.

I have taken an oath to do everything I can to make the condition better known among dietitians so that your problem is better recognized and acknowledged.

I also completed the Master's program in Healthy Aging, focusing on lipoedema. This allowed me to connect with science and contribute to the development of the Lipoedema Consensus, which was published in 2023. This also gave me the opportunity to frequently present my method on stage.

I've noticed that shame, stigma, prejudice, and negative body image are a major part of the problem. As a fellow human being, I find this difficult to see, because it hinders you from truly living your life. That's why I started looking for ways to live in peace with myself. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Body Image Intensive courses have given me many tools to coach more effectively.

It's your time to thrive alongside the gamechanger and become the best version of yourself. Feel free to contact us for an introductory meeting.
