Edith’s background
Born and raised in the Leuven region, Edith now calls Brussels home. She joined Waves because she immediately felt a strong connection with our philosophy and values. The client-centred approach, focus on empowerment and holistic care, and the importance we place on seeing each person as an individual closely align with the way she works. Edith graduated in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences in 2019, specialising in neurological disorders. She later furthered her expertise with a postgraduate degree in Relaxation Therapy and is also a certified Polestar Mat Pilates instructor. Edith’s clinical focus includes active rehabilitation for individuals with neurological and chronic pain conditions, managing heightened sensitivity for stimuli following brain injury or other neurological conditions, and addressing chronic hyperventilation, anxiety, and sleep-related challenges. At Waves, she teaches Essentials Mat classes for people with a clinical background, using Pilates as part of her rehabilitation approach.
Why she does what she does
Fascinated by the complexity of the nervous system, Edith is particularly interested in the connection between neurological, psychological and somatic well-being. She creates personalised treatment plans with achievable goals, guiding each client through step-by-step progress towards improved health. Her approach is warm and supportive, helping people reconnect with their bodies, build confidence and feel more empowered in their recovery.
Fun facts about Edith
Edith is at her best outside in nature, where she loves to run, hike and discover. Especially in the mountains she feels most grounded. As a former dancer, she has always felt a strong connection to Pilates and yoga. But since joining Waves, she has also discovered how strength training does her body a world of good. Music is another big part of her life: she loves the energy or intimacy of concerts and festivals and is always on the lookout for unique artists. And, naturally, her love of food means she is always happy to explore and savour something delicious.
