I believe in the Power of Rhythm, Rest and REVOLUTION
THE HIGH-ACHIEVER WHO COULDN'T STOP
Hi, I'm Selina—founder of the Natural Rhythm Revolution.
For most of my life, I wore the "high achiever" label like a badge of honor. I chased performance, perfection, and productivity—even in the wellness world. On the outside, I was doing everything right: I completed my first yoga teacher training by 19, I got a Bachelor degree in vitality management, and a certification as a lifestyle coach. But inside, I was exhausted. Disconnected from my body. And still pushing myself past my limits.
It took a health scare at 30—and a total breakdown of the life I had built—for me to finally pause. To listen. To ask why I kept operating like rest was something I had to earn.
That moment changed everything.
I sold my house and quit my high-pressure job as a health center manager, which I thought was the problem. I completed my third yoga teacher training and disappeared into the woods of Montana to study Budokon—a fusion of yoga, martial arts, and animal crawling movements.When I came back home to the Netherlands, I had told myself that things would change when I could work for myself, but they didn't…
The same patterns appeared, even when I had no one to answer to.
But this time I saw what I was doing so I went back to the drawing board to do what I knew best: movement, curiosity, and reconnecting with myself. I rebuilt my relationship to rest and work. And slowly, I started creating a way of living that blended ambition with ease—productivity with presence.
That journey became the foundation for what I now teach through my 1:1 mentorship and retreats:
The Natural Rhythm Revolution — a holistic approach to life, energy, and well-being that helps high-achieving women finally come home to themselves.
I mentor women who are tired of burning out in the name of success. Women who want structure, but also softness. Who want to build a life that feels as good as it looks—one that works with their bodies and rhythms, instead of constantly overriding them.
This isn’t about throwing away your drive. It’s about learning how to channel it without sacrificing yourself in the process.
Because the exhaustion you feel won't go away by pushing harder. That disconnection from your body and constant state of overwhelm doesn't disappear if you try to be even more productive.
That's what I would tell myself now after spending almost 20 years living in overdrive.
That might sound challenging when you're used to constantly achieving. You might fear that reconnecting with your body means putting your dreams on hold.
But I want you to know you don't have to choose between your drive and your desire to slow down.
In my coaching and retreats, I guide you to break old beliefs and generational patterns, reconnect with your body, and honor your natural rhythms. This approach might sound counterintuitive in a world that glorifies hustle culture, but it means you're actually going back to your innate wisdom, with both your ambition and wellbeing intact. The opposite of burnout, I think.
What I do challenge is the notion that success requires constant sacrifice. That you somehow have to exhaust yourself, ignore your body's signals, and push through physical depletion to achieve your dreams.
It's all been normalized...
...but I don't believe that this way of living leads to true fulfillment or sustainable success. Because if you've been running on empty for years, what kind of life are you actually building?
A life of constant struggle and fighting against your own nature.
I also don't need to be constantly productive, always "on," or perpetually busy to feel worthy. My power isn't in doing more, but in aligning with my natural rhythms.
Deep fulfillment comes from within.
And that definitely applies to you too. If you're BRAVE enough to slow down.
High-achieving women need to honor their cyclical nature.
I truly believe this. Because we've been conditioned to operate like machines in a linear world. We’ve been expected to live as though we’re “mini men”, while we as women have always been built different. It both amazes and enrages me to see how good we've become at ignoring our unique female bodies.
Even if you're incredibly ambitious and driven, your body still operates in cycles and rhythms. The expectations to perform consistently regardless of where you are in your cycle, the pressures from society, work, and even ourselves.
It's been deeply ingrained in us for generations. Pushing through, showing up consistently no matter what. It can be a strength, but we often burn out because of it.
So who's honoring your natural rhythm?
Within my 1:1 coaching and retreats, I help you reconnect with the wisdom of your body. Not just physically, but understanding how your cycle affects your energy, creativity, and productivity. So you can leverage these natural rhythms as a superpower and dare to create a revolution in how you approach your life and work.
Moving with your body instead of against it, without guilt or fear of falling behind.
“Not another wellness girl telling me what to do…”
If that’s what you’re thinking—I get it. I’ve been there too.
I spent 15 years as an overachiever chasing success, pushing through burnout, and thinking I could achieve my way to peace. Then I spent another 5 years unlearning all of that, rewriting my beliefs, reconnecting with my body, and learning how to pursue my future dreams without abandoning myself in the present.
That journey led me to create the Natural Rhythm Revolution method—a sustainable, embodied approach to well-being designed for women who are tired of burning out in the name of productivity.
I didn’t build this method from one moment of personal clarity. I built it from a foundation of over a decade of education, experience, and experimentation. I’m a certified lifestyle coach with a degree in vitality management and over a decade in the wellness space. But more than that, I’m someone who actually had to learn how to rest, regulate, and realign without uprooting her entire life.
So no, this isn’t another list of self-care tips or temporary fixes. This is a new way of being. A proven pathway I've developed where we gently break the beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck, and create real, sustainable transformation through small but powerful shifts that work with your feminine cycle, not against it.
If you're craving a life that works with your body instead of against it, breaking old beliefs and generational patterns that keep you in the stuck in the same loop, and want guidance from someone who’s walked that path too—I’d be honoured to walk beside you.

If you could ask me anything…
🪞When I was 12 I said I was going to live in Spain and marry a Spanish Man. Now I’m a 35 year old Dutch wellness girlie that moved back home after traveling the world and decided she would be happy in her own country, because she finally felt at home within herself. To then meet a Spanish man on the seat next to her on a holiday to Spain and move to Spain after 1,5 years of a long distance relationship. I now live in a beach town near Alicante, not married yet, but I have no doubt that ring is coming
🪞 I’m a living contradiction; I love to travel, but I’m also a major homebody in my day to day life, movement is part of who I am, but give me a book, movie or serie and you’ll find me under a blanket chilling on the couch all day. I believe in nourishing natural food, but I still can’t enjoy broccoli and you can wake me up for real Italian pizza and French fries anytime.
🪞 I love learning and when I read it’s usually non-fiction. But I’m trying to find more bedtime storybooks, so if you have any fav books let me know. My fav shows and movies are Grey’s Anatomy, Harry Potter and the Notebook and I’m currently binge watching The Good Doctor (with Spanish subtitles of course).
🪞For years I’ve felt ashamed about my sensitivity and softness and right now I’m in the season of truly embracing it as my superpower. Because I’ve realised maybe I’m here to show people that soft is not weak. That sensitive is powerful and that we can all use a bit more softness and slowness in this fast paced world to keep us feeling joy in the present moment instead of rushing to the next.
Hey, you're still here. If you haven’t clicked away even after pizza and corny movies, we can talk☺️!
