Want to regain control over your health and your life?

I can help you! I’ll hand you the tools to break vicious cycles. To do this, I combine modern, scientifically based knowledge with ancient healing and spiritual knowledge. This enables me to help where ‘regular’ methods failed. The reason behind this? I won’t be restricted by social conventions, but will use what a situation requires.

My name is Emma and I’m a hagetisse.

That’s an old-fashioned word for wise woman, healer, cunning woman, leech, the herbwife at the edge of the village. Hagetisse is an old word that was corrupted – under the influence of the church – into the word heks, which is Dutch for witch. This word carries plenty of prejudice that has nothing to do with what being a hagetisse is really about.

My most important task is to guide people who want to get back onto their own path. Who want to take responsibility for their life. I help them see the stories, taught through upbringing and cultural frameworks, for what they are, recognise the voice of their own intuition and find the strength to follow it, on their way to health and happiness.

On this site you can find more about what I do. And I share a lot of knowledge, for instance by means of wise woman blogs, but also through a vademecum in which I have written down my knowledge about medical, magical and edible plants.
