About me

BIO

My first journey and my biggest dream began in the world of elite sports.

For years I stood behind the blocks at major international championships and won multiple European and world titles.

At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, our 4x100m freestyle relay finished just off the podium, in fourth place.

At 26, I combined the intensity of elite sport with motherhood.
Nine months after my son was born, I was back in top shape, standing on the starting block again and reclaiming my spot on the relay team.

At the end of 2020, I consciously closed the chapter of my professional swimming career. Today, I use that experience as a performance nutrition coach.

I help women build optimal health so they can live and perform at their highest level in sport, work, and daily life. You might already feel good, but my mission is simple: to help you feel even better.

I can help you if…

  • you train hard, eat well, but your body isn’t responding the way you want
  • you’re done with noise, restriction and “more discipline” and want to understand what your body truly needs
  • you want a coach who thinks like an elite athlete, but guides you in a way that fits your life
  • you want more energy, better recovery and stable performance without the overwhelm

Succes stories

I always found it really difficult to eat in a balanced way. I was basically under‑eating all the time, which meant I would reach for snacks in the evening. I was really missing the structure to eat well.

I’ve worked with a dietitian before, but I never got the tools I was actually looking for.

The coaching has mainly given me clarity about what and how much you need in a day. It brought so much more structure and also more variety into my eating. And it taught me that things don’t have to be perfect — because that’s simply not realistic.

And the sessions are very open and enjoyable; sometimes we even talk about completely different things!

Kim – triatleet

I had an amazing coaching journey. As a professional cyclist, it’s incredibly valuable to feel understood by an athlete like Maud. We worked on clear and inspiring action points that truly helped me move forward.

Maaike – prof cyclist

Always sharp, knowledgeable, and full of valuable advice. Staying in touch with Maud keeps us in top physical and mental condition to perform at the highest level every single day. No doctor was able to help me with my headaches, but one simple nutrition tip — and they’re almost a thing of the past

Thys – CEO

Maud helped me feel truly energised again, with a clear and focused mind. Her expertise shines through in everything she does and she explains things in a way that immediately clicks.

With targeted nutrition adjustments, my energy dips are gone, my sleep quality has improved significantly, and I’m able to maintain focus and vitality throughout the entire day

Ramon – bondscoach diving

I wanted to develop a routine that truly matched my training schedule so I could perform at my best. And I wanted more insight into nutrition so I could put together proper meals.

I noticed a real difference in my training, I can deliver more energy. Especially during strength sessions, the improvement was huge. I also had far fewer ‘energy dips’; my energy levels stayed balanced throughout the entire day.

You really get guidance that aligns with your goals and your lifestyle. I noticed changes in my energy very quickly, and I gained so much more knowledge about nutrition.

Sterre – swimming

Before I started working with you, I struggled with low energy levels, poor recovery and inconsistent nutrition. I wasn’t always fueling my body properly, especially around training, and it affected both my performance and how I felt.

Your coaching made me realise how important proper nutrition is for performance and recovery. I feel more energised, my recovery has improved, and my training sessions feel stronger and more consistent. Mentally, I also feel more confident and in control because I now understand so much better what my body needs.

I’d say that nutrition plays a huge role in how you feel and perform and working with you really proves that. You’re not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also very supportive and kind. You create a calm and comfortable environment, and communicating with you is very easy. 

Yoana – mountain biker

If only I had known then what I know now…

As a young athlete, I thought health was mostly about training, eating, and discipline. I had no idea that everything I felt the dips, the slow recovery, the unexplained fatigue  started at the cellular level.

I didn’t know my cells were struggling to produce energy efficiently. I didn’t know that stress, sleep, nutrient timing and hormones directly influence how well your mitochondria function. I didn’t know that your performance collapses the moment your cells burn out, no matter how hard you train.

And that’s exactly why I work the way I do now. Because I want women to understand what I only discovered much later: that real energy, recovery and hormonal balance begin from the inside out in the cells that power your entire system.

When you understand that, everything changes. You feel more stable, stronger and clearer. Your body finally starts working with you instead of against you.
