Meet the Team

She was the one who came up with PureandCure, many years ago. To ensure she doesn’t turn ‘antique’, she engages in kickboxing from time to time. She's straightforward and sincere, with a touch of impatience. What you see is what you get. Friday nights = pizza diavola ('extra chilli, please'). Thailand's Kamalaya is at the top of her bucket list, with Masqi – surrounded by Spanish nature – a close second. As a child, she wished to reside at the Efteling, but now she considers herself a citizen of the world. When an ABBA song starts playing, she transforms into a dancing queen. Her dream is to just have more wellbeing hotels, as it makes the world a better place. But most importantly, she's an innovator leading the way in wellness trends, always prioritizing quality and a good deal.

Best start to the day: coffee! Closely followed by a combination of oats, blueberries and soya yoghurt. A typical world-traveler, as she has been to more than 50 countries! A dedicated member of the team since 2012, she worked her way up to the position of Manager Operations. Among her favorite destinations is Sri Lanka, where she recently tested all our Ayurveda hotels. She is known for her perfectionism and attention to detail. She loves to knit (we adore our tailor-made scarves!) and her baking skills are exceptional (brownies: soft inside, crispy outside). And yes, we persuade her to participate in the Dutch version of The Great British Bake Off. But above all, she manages operations to ensure our guests can travel with peace of mind. 

Our Excel virtuoso, she has a remarkable ability to decipher even the most complex hotel contracts. This world citizen has spent half of her life outside of the Netherlands. At the Taipei British School in Taiwan, she even claimed victory in a colouring-in competition for the best bookmarker. She is great in playing games. Our Jordan tour had a profound impact on her, and closer to home, she loves Euphoria Retreat in Greece due to its ambiance and intimate setting. This multi-talented colleague is not only an appreciated colleague but also a friendly team member whom all Puurenkuur customers can confidently rely on. But above all, she makes sure that our product and marketing department runs smoothly and our guests know what to expect.

This Flemish lady is a genuine music enthusiast. Pop, rock or classical, she likes it all. She has an equal affection for the classic Flemish stew, chips and mayo. Regularly day dreams about Park Igls in Austria: where the food has completely blown her away. In her spare time, you'll find her engrossed in thrilling novels. An hour alone in the bathroom is her idea of heaven on earth. She's spontaneous [even for a Belgian], funny [even for a Belgian]… and yes, those her own words. Optimistic and smiley people brightens her day. But above all: she is our ambassador in Belgium, providing enthusiastic and passionate guidance about our health & wellbeing destinations to our Belgian customers.

A former tree surgeon. He loves trees! The older, the better. Being in nature rejuvenates him,  believing that nature destinations are the best places to visit. However, closer to home, he enjoys hiking along sections of the Pieterpad walking trail. Nowadays, his focus has shifted to computers. Has a special connection to China, thanks to his wife, Sissy. Is learning Chinese when he isn’t watching football. He's a devoted parent to his lovely twins, Evi & Sem and cherishes his three Bs: Beer, Bubbeltje, and Baobei (the cats). He is open to change, but can also be quite stubborn at times. But above all, he ensures that the PureandCure website, CMS, and operational systems run smoothly.

She's the undisputed daredevil of the team. She thrills in diving with manta rays and sharks, seeking the adrenaline rush. If these marine creatures are out of town, she’ll recharge with a refreshing mango bowl instead. Her favourite relaxation spot is the sauna, to unwind with friends. Given the chance, she loves to explore Mexico, a country she considers to 'have it all'. or Thailand as a good second best. Interesting twist: she reads horror books and has a phobia of cotton wool balls... But above all, she meticulously attends to details, striving for her holiday descriptions to instantly evoke the dream vacation images in people's minds. 

This caring young men enjoys taking care of the team by providing lunch and keeping everyone well-supplied with coffee, tea, and cookies throughout the day. Thankfully, he also looks out for his own well-being. When he's in a health-conscious mood, you'll find a salad on his plate or a green smoothie in his glass. But the moment when he forgets his healthy habits, he might suddenly find himself ordering a true Kapsalon with friends. His favorite PureandCure destination: Joali Being in the Maldives. He has dreamt his whole life of white sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue waters. Where you will find him outside office hours? Most probably on a theme party! But above all, he creates the most stunning web pages for our website.

Our lovely office dogs are our source of relaxation, especially the spectacle when little IO chases after Bobbie, trying to catch her tail. You might occasionally hear some barking in the background, but other than that, we adore them!
