You want to feel better. But you feel stuck.
Here is what you've been told to do when trying to heal from your concussion:
❌ Don’t make this concussion the main thing in your life, don’t focus on it all the time.
❌ Talk to a psychologist that will help. And don't stay at home all the time, that's not helpful for your mood.
❌ Go home and rest as much as possible. You will be better in a few weeks.
❌ You have to start focusing on acceptance, accept that this is it and see what you CAN do.
❌ We are all getting older, try not to make that a big deal.
❌ Just listen to your doctor. But he doesn't believe you, you're getting misdiagnosed, sending you home to rest, or he prescribes some medicines that do more harm than good.
❌ Do you have anxiety? Do some yoga and it's gone!
You're not alone.
"I was constantly torn between "I can't let this concussion ruin my life" and "I have to listen to my body and rest"
Watch this 2-minute video to see how I transformed from feeling completely "lost" to now helping others reduce their symptoms too.
Who
I sustained a concussion in 2017 and am now 90% recovered. Since then, I have taught over 2,000 concussion survivors how to regain motivation in their recovery and reduce symptoms, regardless of where they are in their journey.
I created the Concussion Boost Program and run The Concussion Community, the largest private online community for people with concussions.
I am the host of my own podcast, The Concussion Community's podcast (over 130 episodes), which has been listened to over 35,000 times. It’s a mix of tips and personal stories.
I am Dutch but live abroad. At the moment, I’m in Bali. Before this, I lived in Amsterdam.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long did it take for you to start feeling better?
In the first two years after the accident, I tried so many things to get better. However, I felt hardly any progress (around 10%). I was very sad and completely lost. Then, in 2019, I went to a concussion clinic where I learned about two researched methods that had already helped so many concussion survivors. Because I want more people to know about these methods (since 75% of people notice improvement), I have created a free masterclass. You can sign up for it here for free.
How did you deal with the emotional side?
Listening to podcasts and books about mindset, therapy, and support from others, and keeping a diary (writing helped so much). Curious about what I wrote? In this 6-minute podcast, I share a vulnerable page from my diary about 1.5 years after the accident. Click here.
What has actually helped you the most in your recovery?
Because I get this question so often, I’ve written a free ebook for everyone, where I mention the 7 things that helped me the most. You can download it for free: Click here.
How do you describe to others what a concussion feels like?
It can sometimes be impossible to describe what it feels like to deal with concussion symptoms. Still, I’ve tried to explain it in this 7-minute podcast: Click here. Do you recognize yourself in it?
Are you fully recovered now?
Right now, I feel I am about 90% recovered. The symptom I still have is that I feel overstimulated more quickly than before, and sometimes screen time still bothers me. I am hopeful that I will reach 100% recovery since I am still making progress.
