I am Martine Florus and my own path to self-love led me around the world. I lived in Hawaii, came to deep self-healing in India and Africa and met inspirational teachers in Belgium, Thailand and America. In between these adventures, I resided in Belgium, my homeland, and this is where I also currently live. I can roughly divide my life story into two parts: before and after Hawaii:

Before Hawaï

Since my childhood, I’ve been asking myself questions like "Who am I? Why is my life so difficult?".  I realised that I not only hurt myself but also hurt others. I was disappointed in myself. I immersed myself in sports in order to avoid dealing with my feelings but this only provided temporary relief as soon my problems became more prominent. A wise person then sent me to a sexuologist, but, although it wasn’t my “cup of tea”, it did lead me to the book “Tao of the Woman”. Every fiber in my body screamed denial and wanted to say "No thank you", except for a small, persistent voice that came from deep within myself ... I ended up with Katrien Laurens. "You have to connect with your body”, she told me, and that's when I started 4-Dimensional Life and Bodywork (now Life Projects) training. The whole training was an inner battle. I wanted to walk away, but that little voice inside me knew it was the right thing for me to do. So I persisted, became bodyworker, and then followed numerous other courses including Shiatsu, Avatar and Tao.
