Hi, I’m Eske (Romée), founder of ROMEE for women, a health scientist (MSc) and certified therapist, specialised in Women’s Health.
Besides my academic and clinical experience, I’ve had my own battle with hormonal issues, so I understand how you feel.
Having treated women in my own practice and seeing how much lifestyle, in the broadest sense of the word, can help women alleviate and overcome hormonal symptoms, I'm even more eager to spread the word and help as many women as I can.
After seeing hundreds of women with hormonal complaints in the gynecology department, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I thought: the contraceptive pill and advice to lose weight cannot be the solution for everyone and everything. I noticed that many remained frustrated with questions about how lifestyle and underlying factors contribute to their complaints.
During my studies (MSc in Health Sciences: Nutrition at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), I became fascinated by how the human body works. I took a minor in neuroscience and eventually specialised in nutrition. Simultaneously, I worked for years in a medical clinic for gynecology and dermatology, where I assisted doctors, analyzed lab tests, and held my own consultation hours.
At the same time, I realized that health is more than just diet and exercise. To expand my knowledge, I started another four-year study and explored how psychology (thoughts, feelings, and emotions), nutrition, exercise, and the social environment influence health and disease.
