Danielle de Wildt is the head of Essentrics EU and an Essentrics Master Trainer.
Danielle discovered Essentrics during a retreat with Miranda Esmonde-White in Mexico in 2007. She immediately fell in love with the program for the effective and gentle way it relieved her shoulder and knee pain, improved her posture and helped her regain her strength. Danielle pursued training with Miranda and Sahra Esmonde-White in Montreal and became the first Essentrics instructor in Europe.
Danielle began teaching Essentrics classes in her native Netherlands, where Essentrics quickly gained popularity, and we currently have a thriving teacher community. She loves sharing the technique’s benefits that have been life changing for her with people from all fitness levels and age groups.
Post Bezau’s Invited Speakers
Viszeral Surgeon: Dr. Mira Fink
Dr. Mira Fink is a general surgeon at a viszeral surgeon at a University Hospital in Germany, focusing on gut health and weight loss. Within the realm of aesthetic medicine, she specializes in vitamin therapy, PRP therapy and mesotherapy.
At this year’s Essentrics Retreat, she will be hosting a special masterclass on hormones and healthy aging, along with offering exclusive medical spa treatments.
In the realm of healthy aging, hormones play a crucial role. Particularly for women experiencing menopause, the topic of hormone replacement therapy is widely discussed. A decline in the levels of specific hormones vital for metabolism, including estrogen, testosterone, melatonin, and growth hormones, is considered a natural aspect of the aging process.
At this masterclass, we will explore the various hormones involved in a healthy aging process and discuss methods for testing and treating deficiencies. We will delve into current research findings and expert opinions in this field.
Dr Fink will be present all week and various appointments with her can be booked at the Spa.
Lymphologist: Sicco Schwenzfeger
Sicco is a therapist with a special background in lymphatic drainage, hailing from Germany. He began his career in 1994 as a lymphatic specialist and also became a medical and court expert witness in the same year. In 2008, he became involved with a cancer clinic, and since 2016, Sicco has collaborated with the Post Bezau Team to create a special Body Shape Program, which continues to this day. At this retreat, he will host a masterclass about the lymphatic system and offer a special Lymphatic drainage treatment – appointments can be booked at the Spa.
