My name is Esther. I am an artist, poet, mother, holistic health practioner and survivor of complex PTSD. I live in Amsterdam with my son, and for the past 21 years, I’ve worked independently as an artist, weaving emotion, healing, and soul into my creations.
I often say I’ve lived many lives within this one. Each chapter has shaped me, broken me open, and brought me deeper into who I truly am.
I raise my highly sensitive son largely through intuition, not from books or rules, but from deep listening, inner knowing, and a trust in the unseen.
We live with one foot in this world, and the other in the world beyond the subtle, spiritual realm that many feel but few dare to name. That space guides us. It grounds us. It reminds us that healing is not linear, that sensitivity is not weakness, and that art can be a sacred form of remembrance.
I created The Woman with the Kite as a place to share my journey, through trauma, through healing, through motherhood, through soul.
Here, I share my art, my poetry, my truths, and the wind that carries me.
Maybe you’ll recognize something of yourself here.
Maybe you, too, are walking between worlds.
Review:
Animal Power by Alyson Charles is a fascinating book for anyone interested in dreams, symbolism, and the wisdom of animals.
I have been dreaming vividly my whole life, and this book helped me understand the meanings of the different animals that appear in my dreams.
It’s inspiring, easy to read, and opens a new level of insight into the messages our dreams bring.
