“Weruschca is someone you would welcome into your home and personal life without hesitation. She is warm and attentive, but equally understands the value of discretion and knows exactly when to be present and when to step back.”

ABOUT ME
My career has never fitted neatly into a single field. Care, health, nutrition, design, culture and the environments we live in have all played a part at different stages. At first glance, perhaps very different worlds, but looking back, I see above all how closely connected they are.
For more than fifteen years, I worked in the world of interiors and design, historic building materials and restoration, art and antiques. Later, I ran a classic French brasserie with live jazz in Amsterdam. These were worlds in which beauty, craftsmanship, food, hospitality and, above all, people continually came together.
My combined interest in aesthetics, health and our living environment subsequently led me to regenerative agriculture, ecological design and ecosystem restoration. I have now worked in this field for around fifteen years as an independent ecological designer and, since 2019, as Co-Founder of United Designers International. My work has once again taken me across borders, from private estates to much larger landscapes and complex ecological challenges.
My own life, too, has unfolded across different countries and cultures. I was born in Denmark and have lived and worked in Denmark, France, Spain and the Middle East, among other places. I am fluent in Dutch, Danish, English, French and Spanish.
All these different worlds have, above all, deepened my love of people. Their stories and identities, their cultures and traditions, and the extraordinary diversity in how we live, eat and make our homes. They have given me a natural ease across cultures, but above all taught me to observe and listen carefully before assuming I know what matters to someone.
Care and health, meanwhile, have always remained woven through my life. My interest in nutrition, the human body and what keeps us healthy has been a constant thread for many years. As a certified general caregiver with medical foundation studies, that interest now also has a formal foundation in professional care.
“Weruschca always has something to talk about. From food and travel to art, architecture and culture. She moves naturally between different people and settings, and can make something as simple as shopping together just as enjoyable as an evening out.”

“What makes Weruschca different is the breadth of her perspective. She looks not only at what someone needs at that particular moment, but also at nutrition, daily habits, their environment and the small things that can make a real difference. Always practical and never imposing.”

Misschien is het juist die combinatie van ervaringen die ik nu zo waardevol vind. Mijn achtergrond in interieur en materialen leerde mij kijken naar de omgeving waarin mensen leven. Kunst en antiek leerden mij over geschiedenis, identiteit en de betekenis die we aan dingen geven. Hospitality leerde mij over eten, gastvrijheid en mensen ontvangen. Mijn internationale leven leerde mij mij gemakkelijk tussen verschillende culturen en leefwerelden te bewegen. En het ontwerpen van ecosystemen leerde mij kijken naar samenhang en het grotere geheel.
In de persoonlijke zorg komt veel daarvan heel natuurlijk samen. Goede zorg vraagt kennis en praktische vaardigheid, maar ook belangstelling voor de persoon achter de zorgvraag. Wie is iemand? Wat heeft hem of haar gevormd? Waar wordt iemand blij van? Wat wil iemand vooral zélf blijven doen? Het zijn vaak juist die dingen die bepalen of iemand zich werkelijk gezien en op zijn gemak voelt.
Na vele jaren internationaal werken en reizen is ook de wens gegroeid om mijn kennis en ervaring dichter bij de mens zelf in te zetten. Persoonlijker, met tijd en aandacht, zonder mijn andere werk achter mij te laten.
MŪLA Private Health is dan ook geen nieuwe richting, maar het samenkomen van veel van wat er altijd al was: zorg, gezondheid, voeding, gastvrijheid, cultuur, leefomgeving en bovenal mijn liefde voor mensen en hun verhaal.
