I was born in Curaçao and pursued my medical studies in Costa Rica. My training followed the ‘old style’, offering comprehensive clinical experience. I earned my degree in medicine and surgery there. In 2015, I began practising as a general practitioner in Curaçao.
Alongside my work as a general practitioner, I am actively involved in psychiatry and sports medicine. I am also the founder of Curaçao Telemedicine. Since 2021, I have been delivering digital healthcare services, including to individuals requiring medical assistance during their stay in Curaçao.
In my general practice, I frequently see women during the peri-menopause and menopause. They often present with a variety of symptoms and numerous questions. When necessary, I collaborate with gynaecologists to identify the most appropriate treatment.

Good care starts with clear explanation. It is important that a woman understands what is happening in her body and what she can expect from treatment.
There is a wealth of information available online about menopause. While this can be helpful, the sheer volume of information can also make it challenging to determine what is reliable and relevant to your personal situation.
For this reason, I view online care as a means to better guide women through this information. Digital care can provide faster and easier access to medical knowledge and support. However, a thorough medical assessment remains crucial. Online care cannot replace a physical examination when one is necessary.
In my role at SeeMe-nopause, I review medical content based on my expertise in medicine. I evaluate the content for medical accuracy and ensure it reflects the latest scientific insights.
When you understand what is happening in your body during menopause and are aware of the treatment options available, you are better equipped to engage in decisions about your health. A platform like SeeMe-nopause supports women in understanding what is happening during this stage of life and serves as a valuable complement to regular care.
Perimenopause and menopause can be a challenging time. Symptoms differ from woman to woman, and there is not always a single solution that resolves everything. However, there are various ways to alleviate symptoms and navigate this phase more comfortably.
For me, good support begins with education. First, it is important to understand what is happening, and then we can work together to explore which options best suit the woman’s symptoms and medical situation.
