Mountains are MAGICAL to me.

I've always loved being outdoors. I truly thrive on a walk in nature. Preferably with my family and dogs, but I also enjoy the changing seasons on my own. That's why I'm so glad I live so close to the woods.

A few years ago, I discovered that I love being in the mountains even more than just being in nature. It's as if the mountains are saying, "I'm here for you, and you can climb on top of me or sit at my feet and look up. Do whatever feels right for you." The mountains give me joy and comfort at the same time. I can more easily let my emotions flow freely there. It's hard to explain why. The mountains are magical to me.

That's why I'm so proud that I designed this beautiful SOUL collection together with Riverstones.

“ Walk your own path .”

A mountain gives you CONFIDENCE in yourself.

Hiking through mountains is my favorite thing to do. At first glance, such a mountain seems overwhelmingly high, but if you take your time and keep putting one foot in front of the other, you can get so far. You start hiking and see where you end up. When you reach the top and enjoy a breathtaking view, it's as if the mountain is saying to you:

“See, you could do it, you're welcome!”

The mountains make me feel strong and confident. I want to share that feeling. With my partner, my daughter, friends and family. But also with complete strangers through the hut-to-hut hikes I help organize. It's truly special how you get to know each other in just a few days, enjoying each other's company and helping each other navigate the mountains. The jewelry in the Riverstones collection is a beautiful reminder of the feeling of strength and comfort the mountains give me time and time again.
