“What Leonardus has primarily brought me is that I have started to look more at the person as a whole.”
In May 2024, I unexpectedly received a diagnosis of acute leukemia. Because I already had type 2 diabetes, my blood levels were monitored regularly. During one such check-up, abnormal values came to light, and further investigation followed. Shortly thereafter, I was immediately admitted to the hospital.
An impactful diagnosis and the step toward Leonardus
In hindsight, I had been somewhat more tired than usual, but otherwise, I did not expect that something so serious would be going on.
After my initial treatments in the hospital, a friend who visited Leon himself told me about the Leonardus Energetic Center. At that moment, I was open to anything that could support me during this difficult period.
My medical treatment lasted nearly two years. By now, the active treatments have been completed, and the process consists mainly of check-ups. That period has had an enormous impact on my body. I have been declared fully unfit for work and still notice the consequences of what I have been through on a daily basis.
Recovery of energy and the treatments
During my first visit to Leonardus, Youri and Leon took ample time to explain what they do and how they guide people. That inspired confidence. In the beginning, I came twice a week for treatment. Since March 2025, this has been gradually phased down to once a month.
What struck me most was that I was often very tired after a treatment. To me, it felt as if my body was finally given the space to find rest. As time passed, I noticed that my energy levels slowly began to increase.
Where I would have estimated my energy at nearly zero percent after the diagnosis, I now experience it at around 65 percent. Of course, I hope for further improvement, but I am primarily grateful for the progress I notice myself.
Actively working on recovery and a holistic view
In addition to the regular check-ups, I try to actively work on my recovery. I exercise regularly at the gym, swim, and do light strength training to maintain my muscles as well as possible. This looks different than it does for healthy athletes, but it helps me to stay active. At the same time, I notice that my immune system remains vulnerable. When I catch a cold or a virus, for example, I recover much more slowly than before.
What Leonardus has primarily brought me is that I have started to look more at the person as a whole. Previously, I was less concerned with that. Now, I am much more open to a holistic approach alongside regular care. That combination has done me a lot of good personally.
To people who are hesitant, I would like to say: start the conversation and experience it for yourself. Only when you come into contact with it yourself can you discover if it is something for you.
