Who am I? That must be about the hardest question you can ask yourself ...
There's so much I can say to answer this question and at the same time there's nothing sensible I can say. Hence, I'll keep myself to the 'facts'.

My name is Veerle Wauters. In February 1975 I saw the light of day in Leuven, I was the first of three children.

As a little child I knew I would perform a social profession. Long time I dreamed to be a surgeon. I wanted to travel around the world with "doctors without borders". At the age of 18 I knew I wanted to work with children with disabilities. Initially I thought of studying musictherapy, but ultimately I chose "orthopedagogiek" at the KULeuven.
I enjoyed the training, many new knowledge offered to us, but I missed the practical and socio-emotional aspect. The emphasis was on studying books and less on developing a good attitude, a right personal way of working.
At that age, I had many questions in my mind: Who am I, how am I to become who I am, what have I inherited from my parents, which friends had influence on my growing up, what possibilities I have in me ,...? So, I went to Willy Colebrants, psychotherapist in Mechelen. He gave me insights and frameworks within which I could find and thinkt and taught me that I was more than a thinking head. I had more contact with my feelings.
In 1998 I graduated as orthopedagoge and I started working as a conductor for children with visual impairments.
A few years later I started with the training Transpersonal Psychotherapy. This training opened a new world for me. I got in touch with my feelings, my intuition, my creativity and the silence and the joyful heart in myself. I discovered new possibilities and experienced I couldn't apply all these possibilities in my job as a conductor. In 2003 I started my practice as a playtherapist in secondary activity, besides my work as a conductor. Gradually the combination of both jobs appeared no longer maintainable: in both jobs I worked mostly after school hours and appointments started to overlapp, ...
Since late 2004 I went to find the job that was ideal to combine with my practice. This way I passed by various institutions and a company, but every time I found out again that the job was not quite my thing. In my practice I had the freedom to work as I wanted, the way that suites me the best. But every time my practice suffered under the pressure of the other part-time job. Do not get me wrong, I look back with satisfaction on these jobs. Every job has taught me many new insights and in every job I grew.
Late July 2009 I made my decision: I am completely independent and work only in my practice, my own company in my own may. From now on I only do my thing, what I do well.

And what kind of a person am I?
I've noticed in recent years that many things I was absolutely convinced about, appeared not to be my truth. Eg: long time I claimed that I would never be fully independent ... Or that I would never buy a house where there's still  a lot of work to do...
Therefore I now am very carefull with what I say because what I do today, think or feel, might be completely different tomorrow. By defining myself in terms of qualities and characteristics, I bound myself immediately.

Perhaps it is most appropriate to simply announcing "I am". "I am who I am".

And do you really want to know what kind of person I am? Then you should come and visit me once ;-)
