ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Louise, the creator behind Howtofeedlouise and THE POWERKITCHEN.

I’m based in Antwerp, where my love for good food comes to life every day. With a background in physiotherapy and sports nutrition, I’ve always been fascinated by how movement, nourishment and mindset work together to help us feel our best.

Through my recipes, I share my journey of discovering how to thrive β€” and that’s exactly what Howtofeedlouise is all about: letting my creativity out, exploring and sharing it all with others.
