Moving to a new country

She’s been where you are

Moving to a new country is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. Between finding your way around, understanding new systems, and simply figuring out how things work, it’s a lot to navigate. That’s where Rebeka comes in.

This sporty Czech-American didn’t just visit the Netherlands—she made it her home. Since arriving in 2018, Rebeka has spent nearly a decade building her life here, and she knows firsthand what it’s like to start fresh in a foreign country. The confusion, the questions, the moments of feeling lost—she’s lived it all. And now, she’s here to make your journey easier.

Healthcare Navigator, Cultural Bridge & Multilingual Communicator

More than just your physiotherapist

Yes, Rebeka is an excellent physiotherapist. But for expats in Eindhoven, she’s so much more. She’s your:

Healthcare navigator

The Dutch healthcare system can feel like a puzzle. Rebeka knows every piece. She’ll help you understand:

1

How health insurance works in the Netherlands

1

What's covered and what's not

1

How to navigate the system without stress

1

When to see a GP, when to come directly to physio, and how it all connects

No more guessing or feeling anxious about healthcare decisions. Rebeka translates the system into something that makes sense.

Multilingual communicator

With fluency in four languages, Rebeka ensures nothing gets lost in translation.

Whether you’re more comfortable in English, Czech, or another language, you can express exactly how you’re feeling without struggling to find the right words.

When it comes to health, clear communication isn’t just nice—it’s essential.

Cultural bridge

After 10 years in the Netherlands, Rebeka has become part of the Dutch landscape while keeping her international perspective. She helps you:

1

Understand Dutch directness (it's not rude, just honest!)

1

Navigate cultural differences in healthcare communication

1

Feel comfortable in a system that might work differently than back home

1

Integrate into Dutch life while staying true to yourself

She gets both worlds and helps you bridge them.

Active Partnership

Rebeka’s philosophy: active partnership

Rebeka doesn’t believe in passive treatment. She believes in collaboration. Your health journey is a team effort, and you’re the captain. Her approach includes:

1

Preventive care

 Keeping you healthy, not just fixing what’s broken

1

Active involvement

Teaching you exercises and strategies you can use independently

1

Clear communication

No medical jargon, just honest conversations

1

Personalized plans

Your lifestyle, your goals, your treatment plan

Whether you’re dealing with pain, want to stay fit, or just need someone who understands what you’re going through, I’m here. Let’s work together to keep you healthy and happy in your new home!”
