Meet the Team: Andrishca Kukkuk
Born and raised in South Africa, I've always carried a strong sense of resilience, community, and drive - values that shaped both my personal and professional life. In 2023, my husband and I made the life-changing decision to immigrate to the Netherlands. The experience was both stressful and exciting, filled with uncertainty, growth, and anticipation for a new chapter.
Coming from a managerial position within a service delivery environment in South Africa, I was eager to continue developing professionally and initially chose to further my studies in project management during our first year here in the Netherlands. However, as I began settling in, I realised how important it was to focus on truly integrating into Dutch society, and what better way to do that than by re-joining the workforce - connecting with people daily, immersing myself in the culture, and learning through real-life experiences.
During my years in the corporate world back home, I faced significant health challenges due to chronic stress and a lack of work-life balance. I struggled with persistent migraines and a constant burning sensation above my shoulder blades. Despite trying physiotherapy, the issues never fully resolved. That changed when I was fortunate enough to join the ONE Chiropractic Studio Utrecht here in the Netherlands. Since being under chiropractic care, I've experienced a dramatic improvement in my health. The migraines are rare now, and the burning pain that once plagued me is completely gone. Most importantly, I've finally found a work-life balance; something I had been chasing for years.
Working with a team that prioritises wellbeing, both for clients and employees, has been nothing short of life-changing. I'm incredibly grateful for this new chapter, the opportunities it has brought, and the people who have supported me along the way.
Outside of the practice, I am an adventurous person who loves to travel and seek out new experiences that give me an adrenaline rush. I also enjoy reading, gaming, and taking long walks with my two doggies — it's my favourite way to unwind and stay grounded.
