Our Story
The meaning of MUCHIN
Why are we doing this?
Today, we live in a world of paradoxes: we have never been so “rich”, but never felt more poorly. We are drowning in information, yet are starving for wisdom. We have never been so connected, yet never felt so lonely. We rely on technology to guide us, but we have lost our inner compass.
Longevity has increased, but we never had so many chronic diseases, as we rely more on pills and quick fixes than on addressing the root cause. But where it really all comes down to… is that we have lost the connection – with ourselves. With each other as a community. And with Mother Nature, our source.
Mother Nature’s timeless wisdom and nurturing guidance
Mother Nature is incredibly ingenious and wise and natural forces always work towards restoring a healthy balance. As human beings, we are part of nature. To not merely survive but truly thrive again in our modern lives, it is essential to reconnect with our roots and the universal wisdom and power of Mother Nature. Reconnecting with ourselves and our surroundings is the essence of a healthy life.

Dr Anneleen Six
Dr Anneleen Six, graduated as a doctor at the KUL, always had a fascination for why her patients became sick and the neurological aspects of the body. Therefore she decided, full of curiosity and with an open mind, to further study Traditional Chinese Medicine on top of her Western Medicine. She now has a beautiful practice in Hasselt and remains a coordinating doctor on the side. She has the unique skill to ‘speak’ both language health systems and makes the bridge for all her patients. Anneleen is also the proud mum of Andreas, Marcus and Julia. She is the Earth element, always safeguarding a healthy, nourishing, caring environment.
Anouk Lagae
Anouk Lagae dreamt of becoming an inventor or a doctor. She decided to study management engineering and eventually became a successful CEO. On her international innovation path with corporates like Unilever and Coca-Cola, in London and Australia, she discovered the fascinating world of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The light bulb literally went on, given her passion for health & wellbeing, people’s energy and ‘great places to work’, all key ingredients to make any company thrive. Her passion got out of hand and she decided to study basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine at ICZO in Antwerp and graduated as a phytotherapist. And now is the time to give back and bring all that she has learnt as a force for good to this world. She may not find the cure for cancer, but if she can contribute to prevent anyone from becoming sick, through healthy lifestyle medicine, this may be the ultimate sustainable solution. Anouk is also the proud mum of Juleen, Jasper and Alice. She is the Fire element, highly passionate and leads from the heart, touching as many people’s lives as possible.
