About Me

Welcome to The Living Ember!

I’m Nina, the creator and heart behind this blog. With a background in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience (B.S.) with a minor in Art History, Biomedical Science & Organizational Development & Leadership(M.S.) I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of science, art, and the mystical elements that weave through our everyday lives.

The Living Ember is my passion project, a space where I blend my love for fitness, wellness, the occult, and lifestyle topics into a vibrant, magical tapestry. As a mom to a spirited toddler I understand the challenges of balancing self-care, personal growth, and parenting. Here, I share my journey and insights, hoping to inspire and support others on their own paths.

What You’ll Find Here

Fitness & Wellness: From beginner-friendly dance aerobics and walk-along routines to meditation techniques that fit into even the busiest schedules, I cover a range of topics to help you find joy in movement and peace in mindfulness.

Occult & Spirituality: Dive into the mystical world with me as I explore tarot, astrology, and spellwork. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just curious, there’s something here for everyone looking to add a touch of magic to their lives.

Lifestyle: Discover delicious recipes, fashion tips, and beauty routines.

Mindfulness & Personal Growth: Together, we’ll uncover the magic in everyday life and the power of self-transformation.

My Philosophy

I believe that life is a beautiful blend of science, art, and magic. Through The Living Ember, I aim to create a community where we can celebrate this blend, support each other, and grow together. Whether you’re here for fitness tips, spiritual insights, or lifestyle inspiration, I hope you find something that resonates with you and ignites your inner ember.

Thank you for being here. Let’s embark on this magical journey together!

With love,

Nina van Bendegem
