  • In his fungal nail practice, Peter Boeters has been seeing people walk in full of shame for years – “It’s really bad…” – and confidently go back to go outside. Business is going so well that the innovative products and treatment he developed with his team are now also available for pedicures at home and abroad.

    Especially now that the warmer days are coming again and the slippers are allowed to wear again, you often notice that one fungal nail or fungal nail. “Perhaps you have tried a remedy from the drugstore, most likely without result,” says Peter. “With Tiptoe we have combined a super effective treatment plan with patented, self-developed products. After a trajectory at our practice in Capelle or De Lier, you finally really get rid of it and the complaints come back less quickly.”

    Body’s own substance

    The active substance in Tiptoe’s products – peptide – is not only effective, but also natural, explains Peter. “It is in everyone’s mouth and eyes and protects you against viruses and bacteria. The great thing about the fact that it is a body’s own substance is that it can be used safely by anyone from the age of three. The microbiologist who discovered that this substance kills fungi and yeasts on the nail is involved in Tiptoe. Together we have developed four effective products”.

    Explanation about the patented products

    The Tiptoe Nail Drops form the basis of the fungal nail treatment. You drop it between the nail and the skin in the morning and evening so that the nails grow out faster and the fungi are expelled. Tiptoe Clean Your Shoes is – you guessed it – a shoe spray. This kills the fungi in your shoes to prevent reinfection. The Tiptoe Protect Your Feet spray disinfects your feet after a visit to the swimming pool or sauna, for example, while you use the Tiptoe Care Foam correctly used as a precaution. This mousse, as it were, puts a protective shield around your skin, which prevents you from contracting fungi again. Ideal if you have to walk barefoot in a public space, such as a hotel or yoga studio.

    Treatments in Capelle and De Lier

    You will find the special Tiptoe practice in Capelle aan den IJssel, on the Kanaalweg 10. You can also go to De Lier (Westland). The intake is free and without obligation at both locations. You can register here. Good to know: the team has recently been expanded with a doctor who can also prescribe local antibiotics in more serious cases. The patented products are only available at Tiptoe practices and affiliated pedicures.

    Success stories from people who have been treated by Peter and his team you can read here. Would you rather see the result with your own eyes? Then view the before-and-after photos.

    Angela knows better than anyone that dancing makes you happy and connects people. After a life full of ups & downs in El Salvador, she is now completely at home in The Hague. At Latin Soul Dance she gives dance fitness classes such as Zumba (there are now also free outdoor classes!) and she starts with a swinging Salsa course.

    One thing has always remained the same in Angela’s life: her love for dancing. “I grew up in El Salvador during the civil war,” she says. “Dance became a way for me to stay mentally and emotionally healthy. When I danced, the stress and anxiety disappeared for a while.”

    From lawyer to dance teacher

    Still, Angela did not directly earn her living with dancing. “I graduated from university with a law degree and became a mother of two. I was a lawyer, but it still tickled. Everywhere I went, I took Zumba classes. When I moved to the Netherlands a few years ago, I decided to turn my passion into my profession. As a Zumba instructor I taught in various places in The Hague and in 25 I opened my own studio: Latin Soul Dance.”

    Everyone is welcome to Latin Soul Dance

    Her dance studio specializes in Latin fitness dance styles such as Zumba fitness, Salsafit and Reggaetonfit. “The lessons are given in an attractive room on the Waldeck Pyrmontkade. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age or dance level. Recently there is also a special class for seniors: Zumba Gold. This way you can keep moving even if you are less mobile. I like to help people improve their skills, but it’s mostly about dancing and having fun together. Dancing can be very meditative and calming while providing a lot of energy and positivity at the same time. Your physical and mental well-being get a boost!”

    Positive dance-community

    “It soon became apparent that the dance studio is also a place that brings people together from all over the world. There are currently 25 different nationalities dancing here! Everyone is welcomed with open arms and the mutual energy is contagious. It is a very nice and positive community. To reinforce that connecting atmosphere, we also organize special events and themed parties. Beautiful friendships always arise, very nice to see.”

    Guidance and support

    In addition, Angela is committed to helping others become Zumba instructors themselves. She offers guidance and support to those interested in a career in fitness and dance and is always ready to lend a helping hand. Her passion and drive have already inspired many of her students to become instructors themselves!

    The free outdoor lessons are a great success!

    Along with her Zumba friend and colleague Ouafa, Angela has also started a new program during the pandemic: Zumba outdoor classes. “For example, during the lockdowns, people still had that much-needed outlet. It was such a success that we will continue with the outdoor lessons at Sportcampus Zuiderpark.

    Until July we can even offer these lessons for free thanks to the subsidy from CultuurSchakel, so that they be accessible to everyone.” The perfect opportunity to join this vibrant dance family! Take a quick look

    on the schedule on which Saturdays you can be here.

    New: take a Salsa course!

    “My heart beats to the rhythm of Latin American dance”, Angela continues. “It was therefore my dream to organize dance courses in addition to the dance fitness classes, and now it’s time!” In

    the first

    Salsa course starts from weekly classes on Monday evenings. “Together with my experienced dance colleague Nelson, a Latin instructor from Venezuela, I will pass on the art of Cuban Salsa dancing!”

    “I can see that my love for the dance is very contagious. You will learn a lot and you will also become part of a very nice dance community.” Do you want to join? Register as soon as possible so that you can still enroll. “Don’t worry: I’ll make you completely up to date. Let yourself be carried away by the rousing music, discover the pleasure of dancing to Latin rhythms and experience happiness!”
