Meet your Brain Health Coach
Sandra van Tongerloo is a Dutch expat who traded Amsterdam’s canals for the charm of the French countryside, bringing with her an MA in Literature and a culinary passion.
Her journey has been a flavorful one: a restaurateur in Amsterdam, an artisan ice cream maker in Bordeaux, and a gourmet chef in Dordogne.
Sandra turned brain health coach, inspired by her 6-year journey as an Alzheimer's caregiver for her mom. Earlier this year she created a new business: the Elisabeth Hendrix Method, named after her mom to honor her. Sandra helps women 50+ future-proof their brain health with personalized coaching and is the founder of Cooking for Cognition - a fusion of brain-boosting recipes and French gourmet flair. Because brain-healthy eating should never be boring.
Sandra's focus today is to help others avoid the devastating effects of cognitive decline that her mom and so many women of her generation had to face without the resources available today.
