Ilse Booysen
Rebuilding strength, inside and out
About Me
Age: 36
Ilse is a social worker with a deep passion for helping others reach their full potential. After experiencing burnout in 2018, fitness became her outlet, guiding her toward a healthier, more balanced life. But it was through her IVF journey and the heartbreaking loss of her twin boys at 21 weeks that exercise took on an even greater role—it became her therapy, her safe space, and the key to reconnecting with her body.
In 2020, she founded She is Clothed, a platform dedicated to educating and coaching women on wellness and self-care. Now, she wants to inspire women who have endured loss to reclaim their strength, proving that movement is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about healing, resilience, and self-love. Her training combines weightlifting, Pilates, functional training, and mobility work, constantly challenging her body and mind.
