The Bon Bida Team

I am originally a physiotherapist and have been living on Bonaire for more than 20 years. I am the owner of Bon Bida Bonaire Health Center and, along with the whole team, we try to keep our part within the healthcare of Bonaire and Saba accessible and customer-friendly in the best possible way. This is a very nice challenge because of the diversity of our offerings and also of our patients and customers. We try to let everyone go out with a smile – whatever the reason for your visit.

Ingrid is deeply passionate about empowering individuals to prioritize their well-being and regain control of their health. She envisions Bon Bida as a haven where individuals can embark on a transformative journey towards holistic wellness, embracing a life enriched by vitality and independence. In her free time, Ingrid finds solace in creating music, swimming, and cherishing precious moments with her three dogs.

My name is Anelis. I love new challenges and learning new things everyday. I love to work with new people and to welcome you at Bon Bida.
