Becoming lighter,
so you can move forward.
Sometimes something feels off, while nothing is really wrong. You function well, you have a full life and you want it that way. But somewhere it pulls a little too hard. I help you make space again. Calm, clarity, lightness. Without taking over.
"I help people who feel stuck become lighter, so they can move forward."
Coaching,
one on one.
Sometimes it chafes without you being able to say exactly why. On the surface everything is fine. You function, perhaps even excellently, and still something doesn't feel right. Or you know exactly what you want, and can't quite get there. Or you're tired in a way that rest doesn't fix.
What it brings you
With me, it becomes lighter. Not because I solve it for you or hand you a plan, but because someone truly hears you, without judgment and without haste. Space opens up to look ahead again.
I don't take over. I ask sharp questions, hold up a mirror and stay present, even when it gets uncomfortable. No fixed method, no step-by-step plan. Just genuine attention for what is really going on.
Why me
Often it isn't about something big that went wrong. People say: actually everything is fine, and still something chafes. That is exactly when it's valuable to look together. I see patterns quickly, and I know the feeling of being stuck from the inside. That makes me sharp on what is really at play, without pushing you in a direction.
For people at a turning point. Who sense that life is full but doesn't quite fit, and who want to move again.

"Everyone walks their own path. Sometimes you step off it. I'm the hand at your back that brings you back on."
An invitation
to yourself.
Many people feel it long before they fall over. Sleeping badly, a mind that keeps working at night, less desire for the things that used to give energy. Not burnout, but on the way there if nothing changes.
Invitation to yourself is a three-month programme, online, in which you learn how rest works for you, even when it stays busy. Not by turning your life upside down, but by listening better, in small moments, to what your system is telling you.
Want to know if it fits you? I'd be glad to meet, tell you what it involves, and then we explore together whether it's something for you.

Seeing what
is really at play.
Sometimes thinking doesn't get you further. A constellation lets you feel and see what is playing beneath the surface, in your work, your team or your life. Often what stayed unclear for a long time becomes clear in one go.
I'm trained as a facilitator and enjoy working this way, also as a first introduction. Curious? Send me a message and I'll tell you more.
Send a message →"There is space. There is trust.
Welcome, in everything you are."
I know the feeling of being stuck. Not only in others, in myself too. After years as CEO and COO, after a burnout that was a passage rather than an endpoint, I arrived at who I always was. Someone who sees people. Not for what they achieve, but for what is in them.
That is the foundation of my work as a coach. You can only guide people as far as you have been yourself. I have gone far. That makes me sharper on what is really at play.
My background is that of an executive, in healthcare, childcare and leisure. I use that experience differently now: not to run things, but to guide.
I trained as a coach at ICF Level 2, through the Coach Potential Program at Yinx, and I'm on my way to certification. I also completed NSDR for Professionals at House of Deep Relax and a facilitator training in constellations at Broesli. Not because I had to. Because it fits.
"Not for what you achieve or prove. But for what was always there in you."

At the top,
where it chafes.
I know the dynamics of the boardroom from the inside, for years as CEO and COO, in founder-led organisations and investor-backed environments. For executive coaching, governance and transition questions I work together with Dieuwke Boersma and Esther Goedman, under the name Remedy 3.

Let's
meet.
The easiest way is to start with a conversation. Send me a message and we'll plan an introduction of half an hour. No obligations, no agenda. I tell you what I do, you tell me what's going on, and together we see whether I can mean something for you.
