About me:

To be your authentic self. Open and honest, vulnerable and pure. Taking responsibility. Connected in freedom. – These are the values I focus on in life. –

I wish to inspire people to discover their own unlimited potential and thrive. To transform their limiting beliefs into an empowering way of living, thinking and feeling.

Coaching

Throughout my career in business I have coached both teams and individuals to deliver optimal solutions and apply successful transformations. As a supervisor I have been able to guide various colleagues in mapping out their career path and achieving their goals. And as a organizer of several events I have managed both professional and volunteer teams in making them a success.

Next to being trained in coaching and mentoring, I also bring my own personal experience in to help and guide people. The way I have overcome obstacles like perfectionism or performance anxiety myself and transformed these obstacles for the better can be inspiring to others. I dare to be vulnerable and open, with the intention that my story can help others. I do this in personal interactions as well as when speaking on stage.

During the visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Netherlands in 2018, my role was coordinating the event at the venue in Ahoy, Rotterdam. This included managing the professional production teams as well as the teams of volunteers, coordinating all activities with the stakeholders and warranting that the teams executed their tasks in alignment with the other teams and the exhibitors and vendors of the bazaar that was run in parallel.

Therapy

During my coaching journey, I have found that the logical mind can often be an obstruction for progress and growth. Accessing the subconscious mind and bypassing the logical reasoning can lead to deeper insights and more fundamental changes. Changing how you think about yourself and transforming limiting believes with hypnotherapy was so powerful to me, that I decided to deepen my coaching and mentoring skills with counseling and therapy training myself. I’m now a Certified Rapid Transformational TherapyⓇ Therapist and Certified Hypnotherapist, and I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Energy Healing

In the early 2000s I came into contact with Reiki. I am now a Reiki Master & Teacher in the Usui Ryoho Reiki lineage and Karuna Ki Reiki Master.

In 2016 I followed the RITM Scenar Level 1 Professional Training, mainly to help people in my environment with chronic pain to bring relief and possibly healing.

In 2017 I first came into contact with Reconnective Healing®. After undergoing some sessions myself and experiencing the relaxing, soothing and healing effect, it soon became clear to me that I also wanted to receive The Reconnection®. Because I have experienced all this as very beneficial and wanted to share this with my environment and help other people, it was a logical step for me to receive both my Reconnective Healing™ Foundational Practitioner and Reconnection – Certified Practitioner™ certification in 2018.

In 2019 I received the knowledge and skills of the Tibetan Healing Massage (r’Tsa-mNyé) within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Buddhism

I have been a practitioner in Tibetan Buddhism and Vajrayana since 2001. I have had the privilege of receiving many teachings from high lamas in the Gelug, Kagyu, Sakya and Nyingma lineages. And the honor to have worked for His Holiness the Dalai Lama on two occasions. My compassionate coaching, loving-kindness leadership and mindfulness meditations are all based in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
