About me
Connecting with people, creating self-awareness, and sharing ways to live a joyful life is what I love doing most.
My coaching path started with a passion for connecting with people and further developed during my work as a Registered Nurse in the Netherlands. Witnessing people navigate through challenging times showed me the incredible strength we all have inside.
This journey deepened in 2000 when I experienced burnout myself. Nothing seemed to be able to get me out of the deep valley I was in until I met a coach who worked with neuro-linguistic programming.
I started to feel better, understand my behavioural patterns and change my focus to what I wanted in life rather than looking at what was not working. I knew then that I wanted to learn how to help others overcome obstacles and create a life that is joyful to live.
​
I became interested in the power of communication and wanted to better understand communication patterns, human behaviour, and the potential for personal development. I decided to delve into Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and became a certified NLP coach.
Through my personal growth, I recognized the profound impact coaching could have on people. The transformative power of compassion, empathy, and authentic support in helping individuals live more purposefully and authentically inspired me to further formalize my skills and expertise by undertaking coaching classes and meditation training.
After moving to Canada with my family in 2008, I continued working in health care as a Personal Support Worker in hospices across southern Ontario. At the same time, I provided life coaching programs and hosted mediation classes.
Today, I guide women and men on their paths to self-discovery, growth, and fulfillment.
I like to keep things simple, work with an open heart-mind approach , and find out what brings joy in your life so you can do more of that.
It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate life's twists and turns, uncover your true potential, and finally feel empowered to lead the life you want.
