Coaching Specialties
I use many tools some of which are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma Informed coaching, Byron Katie’s “The Work”, and I am continually learning and adding new methods.
My ideal client is someone open, willing and ready to explore their inner self, and the magic and mystery of the universe (e.g. 12 Universal Laws), and who is ready to take the steps and make the changes needed to live life as their beautiful authentic unique self.

About
Deep down every human wants to be heard, seen and understood. I partner with a client to assist them in finding meaning, significance or direction in their life, by holding (sacred) space in which the client can feel heard, seen, and understood. I feel a strong pull to support clients to understand and make sense of their thoughts, beliefs, values and emotions often stirred up or triggered by a life event. By co-partnering with a client, we co-create a shift in mindset so that the client can see new and different opportunities and possibilities, while too removing blockages and/or dismantling negative or false beliefs so as to support the client to achieve, or identify what they want, or who they are at a deeper Being (spiritual) level.
I serve anyone ready to plunge into exploring themselves deeper, becoming stronger and more resilient, and embracing living life fully as their authentic Self.
Bio
I have worked in the environmental industry my entire career in both the public and private sectors. I have worked for the biggest environmental organizations globally and in europe. My expertise was primarily in human-wildlife conflict and sustainable livelihoods working in geographical biodiversity hotspot areas around the world.
Having a strong sense of purpose in serving local communities, indigenous people and nature, I have been an avid life long learner of what unites us, and how and what makes us think and act the way we do. My strongest values are love, connection, and trust.
Coaching and mentoring have always been part of my life, either I’ve held the roles myself or sought support from role models, peers, and spiritual leaders. I first started studying coaching officially in 2009 with the International Coach Academy. I became a certified (Martha Beck) Wayfinder Life Coach in 2023 as well as a Deep Transformational Coach (Leon VanderPol) in 2023. I am currently applying for ICF ACC certification.
