Do you recognize yourself in any of these?
Rat Racer. You feel stuck in the rat race: never-ending to-do lists, often playing catch-up, lots of stress, too little time for yourself and for the things you love. You are often low on energy an you’re not getting enough satisfaction from life. You are ambitious, but your passion or fire has dwindled in the recent years. Maybe you know why, maybe not yet. In any case, you want to go through life with more enthusiasm and energy. You realize or are starting to realize that you want to direct your ambition towards things that truly excite you.
Happiness Seeker. You are someone who wants to get more out of life and in this process wants to experience more peace and fulfillment. If you're honest with yourself, you may not be truly happy or at least feel that something is missing. Something inside you wants to break free from the current situation or feeling. You also want to experience less stress and fear and have the courage to pursue the life you truly want.
Young Graduate. You have just graduated or are at the beginning of your career and want to take control of your life as quickly and effectively as possible. You want to accelerate your growth and understand and apply life lessons that usually come later in life so you can find satisfaction in what you do and high-perform effortlessly. You want to take the time now to understand what is important for you and start this new chapter of life in a direction that aligns with who you want to be. You want to learn what they don't teach you in school: the art of living.
In short, if you’re tired of feeling stuck, if you have a desire to change something or if you want to accelerate your growth, individual coaching might be the answer for you.
Do you feel like taking the next step in your life?
“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
What is coaching?
Coaching is about supporting and triggering your learning process. A coach helps you gain new insights and actively work with those insights. It is action- and results-oriented, focusing on the present and the future with clear goals.
When we embark on a coaching journey together, I help you to tap into more of your inner strength, to explore your potential, and to use your innate qualities to tackle challenges. We focus on effective change by making it specific and practically applicable.
Coaching is valuable for everyone, no matter the struggles you have or the level of success and enjoyment you already get out of life, because there is always a next step in our growth and development process.
Coaching helps us to uncover our true desires and our untapped potential to build more of a life that we really desire. It accelerates your growth, no matter where you’re currently at.
Practicalities
A coaching session typically lasts 1.5 hour.
On average, a coaching track takes 5 to 8 sessions (creating new habits requires at least 2-3 months).
We start with an introductory call to get to know each other and to get a good understanding of your desires and needs, making sure we step into our coaching relationship with a great match and full trust.
Every session, we evaluate the progress and the continuation of the track. You can stop at any time.
There’s typically 2 to 4 weeks between each session.
The sessions can take place online or in person.
Languages: Dutch or English.
Homework is assigned after each session to apply what you've learned.
"Loopbaancheques" can be used for subsidized career coaching (in Belgium).

My WHY
It’s my mission to bring high-quality coaching to everyone, helping people thrive in life and work while leaving no one behind.
What drives me to pursue this mission?
I think we all underestimate the impact we can have on who we are and on what we can achieve in life. We all have our challenges, difficulties and insecurities, and that’s ok. Yet, it keeps many of us frustrated, sad, triggered or irritated more than we would like to be, wich doesn't only influence our well-being and performance but also that of the people around us.
By working on yourself, you are moving towards a lighter, more confident, kinder version of yourself which isn’t only fantastic for yourself, it’s also wonderful for those around you, creating a positive ripple effect.
This work on ourselves however is hard to do on our own. Most of us need someone to bring out the best in us.
A high quality coach can be this for you. It’s one of the most powerful ways to help you on this path of growth and fulfilment. It’s personal, it’s without judgment, it creates accountability, it’s challenging and supportive at the same time, it gives you someone that sees in you what you don’t see in yourself yet.
It also reconnects you to what truly matters, helping you realize that things can be different and better, leading to more fulfillment, joy and overall happiness. And once that is in place, whatever you want to achieve, flows more easily and naturally towards you.
You are becoming more you and in the proces you are positively influencing your environment. A win for you, a win for the people around you, a win for the world.
Why choose to work with me in this coaching jungle?
I value quality over quantity. I don’t do miracle one-shots. Lots of coaches promise quick make-overs but 90% of the time, we need to do deep inner work. Although results can be fast if you’re committed, we still need to do the work, there are no shortcuts.
My promise: value for you and unwavering support. If at any time you feel it’s not giving you what you seek, you can step out at any moment without cost.
My expectation from you: a desire for change.
Quality also means that I value professional certifications:

My story: 10 years ago, I was stuck in a cycle of hard work, constant busyness and stress lacking passion and energy (the typical rat racer). In 2015, I took a sabbatical to rediscover how to take control of my life. I delved into personal development, learning how to cultivate happiness, how to influence our thoughts and behaviors, and how to unlock our potential. Filled with energy and determination, I decided to live a life that makes me truly happy, and part of that life is wanting to help you grow into the version of yourself that dares to live the life you truly want.

Are you curious to live the life you really want?
Are you ready to commit to your best self?

Your future self will thank you for it.
