The hero with a thousand faces written by Joseph Campbell is one of my favourite books. It describes the journey through life we all make. With all its challenges, falling down and getting up again, lowlights and highlights, choices to make and coincidences, with helpers and sometimes all on your own, in search of some happiness. It gave me a new perspective: everybody has the same struggles, I am not alone with that!

Important moments in my life were my introduction to mindfulness and my decision to start my own coaching and mindfulness training practice beside my work at Philips. Mindfulness is all about switching off the autopilot, becoming aware how you are standing in life, how life is treating you. Not just busy using your mind, but learning to feel again with your body. Taking control of your life with full usage of your qualities and talents. 

I discovered that it is my passion working with people and supporting them to develop themselves, to better cope with all challenges in life. Being a coach and mindfulness trainer, I can do so, applying my qualities and talents, but also with experiences from business and my own lessons in life. Themes are "deploying your strength, self-awareness and trust, mental resilience, reducing stress, mindful in life". 
My qualities are attentively listening without judgement, curiously investigating, strong visualization power.

So if you are struggling in your life's journey, if you lost all control and feel out of balance, contact me. Together we will discuss what I can do for you.
