Since earning my Masters degree in Psychology at the University of Amsterdam I have been researching vulnerability and emotions for over 25 years. 

I first provided training and coaching in Personal Leadership, Team Development and Dealing with Emotions all throughout Europe. 

Since 2016 I run a coaching practice in West-Hollywood / Los Angeles from where I guide both American and Dutch clients all over the world through online and in-person consultations. 

In 2019 I published an 'anti-self-help book' about accepting that life is sometimes messy and challenging, and learning how to deal with that. 

Others know me from the Dutch TV-documentary 'Iris and the 12 dates' in which I coached famous Dutch pianist Iris Hond during her search for true love. 

Since 2020 in addition to being a life-coach, I am also a meditation teacher. I organize yoga/meditation retreats in which I combine various Eastern and Western techniques to enhance my clients emotional resilience and mental clarity.
