My Business Background

  • After studying Architecture & Building Technology at TU Delft, I worked at a large architectural firm.

  • I have had my own firm and worked as a lecturer/ researcher at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, where I was responsible for the development of the education and research curriculum. Here, I supervised students, lecturers, and researchers.

  • Now, I run my own practice as a Counselor Coach around Amsterdam.

My Greatest Passion
Besides Work

Long walks in nature are one of my greatest passions. Almost every year, I travel to Scotland with my brother to explore the rugged and impressive landscapes.

I am also a fan of music from the 1950s to the 1980s.

My favorite Quote: 

“If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

— Albert Einstein

Counselor Coach specialized in:

My specialization lies in understanding and influencing the brain and nervous system. Compare the brain to a supercomputer. Although the hardware of our brain often functions well, it is sometimes necessary to update the software. This is crucial for optimal functioning of our mental and physical health.

My expertise allows me to share the latest insights and techniques in this field. I work a lot with: Change begins with knowledge. By better understanding the brain and nervous system, you discover the influence of beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors on your (work) life.

These patterns can be changed thanks to neuroplasticity, which can lead to reduced stress and improved overall well-being and personal development.

All techniques are aimed at employing neuroplasticity at both a conscious and unconscious level.

My Vision

Our experiences shape our brain. This process is a continuous interaction between three important parts: the reptilian brain, the limbic system, and the neocortex. These areas determine our reactions and our understanding of ourselves and others.

I guide people who want to change their (work)life. Whether it's about improving mental resilience, developing new skills, or restoring balance in the nervous system, I'm here to help you on your way.

Together we work on building a powerful mindset that helps you reach your full potential!
