About us

I’ve always been a dedicated worker, with a passion for working in an international organization. Yet the high pace and never-ending work pressure resulted in a burnout by the time I was 31. There I was: a young, ‘successful’ woman, not able to get off the couch and walk the few steps to my kitchen. I had totally depleted myself from all the energy I had, and my body just crashed. In hindsight, I knew I was overdoing it, I knew I had been pushing it for too long. But everyone seemed to be doing it, so why not me?
Two kids, a near-burnout, and many self-development courses later, I feel completely confident that I will never get myself into a burnout again. I am now back in the driver’s seat of my own life and know how to make my time and energy work for me.I apply focus to get my work done in fewer hours with more rest. I provide immense value to those around me, in fact, more than I ever did because I look after myself well – physically, mentally, and spiritually – keeping my energy and my motivation high.

I am able to confidently balance work and family life, and have the time and mental space for my family. I am no longer triggered by every little argument. I no longer dread the days or weeks ahead, because I know how to deal with the tasks on my plate. I feel a calmness, and a drive, to share my talents with the world, and I feel secure in knowing that if I ever temporarily overstep my boundaries again, I have all the tools needed to get myself back on track in no time.
I am now in control.

What I realized over the years is that I am a high-sensitive person, and that I struggled with the very head-focused approach that is so dominant in our western society. I craved more meaning, a more integrated approach between head and heart, between knowledge andknowing, feeling aligned with the world around me.A down-to-earth approach to spirituality, knowing that everything is energy,proved to be the missing link for me.

The way I see it, we (western society) haven’t found a solid way to deal with burnout in the long run yet and it shows in the number of women who continue to go from burnout to burnout. Yes, time management tools can help, and yes, mindfulness exercises can help, but they all provide relief for only one part of the puzzle. We need a more sustainable, long-term approach of how to deal with the challenges of our fast-paced lifestyle. I believe I have all the pieces of the puzzle together now. And I believe they can be applied fast.

Lastly, If you really knew me, you would know that:
  • I’d love to talk with you about a topic I truIy enjoy (human energy anyone?) – heck, put me on a stage standing in front of a group of people, speaking, teaching, and having meaningful discussions, and I will be in my element. Yet outside of that, I am very much an introverted person, preferring my own company over most social situations.
  • I am quite picky about what I feed my body. I much rather go for quality (organic!) than quantity. Although chocolate (any kind of chocolate – not much pickiness there) is a daily need.
  • The beach is where I love to be the most. All year round, but of course especially in summer. The sun on my face, the wind in my hair, the sound of the waves crashing, the saltiness of the ocean air – ahhhh, I can feel it right now…
  • I will watch Friends again and again, at any time. Just because – you know.
  • Want to give me a present? Give me a book on how to improve myself in any aspect of life. No, I won’t feel insulted –I will truly love it!
