I help you feel at home in Amsterdam.
With professional coaching and mentoring, grounded in real expatriate experience.
You may have noticed that expat life feels different from what you expected.
You might miss connection and balance. Maybe you’ve retreated into your expat bubble or buried yourself in work.
Or maybe you know it’s time to take real steps toward building a life that truly feels like yours.
I help you gain clarity and take concrete, practical steps forward.
Executive experience. Expat reality. Structured psychology.
Who is this for?
You are an executive or expert who has moved to Amsterdam — or the spouse of one.
On paper, things are sorted. But something feels off.
Outside your expat bubble, you feel the gap:
It’s hard to connect when you barely speak the language.
You miss the cultural references that once made you confident.
Your reputation from home doesn’t carry weight here.
Your family is adapting in ways that feel unfamiliar.
Old relationships become distant and digital.
You are someone who tackles issues head-on. You want to take responsibility and shape your life here with intention.
You are looking for a coach who helps you gain real insight into yourself and your situation — and a mentor who knows the territory.
Is this you?
If you are a manager or HR representative supporting expatriates, I also offer Corporate Coaching.
A Walk in the Park
Get clarity and regain direction.
When things feel “okay” — but not really — we take a closer look.
In six coaching walks through Amsterdam’s most beautiful parks, we explore six key areas of your life, identify what is missing, and define concrete next steps so you can feel more at ease here.
Cracking Tough Nuts
Solve the one problem that keeps you stuck.
Some issues are hard to tackle alone.
In six focused sessions, we identify your most pressing challenge, question the patterns that hold you back, and work step by step toward a real solution — so you can move forward with confidence.
Endless Horizons
Create a clear vision for what comes next.
Step out of your routine and onto the water.
In a single coaching session on the Markermeer, we reflect, explore your direction, and define the first meaningful step toward the future you truly want.
