Over the past 20 years I supported individuals, teams and organisations as coach, counselor and consultant. Communication, personal development and organisational development have always been my main focus.
My professional background
After a career as orthoptist and optometrist (1985-1999) I started working as Freelance Trainer in 1998 en was trained to become a Project Manager in 2003. In 2007 I earned my certification as Academic Intercultural Coach & Counselor. In 2008 I became a Genuine Contact Professional and in the same year I became certified in Kirkpatrick Evaluation (2013). In 2014 I earned a certification in Organizational Behavior Management (2014).
I have worked in profit and non-profit organizations in (amongst others) healthcare, education and government. Many years I’ve worked in international organizations, and I’m fluent in Dutch and English.
In 2016 I started to live and work part-time from Spain. I worked as senior executive coach and offered high-end individual retreats for entrepreneurs, managers and CEO’s.
A transformation in life and work
In 2019 my work changed due to a major change in my personal life. I’m now working as an international Biblical counselor (both online and offline), with people from all around the globe. I offer support to people who are suffering mentally, emotionally and spiritually, based on the wisdom of God as written in the Bible.
