My Approach
‘Being open and vulnerable creates the foundation for a healthy relationship.’
The Gottman Institute, a research based approach to relationships
My approach is based on three fundamental pillars: individual coaching, relationship development and mental health.
My Education
With a Masters of Science in Business Administration I started my career in marketing&sales in the FMCG business. During my first leadership position I discovered that I loved most working with people and supporting human growth. My interest in personal development had me take many different programs in a variety of countries, as we lived abroad as a family. It lead me to professional coaching in 2007 and ever since I have been a challenging reflection partner for many people and relationships, holding you accountable for living your dreams. After more than 15 years of coaching and personal and professional development I offer you an integrated and lived experience.

Facilitation
If you’re working overseas, how do you deal with cultural differences? How do you avoid misunderstandings that can arise? And how do you meet different expectations? A lot of cultural training doesn’t go beyond the dos and don’ts. To help people from different cultures work together effectively, I take a two-step approach. Read more.
