Coaching and training have always been part of my work as a teacher and scientist at the university of Amsterdam. Currently, I have my own coaching practice, where I coach people going through change processes. Next to my private practice, I coach and train people at the University of Amsterdam, TU-Delft, University of Leiden, Schouten & Nelissen University of Applied Sciences, and Downside Up.

I teach courses and workshops on identity change, behavior change, healthy work habits, stress and burn-out. Curious? Check out a sample of my audio course below.

My fascination for how humans behave, think, and feel, started early on. When I chose my study topic, it was a no-brainer. I originally started my psychology studies to become a therapist, because I wanted to help people. During the course of my education, my curiosity for research grew, I wanted to learn and understand more about the human brain, and so my Master led to a PhD, and ultimately a postdoc. During this time I particularly studied how people think and regulate emotions, coordinated a variety of courses, and coached many students through their graduation projects. Somewhere along the way I re-discovered my purpose to help others, which led me to merge science and yoga into peaceful passion.
