My path
I didn’t start in coaching.
I started in economics and sports management - curious about performance, systems, and decision-making.
What followed was a long exploration:
founding a sports innovation company
building one of the first movement facilities in the Benelux
working with athletes, creators, and teams across a variety of cultures and backgrounds
Along the way, something became increasingly clear:
the most influential patterns aren’t visible on the surface.
They live in how people organise their efforts, intent, attention, their own body and pressure - long before outward results appear.
Real education
The deeper learning didn’t come from one methodology.
It came from practice.
15+ years of daily movement and somatic training
meditative retreats across Buddhist, Taoist, and Sufi traditions
long-term philosophical study (Stoicism and beyond)
working with dancers, opera singers, and consciousness researchers
I didn’t follow a single certification path.
I followed my questions - especially the ones that refused simple answers.
Questions about effort.
About integrity.
About body and mind.
About perception.
About what allows change to last.
My work today
Most people I work with come from performance-driven worlds.
They are capable, thoughtful, and often successful - yet notice that under pressure, familiar patterns start running the show.
What they take with them from this work is not a theory.
It’s a practical ability to recognise:
when they’re forcing
when they’re avoiding
when effort is no longer serving clarity and integrity
And to recalibrate: in work, leadership, skill development, relationships, and life transitions.
This work helps people recognise how they organise themselves under pressure - and adjust from the inside.
The result is clearer decisions, less wasted effort, and insight that carries into real life without needing constant external guidance.
How I work
I combine:
somatic intelligence
movement and perception training
attention and hypnagogic state work
philosophical inquiry
Into an approach that helps people understand how they actually function - not in theory, but in lived experience.
The work is relational, adaptive, and precise.
Sometimes quiet.
Sometimes playful.
Sometimes confronting.
Always oriented toward clarity and integration.

You don’t need to be broken.
You need to be curious enough to listen.
