"Currently, I have a pause in accepting new clients due to my doctoral research. Once there is availability for coaching sessions again, you will be able to sign up for an initial consultation."
Some clients about me
Jeannette is both firm and gentle in her coaching. I did not expect to feel so much better in such a short time. I have more energy, feel more resilient, and have more self-confidence. I sleep better and can handle pressure and stress more effectively."Ingrid Pieterse, Zorg & Zekerheid team coach
I learned an awful lot from the coaching sessions with Rebecca and found them very valuable. Rebecca knows how to get straight to the heart of the matter and work from there. At times, this was quite intense, but she managed to touch something within me. By asking the right questions, discovering patterns and giving exercises I could work with immediately, I have made progress both personally and professionally. Her personal and positive approach was definitely a key factor in this."Online marketing professional - ICT
Rebecca is a witty and alert coach, clear and smart. Every time, she surprises me. Not satisfied with the first answer, she immediately asks the next question. This makes you think. Is what I am saying right? She invites you to explore further.Self-employed entrepreneur - arts and culture
"Behind every career question lies a personal one. Often, we deep down know what is best for us, but we hesitate to take action.

This is how I work
"Behind every career question lies a personal situation. With attention and genuine interest, I explore what is happening in your life and what you need to take the next step."
I am analytical and ask the right questions, giving you clear insight into your talents and skills, as well as (possibly) deeper themes.
By mapping patterns and beliefs, you gain insight into what is holding you back from taking the next step.
"I help you reconnect with your emotions, allowing you to regain your strength. You will begin to see new possibilities, and I encourage you to take action on them. This creates space for transformation."
"Are you struggling with chronic stress symptoms or recovering from burnout at home? Together, we will explore the root causes.
I help you get a grip by recognizing the physical and mental signals your body is giving you. By learning to identify your stress patterns and mapping out your triggers, you will better manage your energy balance. You will rediscover the joy in your work."
"Chronic stress can stem from underlying trauma or attachment issues. What causes you to repeatedly shift into survival mode? What thought patterns underlie this, and what are your triggers?"
To reach insights, we use the knowledge stored in your body. Self-acceptance and self-compassion create space to look at yourself with kindness and to acknowledge that what you have experienced is part of who you are today. You regain control of your own life and reclaim your strength."

Who am I?
I was born (1974) on the Nieuwmarkt, in the heart of Amsterdam. I spent the first twelve years of my life in various squats. My parents, originally from Belgium, fled the strict Catholic environment in which they were raised and became part of the squatter movement. As an only child, this meant that during my early years, I moved house five times and changed schools twice.
Through my history, I have personally experienced how important it is to have a safe and solid foundation from which to develop further. If this is lacking, due to attachment problems or unpleasant experiences, it is important that you can pay attention to recovering and healing this later in life.
I, too, spent a long time in survival mode, even after gaining more stability. Working hard, doing my best, juggling a demanding job with starting a family. I pushed through purely on willpower, even though my body was no longer able to keep up. This eventually led to a burnout a few years ago. I personally experienced what it’s like to hit your limits. Helping people rediscover themselves after a period of burnout or a significant event and find joy in their work again is what I guide others through."
