Two Paths, One Journey

 

Throughout my professional life, I lived in two worlds simultaneously.

On the surface, I was building a career in HR — from consulting to leadership and coaching — across public, non-profit, and private sectors. Research institutes, international development organisations, social enterprises, startups and corporate environments.

 

Always drawn to work where people and purpose intersect.

Behind the scenes, I was on a completely different path.

 

Eastern wisdom traditions. Energy healing. Breathwork and somatic work. Psychedelic plant medicine. Twenty years of practising what science is only now beginning to explain.

These were not separate lives. They were one preparation.

My inner practice gave me clarity in the professional world. It helped me regulate my own system, work through my limiting beliefs, see beneath the surface of what people were really struggling with.

Second-generation Chinese, raised between the Netherlands and Belgium, and having lived in six countries — I know from the inside what it costs to adapt yourself across worlds, professionally, culturally, and internally.

 

And I know what it feels like to arrive: in your own life, in your own body, as yourself.

The women I work with are the ones I have always been drawn to: intelligent, purpose-driven, genuinely trying to contribute something real, and privately carrying a weight that their work, their achievements, and their well-developed minds have not been able to lift.

 

That is exactly the territory I know how to navigate.

What I bring

The Background:
BA Psychology, MA Anthropology, MA International Business. Certified professional coach since 2016 and 18 years in HR and leadership across startups to global organizations, profit to non-profit, and private to public sector.

The Practice:
Over 20 years immersed in ancient wisdom teachings (Taoism, Buddhism, yogic philosophy), meditation, breathwork, somatic and energy-based practices, and consciousness studies. Trained in energy healing and plant medicine integration.

The Lived Integration:
Multicultural background.

Mother of three, lived on 4 continents. A lifelong traveler who's spent extended periods exploring diverse cultures and traditions around the world.

That's why my approach integrates science, lived wisdom, and mind-body-energy work—creating transformation at the level where patterns are actually held.

If you're a woman who has held it all together on the outside while quietly carrying the weight of everything inside —this is who I've dedicated my work to. Because I've lived both sides: the high-performing professional world and the deep inner work that actually creates lasting change.
