INTERNATIONALLY CERTIFIED COACH & MINDFULNESS INSTRUCTOR
Does this sound familiar?
You hold it all together, but at what cost?
You lead the team, make the decisions and keep everything moving. From the outside, it looks like success. But somewhere along the way, you've started feeling further away from yourself. You're running on empty, overwhelmed or stuck wondering whether this is really it.
Or maybe nothing's wrong. And that's exactly the thing.
You've got the role, the experience, the life you've worked hard to build. But you're starting to imagine something different. A new direction, your own business, a different country or simply a different way of living and leading. You just don't know how to get there yet.
If that just landed, you're in the right place.
You could stay here for years, a whole life even. The real question is what is it costing you, because something in you is ready to move.
How we work
Good coaching starts with a conversation you don't usually get to have. A space to think out loud, question your assumptions and explore what really matters.
Through deep listening, honest reflection and sometimes challenging questions, we'll explore what's holding you back, what drives you and what you want to do next. Because how you understand and lead yourself shapes how you lead others.
Combining coaching with mindfulness and practical tools, we'll set clear goals and turn insights into actions you can take into everyday life and leadership.
And while the conversations can go deep, coaching doesn't have to feel like hard work. There's room for humour, fresh perspectives and enjoying the process too.
Sessions take place online, in The Hague or outdoors.
Where it takes you
- Get unstuck, make the decision you've been circling around.
Lead with more confidence and less second-guessing.
Recognise what's yours to carry and what isn't.
Understand what gives you energy and what drains it.
Move into your next chapter without needing every answer first.
- Get comfortable with uncertainty and not knowing.
The hard things do not disappear. You meet them with more steadiness, clearer judgment and a stronger sense of what is right for you. You stop reaching for balance, and start trusting your own rhythm.
My Story
Transition isn't just something I coach. It's something I have and am living.
For over 18 years, I've worked as a leader and entrepreneur, leading international teams and complex projects for blue-chip companies and government organisations across the world. From Africa and South America to the Middle East and Europe, I've built my career and my life across different countries and cultures, often with a young family in tow.
I know what it's like to carry responsibility, keep pushing and feel you need to have everything under control. Until, at one point, I couldn't anymore.
I broke down. It forced me to stop and question how I was living and working. Through therapy, mindfulness and coaching, I gradually found my footing again. It changed how I look at success, resilience and leadership.
I'm Dutch by origin, a working mother, a former competitive volleyball player and a two-time half-Ironman finisher. I love working hard, taking on challenges and doing a lot of different things. What I've learned is that it's not about doing less, but finding your own rhythm and knowing what works for you.
Today, I combine my experience as a leader and entrepreneur with my coaching training and mindfulness practice to help others navigate change and find their own way forward.
Testimonials
-
What I was really looking for was a safe space outside of the business where I could be completely open and honest, explore ideas and decisions, and experiment with different approaches to managing my time, work pressures and the challenges that come with building a business, without feeling like I needed to have all the answers.
I really enjoy my sessions with Vivian. They’ve helped me understand so much more about myself, my personality and how my experiences shape the way I think and the decisions I make. That greater understanding has also given me more confidence in how I approach business decisions and a willingness to try new things and see what works.
-
Moving from a corporate career to building my own business meant navigating many transitions and stepping into new roles. Vivian held space for the uncertainty and asked the questions that helped me hear what I already knew. I gained clarity on my values and what truly matters to me, and learned to trust my own judgment and act from my core. Today, I've launched my own business and welcomed my first paying clients.

Vivian creates an incredibly warm, safe, and authentic space where it's easy to open up. Her grounding energy—likely enhanced by her breathwork and mindfulness background—consistently helped me return to the present moment. What really stands out is her ability to cut through the noise, point out recurring patterns, and help me get straight to the point to find clarity. She is a deeply empathetic listener who upholds high professional standards while bringing her beautiful humanness to every session. Plus, she is an incredible champion who celebrates your wins, making the entire journey feel both fun and supportive.
