About Me
Passion
My passion is to elevate people's energy to their highest levels of love, purpose, and fulfillment in life. I aim to help individuals thrive and shine in their careers and personal lives—not to outshine others but to become a glowing example and inspirational role model for others.
Aspiration
Life is a precious gift, yet many professionals feel trapped by others' expectations or their own high standards. I intimately understand this struggle, having once felt confined in my career as a lawyer at a global firm, heading towards a predetermined destination. When I decided to step off that express train, I chose to pursue my true passions.
Relocating to Australia, I overcame fertility challenges and joyfully started a family with three wonderful children. My creative journey led me to the Actors Centre Australia and Screenwise, and I even launched a fashion business.
Upon moving to New Zealand, I found my calling in organizing inspirational events, writing motivational children's books, and becoming an Accredited ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Certified High-Performance Coach (CHPC). As the Director of Training for New Zealand and Australia and Faculty and Course Team Leader for the renowned Coach Masters Academy, I feel empowered to live my passions and help others do the same.
Today, my life is infinitely more fulfilling, and I shine brighter than ever before. My mission is to help YOU shine brighter every day—as a person, professional, and leader. I aim to help you find your focus, define your values, and live courageously. Let's embrace life, dance through it, and enjoy every move instead of merely tiptoeing around it.
Credibility
I strive to be the best coach I can be, dedicated to helping my clients thrive and shine personally and professionally. I am an accredited coach through the renowned International Coaching Federation (ICF) and certified through the High Performance Institute. Committed to continual learning, I am pursuing further specialized training at the ICF, Coach Masters Academy, the High Performance Institute, and beyond.
Experience
My professional journey spans across multiple fields and countries, providing me with a rich understanding of varied contexts. Here are some highlights:
Lawyer/Barrister
With six years of experience as a lawyer and barrister for an international law firm in the Netherlands, I am well-acquainted with the thrills and stresses of the corporate arena. Specializing in employment law, I collaborated closely with HR professionals, business leaders, and CEOs of blue-chip international companies.
Entrepreneur
After relocating to Australia, I ventured into entrepreneurship by starting an import/export business, bringing European children’s fashion to the local market. I identified and filled a market gap, gaining invaluable business-building insights along the way.
Events Organizer
In Queenstown, New Zealand, I owned an events business that organized inspirational events, leveraging the breathtaking natural beauty of Queenstown to uplift and energize participants.
Author
Writing stories that inspire children to live more consciously is a passion of mine. I have authored books like “Feel Your Way Through Life,” “Oliver and his Magical Cloud Paradise,” and “The Lonely Christmas Tree.”
Acting
While living in Sydney, I graduated from the Actors Centre Australia and Screenwise, two leading drama and screen acting schools. I have performed in numerous plays and remain actively involved with the Remarkable Theatre Company in Queenstown.
Giving Back
Giving back has always been a significant part of my life. During law school, I volunteered at Ronald McDonald House, and after university, I dedicated time to helping drug-addicted street children at Papa Juan XXIII in Bolivia. Currently, I serve on the board of my son's charity, "The Cancer Lion," which supports children with cancer, ensuring they have a better journey towards remission.
