The Path Here

I spent 20 years building things—teams, companies, revenue engines. I was good at it. I scaled GrowthHub to a 25-person agency. I mentored tech scale-ups across 15+ countries. I lectured at business schools and spoke at conferences.

And then I hit the wall that high performers don't talk about.

Not a dramatic exit. Something quieter. The moment when you realize you've been running on fumes for years. When every win feels hollow and every morning requires more energy than you have. When the gap between how you look on the outside and how you feel on the inside becomes unbearable.

That collapse became my initiation.

I went deep into the work nobody discusses in boardrooms: nervous system regulation, hypnotherapy, energy healing, the subconscious patterns running beneath every decision. Not because it was trendy. Because I was broken and strategy couldn't fix it.

What I discovered changed everything. The gap wasn't in my skills or strategy. The gap was in what I now call Inner Capital—the internal capacity that makes clear thinking, bold decisions, and sustainable leadership possible.

"I didn't become a coach because I read about transformation. I became one because I lived it."

The Expansion Space

In 2023, we left everything familiar. Packed up three kids, no new school lined up, no house waiting. Just a deep knowing that the old way had run its course.

We landed in Mallorca. And from that leap, The Expansion Space was born.

It's not a retreat center. It's not a coaching business. It's a transformational space for high-level entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs who are ready for a different way of growth—or who are navigating the space between chapters when the old way stops working.

Here, we combine the strategic rigor I learned building companies with the somatic and energetic work that actually creates lasting change. Neuroscience meets nervous system. Strategy meets soul.

What I Bring

business_center Two Decades of Business Building

From founding GrowthHub (25+ team, 6+ years) to mentoring tech scale-ups at DutchBasecamp across 15+ countries—I've sat in the rooms where strategy meets execution. I speak the language of P&Ls, go-to-market, and rapid experimentation. I know what it costs to lead and what it takes to scale.

Hypnotherapy (Hypnose Instituut Nederland). Kundalini Energy Facilitation (Activación Kundalini Academy). Nervous system regulation. These aren't add-ons—they're the foundation. Real change happens below the surface, in the patterns running on autopilot.

record_voice_over Stage, Classroom, Boardroom

Lecturer at Beeckestijn Business School for Post-Master programs. International speaker on leadership, growth, and the human edge in an AI world. I don't teach what I've read. I share what I've lived, tested, and rebuilt from.

auto_awesome Transformation, Not Theory

I left a successful agency, moved my family to an island with no plan, and rebuilt everything from the inside out. That's not a story I tell for inspiration. It's the credibility that lets me sit with leaders in their own dark nights and know—viscerally—what it takes to come through.

The Work Now

Today, I work with leaders who are done performing and ready to rebuild. CEOs navigating the 2027 Shift. Founders who've hit their own wall. Executives who know—deeply, viscerally—that the next chapter requires something more than strategy, systems, or scaling frameworks.

Through 1:1 mentorship with the Inner Capital™ method, keynotes that land differently, and immersive experiences at The Expansion Space, I help leaders find the capacity that makes everything else possible. Not inspiration that fades by lunch. Tools they'll still be using three months later.

This work isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about discovering what's real—and building from there.

How I Work

These principles guide everything I do. They're not aspirational—they're non-negotiable.

Business Brain + Deep Wisdom

I've built revenue engines and managed teams across continents. I've also trained in hypnotherapy and energy work. Both are essential. Strategy without inner work is unsustainable. Inner work without strategic grounding is incomplete. I bring both.

Grounded in Reality

No spiritual bypassing. No toxic positivity. We work with what is—including the difficult, the messy, and the uncomfortable. Transformation happens when you stop performing and start facing what's actually there.

Transformation Takes Time

Real change doesn't happen in a weekend workshop or a single breakthrough moment. I work with clients who are ready for depth, not quick fixes. The Inner Capital™ mentorship is a 6-month journey because that's what real transformation requires.

Sustainable Over Spectacular

I'm not interested in helping you look good on the outside. I'm here to help you build something that lasts from the inside out. Inner Capital isn't about performance—it's about presence, coherence, and the kind of leadership that doesn't require constant validation to feel real.

Beyond the Work

I'm Dutch, based in Mallorca with my husband and three kids. We made the leap here in 2023—no plan, no safety net, just a deep knowing that the old way had run its course.

I speak five languages. I've lived and worked across Europe. I know what it means to start over in an unfamiliar place and rebuild everything from scratch.

When I'm not working with leaders, you'll find me swimming in the Mediterranean, reading something dense, or watching my kids figure out how to be humans. The work I do isn't separate from life. It is life.

Ready to Build Inner Capital?

If you're a leader who's hit your own wall and know the next chapter requires something deeper than strategy alone, let's talk. This work is for those ready to rebuild from the inside out.
