I am the founder and main life coach of Own Goals Coaching (www.owngoalscoaching.com).
I help individuals with their own goals. In me, you’ll find someone who is easy to talk to, your fiercest supporter and someone who helps expand your thinking at the same time.
My most cherished values are the respect of others’ differences and a strong belief in self-efficacy. I live my life according to these values and they have guided me in all my life projects, in the countries I lived in. I believe that life is fluid and no instant is ever the same. As we grow, we go through different stages of life and theses stages demand flexibility, adaptation and change. What others call a life crisis is for me the natural reaction of a body/ mind which is rejecting something that is not suited to that person. And that’s ok. There is nothing wrong with you. You are probably in the wrong place, not where you truly belong. With coaching you can shift that paradigm and find that environment which will foster your flourishing.
