Growth and development begin with a journey inward. They start with awareness and a deep desire for change. Together, we translate this desire into clear objectives and a focused coaching question. From there, we work across a number of sessions on themes and issues that — consciously or unconsciously — are asking for attention. This process is always bespoke, shaped by what emerges in the moment, with one constant focus: your personal growth and the goals you want to achieve.
Coaching sessions usually take place outdoors — in nature, away from well-trodden paths. Nature-based coaching creates conditions that support reflection, deeper learning and feeling. It brings depth to the process and encourages movement — both literally and figuratively. These positive effects are also supported by scientific research.
My coaching is grounded in a solid, evidence-based foundation. Through studies and professional training in Psychology (cum laude), HR Management, Mediation, Sensitive Leadership, ACT therapy and Nature-Based Coaching, I have been working since 2001 with proven models, theories, exercises and methodologies in the field of (personal) development within the business and financial services sector. This knowledge and experience are combined with a genuine fascination with — and compassion for — human behaviour, as well as a practical and effective approach, always tailored to your situation.
If this approach resonates with you, and if you recognise yourself in one or more of the following:
Are you facing challenges you keep running into?
Do you want change in a particular area of your life?
Do you have questions you have been carrying with you for some time?
Then I invite you to get in touch.
I would be glad to hear your questions and wishes. That alone is already one step further on your own path.

I experienced this coaching journey as very positive. Monique is an exceptionally warm person, with whom I felt completely safe and at ease. She consistently thought alongside me and tuned in to what I needed at that moment. She has helped me to stay more grounded in myself.

I feel more confident and capable of trusting myself. I am very satisfied. I've connected with people I never thought I would engage in discussions with. My personal life purpose also became clearer, and I've found more passion to grow in both my career and personal life.

This coaching journey has been valuable for my personal development and has also contributed to my professional growth, particularly when it comes to prioritising, having the courage to make choices, saying no, and not overlooking my own needs and feelings too quickly.
