Have you ever felt like life is passing you by?
That somewhere else—under a warmer sun, or simply with a fresh mindset—another way of living is possible? That’s how my own journey to Spain began. A quest for sunshine, freedom, and a new way of life. But also a deeper discovery: how important it is to stay true to yourself, even in the biggest changes.
How it all started
My love for Spain began when I was nine years old, picking my first orange in Altea. Back in the Netherlands, I spent years working as a physiotherapist, acupuncturist, and coach in my own practice. Life was busy, structured, and in many ways fulfilling. But during the darker months, it felt like I was living on half power. I longed for light, space, and adventure.
The lesson from my brother—and what it taught me as a coach
When my brother passed away at 31, I was deeply touched by the realization that life is finite. It taught me how important it is to listen to what truly matters. Not to wait for ‘someday,’ but to take steps now.
As a coach, I often see how people dream of change but feel trapped in their own habits or doubts. I know how that feels. My own emigration journey showed me what it really means to let go and start over—and what that asks of your head, heart, and body.
Life in Spain: freedom and challenges
In Valencia, I enjoy the sun, the sea, and the freedom to shape my days however I choose. But I also discovered the flip side: bureaucracy, language barriers, homesickness, and the constant confrontation with yourself. That exact process of falling, getting back up, and persevering is where I can now help others.
Because moving abroad isn’t a vacation—it’s an inner journey. It’s an exercise in trusting yourself and the unknown.
What I can offer you

My own journey taught me that every change begins with yourself—with listening, feeling, and daring. And that’s exactly where I can support you as a coach. So that you’re not just following a dream, but creating a life that truly fits you.
