I am not a coach, not an Olympic gold medalist nor an astronaut. I am one of you! I am a motivator with a personal story of positive empowerment that inspires to change perspective and attitude. I create awareness in methods of building perseverance and resilience based on redefining and reconnecting with your feelings of freedom, hope and pride. I focus on positivity that impacts both your individual and societal well-being. I challenge you to redefine your own mental and physical balance as well as your vitality in order to help you increase your quality of life. Why? Because I have personally experienced this type of development as being the most natural so far.
I am the initiator and founder of the Kite4Life Foundation, a non-profit charity organization established in 2018. Its mission is to bring back feelings of freedom, hope and pride back into the lives of cancer patients, survivors and their loved ones by getting them to experience the physical and mental healing benefits of learning to kitesurf. We organize events and facilitate clinics on seven major kitesurfing spots of the Netherlands. Kitesurfing is a three-dimensional sport that needs full concentration to learn. It forces one to live the moment. The results are magic!
Translating personal and corporate development visions into meetings and events has been my professional background for the last 15 years. Commissioned by the clients’ board, human resources, marketing and sales departments, I design and (co)create inspirational experiences and impactful moments. The Netherlands is my canvas.
Consulting destination management and destination marketing entities such as Destination Management Companies and Convention Bureau’s. We market destinations and design meetings & events. We are able to fully set up and run site inspections and familiarization trips.
My personal motivation to travel is about connecting with people, nature and sharing moments. The professional one is about impactful networking and creating memorable experiences! Both genuine and 100%!
After an International Tourism Management & Consultancy study at the NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences, I have chosen to further engage in the travel, meetings, incentives, conventions and events industry. I have had the privilege of working for several establishments specialised in destination management, destination marketing, (strategic) meeting-event-travel management and hospitality. These fifteen years have enabled me to grow a substantial and sustainable network. I have consequently developed a passion and knowledge on how to propel people to destinations and activities that help achieve personal and professional goals.
