Come home to yourself

And love your life again!


You’re here because something feels off.

It’s like life’s constant demands made you forget who you truly are—and deep down, you know life is meant to feel lighter and more enjoyable than this.

You’re overwhelmed, overworked, and overgiving—tired of overdoing and overperforming while feeling disconnected from what truly matters.

You look at your life and wonder: ‘Is this all there is?

This is how we slowly lose touch with ourselves:

  • Every time you say ‘yes’ when you feel like saying ‘no’.
  • Every moment when you take care of others at your own expense.
  • Every conversation where you don’t speak your truth for fear of being misunderstood, difficult or "too much".
  • Every instance you push through on willpower when your body has nothing left to give.
  • Every time you're playing small instead of going bigger.
  • Every moment you distract yourself with social media or Netflix instead of being present for your life.
  • Every situation where you doubt your instincts or ignore your intuition.
  • Every time you feel your sensitivity is holding you back—instead of seeing it as your strength.

Hi, I'm Iris!

For years, I sacrificed little pieces of myself to fit in. To meet expectations, to do what I thought was needed to be successful and belong—not that I realized it at the time.

I was too busy taking care of everyone else—too busy doing—to wonder if I was actually happy.

It took several life events and a lot of time, energy and tears to find myself back and live from my truth. But each time I grew and came out stronger, clearer, happier and more like myself. You can read my personal story here.

If you’re unhappy about your life, if you feel you’ve lost part of yourself along the way, I recommend you don’t wait for that wake-up call to change things.

I’d love to help you come home to yourself so that you love your life again!

After several years of continuous business travelling, my 10-year marriage ended. Iris helped me to identify where I had lost myself over the previous years. She gave me practical tips and valuable insights to improve my life. This helped me to feel more grounded, mindful and balanced but also to look at the recent events with gratefulness and non-resistance as opposed to self-criticism and grief.

I felt completely supported by Iris when I needed it most. I’m so grateful for my re-awakening, powered by Iris. She embodies her ‘sweet power flow’ we all need to embrace to live a happier life.

How I Help

My work offers hope with a compass — intuitive guidance to help you find your way back to the you who feels energized, calm, and aligned. The you who has time for what matters and feels at home in yourself again.

I guide people through the moments when life, success, or circumstance have made them lose touch with who they are—helping them remember their natural rhythm, restore their energy, and realign with their true self so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and ease.

Whether you need support navigating life’s turning points and turn those into opportunities for renewal. Or you simply feel like you’ve drifted away from yourself and you want more from life.

As a life transformation mentor, I’ve spent over 20 years helping people just like you find their way to a more fulfilling life.

Feel fully alive and love your life again!

I have shifted so much in 5 months. I’m not the same person anymore, Iris! One of the things you mentioned is you are a healer’s healer and you help people stop playing small, and I think that’s what you’ve allowed me to do.

Because I feel so much more sure of myself, grounded, confident, grateful, and I cannot tell you how much my shifts have really transformed me. It’s this gradual process that when I look back now I go ‘What has happened?’ I have you to thank!

These are real problems my clients came to me with:

Getting stuck on a project and wondering if I was still a fit for the organization I work for were the start of our journey together. I deliberately say’ together’ because the warmth with which Iris lets you look at these aspects feels like a joint journey. The sessions have brought me clarity in setting boundaries, have focused my values and highlighted what I find important—leading to different choices in both my personal and professional life. I’m more comfortable in my own skin and feel more balance and at peace.

How can I support you?

My mind transported me back to being orphaned by my family six years ago. I had been unknowingly seeking in my workmates the belonging I lost when my family rejected me. This revelation was a turning point. I suddenly understood the source of many past hurts and poor decisions.

Iris helped me uncover the source of that “ugly bugger” hiding inside, causing havoc in my life. Within an hour, I felt a complete shift. It was a bright, uplifting change that had an immediate effect on my life. The results were almost unbelievable—an unexpected raise, a dream job opportunity, and an influx of projects I had been chasing for months.

After working with Iris, I learned that you don’t have to push through. You can take action, face your hurt, and make room for the growth that’s waiting for you.

RADIANT will show you how to stop pushing through and replace all the ‘shoulds’ with activities that bring you joy. What if you stopped taking care of everyone else and focused on what you need?

I knew working with Iris was what I needed to get to a next level. It’s not that I was unhappy about my life or my work, but I knew there was more than was currently visible. I’ve been able to take huge steps thanks to Iris. She is able to work on layers that you cannot access yourself. After each session I experience a shift that continues to have its effects.

Iris is extremely intuitive, razor sharp in her observations and very plugged in. It’s like a ‘new me’ woke up. Thank you so much Iris!

Iris nailed it every time. The first thing that comes out of her mouth is exactly what I need to hear. In our sessions together I get great clarity about what I need to do. She opened my eyes.
