You’ve tried making changes on your own, but somehow you’re still not where you want to be. If you’re here, something inside you knows it’s time for a different way—one that aligns with who you truly are and the life you’ve always envisioned for yourself.

It’s time to come home to yourself. Private mentoring is how we get you there.

When you come home to yourself, here's what becomes possible:

As a life transformation mentor with over 20 years of experience, I’ve guided people just like you to find their way to a more fulfilling, happier life.

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

It took several life events to find myself back and live from my truth. 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.

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

Iris thank you for being such an essential part of this year, supporting me through one of the most heart-breaking times of my life (serious injury). I know that without you I wouldn’t have come out of it the way that I have. I am so thankful for Iris’ continued support towards achieving my athletics’ goals. Her words of wisdom are always perfectly on time – whether calming, encouraging or firm and instructive, everything she does is done with love and a genuine care and concern for those she works with.

How I can support you

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’re navigating life’s turning points or you simply feel like you’ve drifted away from yourself and want more from life—I’m here for you.

Many of my private mentoring clients come to me after years of personal development work. They understand the concepts, have done the therapy, read the books, took the courses—but something still isn’t shifting. They’re still depleted, still unhappy about certain parts of their life, still feel like they’ve lost part of themselves. They’re not fully at home in their own skin.

That’s because most approaches work at the mental level. My private mentoring works on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and energetic. Because we need a holistic approach to feel whole again.

If you’ve done a lot of work on yourself before, but results don’t seem to stick, it’s likely because the underlying energy hasn’t shifted. Working on that deeper layer so things transform from the inside out happens to be something I excel at. Because when the energy shifts, everything changes.

Iris works on layers that you cannot access yourself. After each session I experience a shift that continues to have its effects.

She’s extremely intuitive, razor sharp in her observations and very plugged in. I don’t know anyone who can get to the core of things as fast as she can and who can so clearly show where things are off. The new energy is flowing, it’s like a ‘new me’ woke up.

The difference I bring

I lead with love. My intuitive abilities allow me to get straight to the core of what’s off and see what’s needed for healing and clarity. I quickly identify the patterns and limiting beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck — and guide you to transform them with ease.

Thanks to my MBA and corporate background I understand the business world and its needs. This combination of grounded practical wisdom turns out to be very powerful and unique.

I’ve been supporting people and teams since 2002 and I have a track record of success. The breadth of issues I’ve supported people with touch pretty much all aspects of life. Everything from elite athletes to people going through a divorce, changing careers or simply being unhappy about their life.

Hoofddorp, The Netherlands - Director infrastructure management

From the moment we started, I was challenged on my personal development goals. Because for someone who is used to always looking ahead and further and taking the lead, it was hard to stand still and trust what is coming.

During this process, experiences from the past reappeared that still carried scars on the surface. With warmth and vulnerability from Iris I felt safe and supported to examine my own behavior, patterns and boundaries. The sessions have brought me clarity in setting boundaries, have focused my values and highlighted what I find important.

Other results are:

  • I dare to say no and trust that things will work out when I let go of something that no longer serves me.
  • I can go back to what I want and feel and what makes me happy—and act accordingly.
  • I’m more self-assured in discussions and find it easier to stay true to myself and my feelings.
  • I’m more comfortable in my own skin and feel more at peace. I’m more balanced.

Private mentoring is especially powerful if you:

Or if you simply want more from life!

What to expect when you come into my mentoring program

My private mentoring program consists of eight private one-hour sessions via Zoom. If you’d like to explore whether I’m the right mentor for you, you’re welcome to book a complimentary 15-min intro call.

Typically clients feel a major shift after just one session. Together, we’ll set a big goal, and then use a unique intuitive approach to guide our work together in order to get you from where you are NOW, to where you need to be.

Every person is different, and so is this process, and I will tap into my own intuition to provide you with the necessary insights and action steps to help you get there.

This isn’t one-size-fits-all personal development. Every session is completely customized to where you are and what you need in that moment. Some sessions we do deep healing work. Others we create practical strategies. Often we do both.

Ultimately our work together will be deeply personal and wildly practical as we get clear on needs to shift, heal or change. You’ll receive new persectives that help you understand yourself, your choices and the people around you at a deeper and new level.

Investment

Private mentoring is an 8-session program. Sessions are usually scheduled every 2-3 weeks—based on your needs and calendar.

Investment details are shared during your complimentary intro call, where we’ll also discuss whether private mentoring is the right fit for where you are right now.

The Netherlands - Director Sustainability

Thanks to the sessions with Iris I started listening more to my own intuition and what I felt: what and whom feels good and what doesn’t? And then following that intuition by making my own choices.

I no longer function on automatic pilot but think about what makes me happier. I feel lighter in my head: everything feels lighter. I am more aware of my energy levels, guard my boundaries and say ‘no’ more. It has helped me dare to be myself and take up my own space.

I am more focused on my own balance and work out more. Taking good care of myself is priority #1. But most of all I sense that a movement has taken place and that because of that opportunities come to me. I am no longer stuck. There is more lightness in outlook and more balance in work. And I found more peace and balance in my private life. I act more from my heart than my head. It seems like I’ve created it myself—that sense of “it is time”. 🙂
