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 imagined.

Because you want more from life. More joy, more energy, more fulfillment, more feeling like yourself. Perhaps you’ve tried making changes on your own, but you’re still not where you want to be.

Private mentoring is how we make that shift together—how you finally come home to yourself.

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

As a life transformation mentor with 24 years of experience, I’ve guided people just like you to find their way to a more fulfilling, happier life.

Iris van Ooyen I Life Transformation Mentor

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 yourself so you can move forward with clarity, confidence and ease. To the you who has time and energy for what matters and feels at home in yourself again—without the stress or guilt.

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 you through the moments when life, success, or circumstance have made you lose touch with who you are—by reconnecting to the true you underneath the layers of conditioning and by letting go of performing or fitting in because it’s expected. So you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and ease. And most importantly: more energy and joy.

Whether you’re navigating life’s turning points, learning to trust the timing of your life, or you simply feel you’ve drifted away from yourself—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.

And if you haven’t yet done a lot of work on yourself, you’re just as welcome! 🙂

Let me put it this way. If nothing changed in your life and in one year your life looked exactly the same, would you be overjoyed?

If so, then there’s no need to take action.

If part of you dreads having to make do with the situation much longer, then this is your cue to take action. Book a Clarity Session with me now to explore your best next step and if I am the right mentor to support you with that.

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 change, 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 trackrecord 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.

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 20-min Clarity Session.

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 perspectives 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 Clarity Session, where we’ll also discuss whether private mentoring is the right fit for where you are right now.

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”. 🙂
