About

My name is Anna.

​

I would describe myself as both a deep thinker and a deep feeler. This is a very common combination for highly sensitive people. Growing up, I found these two traits very challenging. But now I consider them my superpowers. It's been quite a journey to learn how I could use these two innate strengths to create a beautiful life for myself and to contribute to a better world. I'll be sharing my stories, experiences and insights with you in my blog.

​

I studied Law at the University of Amsterdam, with a minor in Children's Rights, because I have a love for children. 

​

Then a deep soul-search led me to go a new direction. When I asked myself the question, what I really, really loved doing, the answer was: "helping and supporting people on their inner journey". So I educated myself in the coaching profession. I've completed several coaching certification programs and I continue to develop myself in this field. A few years ago I decided to also get my certification in HSP coaching. Now I combine all my knowledge and experience as an HSP mentor and coach in my own coaching practice.

​

My curiosity and interest in personal growth started when I was 19. I was struggling with myself back then and I was determined to get to the bottom of my struggle. I discovered self-help books, psychology and spirituality and so much of what I was reading made a lot of sense to me. Most HSPs have a natural ability for self-reflection, so it was relatively easy for me to reflect on my own beliefs, actions, choices and patterns. As they say, awareness is the first step to change. So, I invested a lot of time and energy in trying to uncover why I did the things I did, why I felt the way I felt, why I am the way I am. And I can happily say that inner work really paid off over time. Life is a journey. There are no quick fixes. When you approach your life as a self-discovery journey and with curiosity, you will find satisfaction in making conscious and intentional choices. Approaching life as an opportunity to get to know yourself better, results in a deep intimate relationship with yourself, that becomes the foundation for your confidence and joy.
 

Nowadays, I live with my husband, my daughter and my bonus-daughter in The Netherlands. I have two more bonus children, who just recently left the nest to live on their own. 

​

My husband and I have been together for 17 years now. At the age of 29 my bonus son decided to live with us fulltime. On my 31st, I became a mom of an HSP daughter. And several years later, my two bonus daughters also joined us. 

​

So as you can imagine, life has given me an abundance of practice material and mirrors to use in my personal growth journey 🤯 + 🤪 + 😭 + 😅 = 🥰.
