Would you like a good conversation about what touches you and what makes your life more beautiful? Then you’ve come to the right place. Learn how to get out of trouble, how to deal with your ‘favorite’ problem differently, and how to flourish.
“There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” Life is not easy. This applies to both the outside world and your inner world. Because, what if you don’t know what you want to do with your life? Or if you get stuck at work? Or if you can no longer postpone that big life choice? Or if you keep running into the same patterns? What then? Allow yourself to reflect on this with a conversation partner who really listens to you without judgment.
“Listening can say so much.” Most clients find me someone who sympathizes, supports, puts the finger on what is not right and doesn’t mince words. With enough knowledge and experience in my pocket, I see every coaching question as a beautiful mystery that wants to be unraveled. You are the one who seeks and discovers and goes through a process and I am here to support you. I work with you in a dedicated way, with humor, without judgment, and with the essence on the table. You walk out of my door with a feeling of relief, more energy and the experience that you can really be yourself.
Conversations with me revolve around more insight into yourself, more kindness to yourself and greater flexibility in thinking, feeling and doing. This way you experience peace, space, effectiveness and enthusiasm to grab the rest of your life by the scraps!
I am a real Rotterdam discussion partner. Roll up your sleeves and get on with it. Visit me in Rotterdam or Cappelle aan den IJssel; you can choose from the practice space in Capelle aan den IJssel where you can still park for free in front of the door or the one in the middle of the city where you can easily come by public transport.

Your twenties and thirties are a period in your life filled with possibilities and choices. Maybe you also recognize that, through the life experiences you’ve already gained, you’ve developed a unique outlook on life and on health. Your unique perspective has possibly made it so that you not always feel at home in our society. You now feel a deep longing to live a life that makes you truly happy and a longing to have a positive impact on the world. Those longings and the abundance in possibilities can sometimes lead to big questions:
– How can I let my intuition be my main guide in life instead of all my thoughts and worries?
– What type of job would make me feel fulfilled and bursting with energy?
– How can I transform my worries about the state of the world into making a positive impact?
– How can I feel more connected to the people in my life?
– How can I feel less insecure?
– What next step would feel best for me regarding my love life?
– What can I do to take better care of my boundaries instead of going into people pleasing-mode?
– How can I cope with feeling so deeply and intensely?
– How can I improve my mental and physical health in a holistic way?
I coach people who are struggling with these types of topics and questions and who experience anxiety, depression or burn-out. During my sessions we work on these feelings and on how to create a life filled with:
– vibrance, adventure and happiness
– a stronger connection your body and intuition
– deeper connections with your loved ones
– self-esteem and resilience
– clarity on your next step and the momentum to take the leap
– experiencing sensitivity as a super power
– being able to heal and grow mentaly and physically in a more holistic way
What I bring to the table: a safe space to open up, enthusiasm, insightful questions, unwavering trust in your strenghts and potential (which will rub off on you!) and a sufficient amount of dry humor. You are more than welcome for an intake session at my practice or in the beautiful nature around Utrecht.

My personal mission is to facilitate you in your own process and in an unbiased way. I will do that by giving back what I see and hear and by going into the core of the issue with curiosity and openness. I will motivate and confront you if needed and letting you experience and feel it yourself. Equality and unbiasedness are important themes for me. This is reflected in my way of working. Ultimately, we all just want to be happy.
I worked in Africa for several years, which was a colorful and unique experience for me. It has broadened my view, increased my enthusiasm to work for and with entrepreneurs and I love moving in an intercultural environment. Mindfulness and meditation play an important part in my life. It has taught me to let go of control, to stop resisting life as it is and become more aware of (automatic) patterns and see that we have the (choice) freedom to participate or not.

Marc gave me a new way of looking at my own choices, through very useful exercises. I often think back to some practice in making decisions.
Marc really helped me with my new career choice. He listens carefully and asks sharp questions that really got me moving. But the exercises during the sessions were also transparent. I like that he uses both spiritual knowledge and experience and can put it (humorously) in perspective. He is genuine and committed and I would recommend him to people with personal and professional questions.
Different approaches to topics that lead to different insights. Marc also knows how to ask the right questions, keeps asking questions, but also knows how to park and direct things. I always left with a pleasant feeling and look back on this process with satisfaction, which brought me closer to my goal.

‘I only vibrate at a few tones’, a quote from the passionate Dutch scientist Robert Dijkgraaf. This quote strongly resonates with me as it relates to the ultimate self-knowledge: understanding what you need and doing what makes you happy. At the same time, it touches upon a complex search for your individuality in a world that offers so many opportunities, opinions and stimuli.
For me, Personal Leadership is about authenticity, assurance and self-confidence, whilst being aware of what makes you thrive and keeps you inspired. Happiness, work-life balance, dealing with loss, self-confidence, feeling rewarded, personal growth: it requires authentic living and personal leadership. Sometimes it also requires courage and freedom to walk your own path, especially when it goes against the flow. I strongly believe one doesn’t always need to have a clear vision of where to go next – it’s the ability to listen to your inner wisdom and intrinsic longings that will provide guidance on your path in achieving your goals.
As a coach I work at the interface where inner knowledge and action meet to achieve mental, social, emotional and spiritual well-being. I have a broad international experience, having lived and worked alternately in the NL and abroad (UK, Switzerland, NY and Paris). My coaching style is openminded, supportive and confronting when needed, but always with warm curiosity and with respect. I am looking forward to walking with you on your journey.

What I really liked about Marielle is her open and personal attitude during conversations. Of course she is professional in her role as a coach, but I never had the feeling that I was talking to an 'aid worker' but just a person and that made it easy for me to be open. I also never felt that I had to answer socially desirable, but that I could just say what I thought / felt without having to be afraid of being convicted. Furthermore, Marielle is a good listener and she often comes back to things that were discussed during previous conversations, which makes her really pay attention to the situation. What she is also good at is to sense when things get stuck. She keeps asking, but the moment I really didn't know what to answer, she was able to switch over and park the situation for a while. I also really liked that because you don't feel like being pushed into a corner and only have to answer something.
I experienced the coaching conversations with Marielle as very positive. She has given me many new insights, both personally and professionally. I admire her ability to be without an organ and at the same time hold up a mirror to me. It gave me the space to be fully myself and from there to work confidently on the goals set.
I really benefited from my coaching process. I came in with a career question that I think is very typical for the 20s and 30s of today (what do I want, I am on the right path, how do I find out what I want and can do). I left with a lot of insights, especially in the things that hinder me in my work (but also private) to be happy and satisfied. I also found the peace to accept that I am who I am, including a number of qualities that I often thought 'why do I have that anyway'. I found out that the uncertainties and doubts I have are separate from my career path, but are in my person / character. With that, the career question has completely disappeared and I started working on (and still working on) these uncertainties. I also try to adjust my current work and any future jobs in such a way that I find the skills that I like.

But actually, it’s not. How do you know what your heart is telling you? And how do you then shape your plans to realize your ambitions? It’s like an artist starting on a new canvas. Or a writer approaching his blank pages. Anything can emerge. The possibilities are endless. That is exciting. And magical. But it can also be overwhelming, stressful, scary, and even quite terrifying.
Following through on what is right for you requires a thorough understanding of your dreams, your talents, and skills as well as what holds you back. It might even require a new way of looking at your beliefs. You will need fresh ideas, courage, and confidence. My coaching is geared towards helping you find these within yourself. To do so I combine my intuition and creativity with a practical and results-oriented approach.
After more than ten years in business, I longed to follow my heart. As a coach, I now enjoy facilitating personal processes and growth. It makes my heart beat faster. I’m curious about what you are to discover and where your next steps might take you.

Kristja has helped me a lot in clarifying my thoughts: what characterizes me, what do I stand for, what gives meaning to my life, what stops me, what are my insecurities? I think she is very good at structuring thoughts and putting them down on paper. Her drawings and diagrams allow you to see your own thinking steps, which is very enlightening.
The four sessions with Kristja have brought me a lot. Kristja knows how to ask the right questions, so I heard myself pronounce things that were so obvious, but that I never thought of myself ... The sessions were enlightening and I always went home with a positive feeling. I have learned a lot and, not unimportantly, also made steps.

Do you find it difficult to know what you want, do you get stuck in your search or do you feel like you have no purpose in your life?
At some point in your life, you may feel like you’re lost. In a dark forest where you no longer know which path to choose to get out. You don’t know exactly how you got there, but it doesn’t feel right. Things don’t go quite the way you would like them to, you worry a lot – endlessly repetitive thoughts. You don’t know what you want, how to find fulfillment, how to be more energetic, what job is right for you or how to get there. And you may be wondering: what am I doing here? What have I missed?
I believe that every person has a unique path to walk that brings fulfillment. (Yes, you too!) And that we were given all the tools at birth to find our way in life. Deep down you know very well who you are and what you really want. But because of patterns & beliefs from the past, the incessant stimuli and information and the high performance pressure of our society, noise comes on the line and we lose the connection with who we are by nature and what we love to do most.
I like to inspire you to stop searching, strive, control, force, slog and work hard, and teach you to connect with your inner navigation system. An excellent compass that always points you in the right direction. Knowing how this compass works makes life a lot clearer and it gives you the opportunity to give direction to life yourself and to take matters into your own hands. So that you gain more confidence and can organize your life with things that are really important to you.
This results in:
I am happy to guide you through this process. Together we investigate who you are, what is really important to you, what you love most and how you put that into practice. My working method is effective and I quickly get to the heart of the matter. Loving, but confrontational if necessary, without judgement.
I am looking forward to meeting you!
