ABOUT ELS

As an operational and transition manager in the hospitality industry, I have experienced that I am able to see the person behind 'the mask'. Through my coaching experience in, among other things, the social domain, the government and my own practice, I know that everyone has a natural power to shape his or her life the way it suits them best.

Growing up with Indonesian roots, in a partly Dutch and partly Indonesian family, I know how difficult it is to find your own place in the world. On the one hand, a family with a strong Indonesian identity, and on the other hand, a family that has difficulty with diversity has ensured that I can sense and see what is happening with the other person.

Due to my background as a Kung Fu teacher and my love for and teaching yoga, I know that the body tells us a lot. By working body-oriented, I guide you back to the here and now and let you experience what it takes to recover, and to know what it is really about. As a coach with expertise in Bi-cultural questions and Stress & Burnout, I believe and know that everyone has the power to live autonomously and simultaneously in connection with others.

In 2019 I decided to set up my own practice and continue to work on my personal development and growth. This is achieved by having completed various courses in coaching, positive psychology, health psychology and the in-depth course 'Dynamic coaching for stress and burnout' at College de Baak.
