I had the opportunity to work with Astrid for a few months and to get to know her on a more personal level. I can honestly say that I was impressed by her level of care, sensitivity, and empathy. She easily relates to people’s feelings and thoughts and tailors her support based on each individual’s needs.

Astrid is highly sensitive and has an exceptional ability to sense exactly what is going on with others. It’s remarkable how she is able to understand the fast-paced and high-pressure nature of the business world, partly due to her own commercial background in high-tech companies. To me, she embodies the ideal mix of insight and empathy.

I’m not Dutch, but I fell in love with a Dutch man, which led me to move to the Netherlands. A culture shock and a number of difficult experiences caused me to fall into a depression, even though I’ve always seen myself as a strong person. Astrid helped me understand that being vulnerable is also a part of my strong personality.

There are currently a lot of changes happening in the organization where I work, and I find that difficult. I’m often the only woman, so I don’t really have anyone to bounce ideas off or share experiences with. Together with Astrid, I explored why I struggle with change and how I can remain calmer in the face of it. With her knowledge and experience, she understands exactly what I’m dealing with. I’ve experienced a burnout before, and I want to prevent that from happening again.

I had been searching for a sense of peace for such a long time, but I just couldn’t find it on my own. Through Astrid, I came to understand that I needed to focus more on simply being. Instead of constantly keeping busy, I learned to sometimes do nothing and in doing so, create small moments of happiness. I used to experience those moments unconsciously, but now I do it with intention. And it’s truly wonderful.

Astrid follows her intuition and doesn’t let herself be limited by rules.



Astrid works from a broad perspective and knows how to zoom in on the shared goal. In doing so, she helps guide people toward their own personal strengths.

Astrid is a woman who combines an open, gentle, and approachable nature with the life wisdom and experience to truly support other women in their personal development. She helps you connect with your emotions and use them as a source of strength in that journey.

At the same time, she is strong, decisive, and stays true to herself. Astrid isn’t easily influenced by others and makes her own choices. Because she has learned how to take good care of herself, she is especially well-equipped to help others do the same.

She has an almost sixth sense that allows her to sense exactly what’s going on with others.a

I find it quite difficult to make my own choices. I’m used to listening to my parents, my husband, my friends, but not to myself. That’s what I learned with Astrid. How? She simply held up a mirror to me, because deep down, I actually do know what’s right for me. I just didn’t really dare to trust it.

I have a busy job in IT, travel abroad frequently, and I don’t have a partner, but I do have a desire to have children. Is motherhood even an option for me? And if so, how would I combine it with my career? It’s been quite a journey. I’m grateful that Astrid helped me through it.
