From I’ll manage to I matter

Do you recognise this?

You are hurriedly preparing breakfast for your husband and kids. You take tension about sending the kids off to school properly, and get yourself ready for work on time. A daily repeat. In your mind you trace the status of the sports clothes, remember the school library books. Also, you must get on time to work, to finish before the deadline next week. It’s hard, but you know you can do it.
“Don’t worry, I will manage.”
Wryly you see your husband get up, and leave. He only has his job on his mind. Only yesterday he told his colleague: “She’s a super woman”. Haha. Superwoman. A bit of help at home would have been nice with that deadline approaching. You don’t mean a house help. You mean his help. But getting that kind of help seems impossible.
“Don’t worry, I will manage.”
Your friend has booked a solo trip to recover from a stressful period in her life. You felt your heart light up at the possibility, remembering the thrill of travel – new things, new experiences, new people. But it quickly dawned on you that she is not in the situation you are in. Others are dependent on you. You care about how your kids are raised and that your house is taken care of. You could never just step out.
“Don’t worry, I will manage.”
Your mother in-law calls. You hear yourself agree to give your toddler with flu an antibiotic. She is very concerned. You feel concerned too, but doctors here do not give antibiotics so easily. You have your doubts. But you can’t tell her that. On call it’s still ok. When she comes home it gets very hard. Your parents say: “Don’t worry, you can adjust for that time. They are not going to be there forever.” But you feel so tired of adjusting. And yet you really don’t want to fight with your in-laws.
“Don’t worry, I will manage.”
Sometimes you get inspired, and you want to change your life properly. Have a new food routine, workout, and spend some time on more exciting things. It remains a dream. When you sit down with it, you see no way to actually do it. Flooded with requirements and needs of others, you remind yourself that kids grow up. Your time will come. But will it?
“Don’t worry, I will manage, till that time.”

How would it be for you if...

You could feel free from the tension of running behind the facts, because you start your day feeling taken care of?
(Without needing a 24/7 all-round housekeeper, though, in some cases, why not have one?)
You would be able to communicate your needs better, so that at least your partner understands your situation and can find ways to take some of the load off your shoulders?
(Without your husband having to change his personality)
You could feel that there is space in your day, in your life, to do things that really make your heart fly and make you feel totally alive?
(Without having to board international flights or take a sabbatical)
You could stand up for your own values and beliefs, even in the face of your parents and mother in law?
(Without having to burn bridges and make everyone feel bad)
You could really flourish because you take such good care of yourself, your needs and your likes?
(Without turning into a bad mom, and without dropping your responsibilities)

What would change for the better,
if you could feel that “I Matter”?

Maybe it seems far away, but this change is possible

Join the 6 month program "Transform your life"

4 exploration & evaluation sessions to support you in your focus and dedicated self-practice work.
8 video’s with lifetime access, to assist you with self-practice work and understand the concepts we put into practice
12 deep sessions to work 1 or 2 specific areas of life that you prioritise. Based on explorations about what exactly is going on for you and what would support you best to resolve, we work on 1 issue very in-depth in 12 sessions, or 2 areas of life of your choice, to work on them in 6 sessions each.*
A digital workbook – The self-practice and progress is supported by worksheets.
You get homework assignments of up to 15/20 minutes a day. You can miss it, but you will want to do this homework!

*We cannot guarantee any outcome, neither can a time frame be fixed. At times someone needs to work for a good amount of sessions before true relief is experienced. This does not mean they do not have any relief in between though. During the consultation call an indication may be given.
Most of the time, 6 sessions are enough per specific issue to resolve it or to have a noticeable and life changing effect.

By the end of this program:

You have clarity for yourself about what YOU find important and what you do not need to take as much tension about. Eg, as long as your kids eat healthy food, you can prioritize what your work asks of you.
You can talk more clearly in a way that your partner can understand. Especially about what you want of them. Their (imperfect) contribution and/or any other solutions that you come up with reduces the burden on your shoulders.
You have created a bit of ‘me’ space that gives you that sense of freedom in a manageable way, and you started having a taste for more and the confidence that you can create that too.
You have started creating boundaries around what you really value. Be it the treatment of your kids or your own time, it is easier to say ‘no’ now. And that makes you feel so strong and stable in your own shoes.
No longer flooded with the requirements of others, you are able to create a healthy, interesting life for yourself. You have taken some small steps and feel inspired about the things you will be implementing soon.

I worked with Carolien during the pandemic and it resulted in some transformational shifts for me. We worked on my abandonment issues, looked at the root cause of where those issues came from, and then released the emotional charge associated with those feelings. The work was truly magical and helps me to this day in how I respond to situations.

Carolien is amazing. She’s kind and caring and can listen between the lines. When I embroid and need several sentences to say something, she can “fix it” to just a few words and it’s exactly what I wanted to say if I could have boiled it down. It feels safe to talk to her, like talking to a really good friend, where nothing you say is wrong. She’s there for you every step of the way. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Before we started our sessions I had anger issues and also self doubt, anxiety and shame held me back from promoting my business and to speak in front of a group of people. Even though I had help with various coaches and therapists, a part of the shifts I’m noticing happened because of the support from Carolien. I’m now able to be around family members while maintaining inner peace, and promoting my business and speaking in front of a group of people with more confidence. Carolien has the ability to use her intuition in a way like she’s almost connecting directly with my subconscious, able to uncover my biggest wounds and limiting beliefs. Sometimes it’s like she picks up emotions I feel but can’t express and puts them into words bringing clarity and “aha moments”. The way she facilitates with gentle empathy made me feel very safe and it was even funny at times when she uses her humor to lighten up the mood. Even though we worked on deep wounds it was never like a struggle working through it all because the tapping would always calm me whenever I started to feel overwhelmed with emotions. I’m eternally grateful to Carolien for helping me with her wisdom and clarity to find and release wounds I didn’t even know I had before we started with our sessions.

I approached Carolien ma’am for healing sessions when I was going through a difficult mid life career transition. I was scared, anxious and completely lost.

By working with Carolien ma’am, I was able to uproot the fears and anxiety completely, and have now kickstarted my new profession in a wholesome manner.

Further, the same set of sessions had the most transformative impact on me on a personal level

I was able to address the multiple conscious and sub-conscious blocks by working with her, and have now become a much better and sweeter version of myself

Both, at work, and in my relationships with family and friends.

Through the sessions I was able to process long standing emotions which kept me restricted in my approach to living my life and pursuing my dream career

Now I’m in a space of peace, contentment and happiness, living and experiencing life with great indulgence on a daily basis

I’m able to pursue my passion with ease and comfort, and am engaging in a more authentic way in my relationships with family, friends and just everyone else

I’m also taking care of my own needs and priorities, and in a space of great love and compassion to self

Not only have I experienced positive shifts in my relationships and self-perception, but I’ve also witnessed tangible improvements, such as changes in my menstrual cycle and overall well-being.

Thank you for your unwavering support, expertise, and the profound impact you’ve had on my life. I look forward to further exploration and growth under your guidance.

From the very first session with Carolien, I could see how unprocessed emotions were navigating my life and how EFT tapping was an incredibly useful and direct tool to understand and release them. As we go through life, at times we have experiences which we don’t know how to deal with, emotions that we have not even named and yet carry them within for years. And unknowingly they become the guiding force of our lives. Dealing with such emotions can be murky, confusing and overwhelming. And it’s incredible how Carolien helped me figure out things at my own pace with immense compassion and inputs which lead to a lot of simple yet powerful insights.

I also underwent a very difficult phase of anxiety. And I don’t know how I would have navigated through it without Carolien’s help. EFT and NLP techniques that we used were very useful for me to understand and deal with the reasons of this anxiety.

Ultimately, I made a lot of progress in self-awareness and acceptance during this most terrifying experience. Carolien was a constant support and guide even beyond our sessions. Since then I have been making meaningful changes in all aspects of my life – from relationships and my work to everyday lifestyle choices.

Frequently asked questions

I really need this program, but I am so busy. Will I be able to do this side by side?

I cannot know your schedule, and availability. If this program is important to you, you will undoubtedly find the time. Sessions can be scheduled as per your convenience, and as per my availability. Especially the ‘Getting down to the work’ sessions need to be scheduled such that you have sufficient rest available to you afterwards. Video content remains available to you, but it is advisable to watch it in the gap weeks, and do the matching homework.

I have no experience with coaching or therapy, is this also for me?

Of course! This program works when you have done prior work, courses, sessions or had loads of inner growth experience, and also when you have primarily your own life experience to your disposal.

I am a bit scared about ‘homework assignments’. It sounds like a lot of work. What do they entail?

To create lasting change for yourself, it helps to repeat and engage with your mental and emotional state regularly. This program encourages you to spend some time every day growing your awareness in the beginning, and taking charge of emptying your daily cup (of stress) later on. This may mean between 10 and 30 minutes a day, which depends a bit on your needs and what you are able and willing to put in.
The more you do, the more you will benefit also after the program from the work you put in. E.g., if you try to continue the work on your own if you didn’t practice during the program, will be quite hard.

I would like to do this program online entirely, is that possible?

Yes, the program is setup to be able to do it entirely online. If you live in or near Eindhoven (Netherlands), in-person sessions can be arranged.

How can I know that I will be doing better after doing this? I do not have a great experience with other programs. They promised a lot and did not give me the results.

There is no program that can guarantee an outcome. However, 90% of the people I worked with the changes were roughly the change that they hoped for after discussing the scope and possibilities with me. Often they got more, because a change like this never shows it’s magic in only 1 area of life.

Of course, if after we start, you feel this work is not a match for you, or I am not, and you let me know early, we will make an arrangement to return the remaining payment. I am here to support you, so in that case I will gladly help you forward to where you do need to be.

Is this therapy?

I use a combination of coaching and therapy. I am registered as both coach and therapist, and I find that a combination of these can work well.

How this works is: we will explore what really happens in some life situations. Once we have an idea of what happens, there is a possibility to practice alternative ways of handling the situation. And we will do some therapy work on areas where you feel stuck.

Roughly you can see it as – therapy work is helping to reduce unhelpful emotional responses more permanently – e.g. you notice you have an annoyingly irritated response that completely throws you off for the rest of the morning, when a loved one leaves their wet towel laying on the bed.

Coaching is more future and action oriented, and trains you like going to the gym. You train to pickup certain habits, and it requires sustained implementation to retain the benefits.

Eg, building check-in moments with yourself, to notice how you feel and what you need for yourself to resolve that (or amplify it – it can also be a very happy thing that could be made use of even more!).
