mindfulness life event setbacks overcome struggle feeling stuck

Testimonial

“When I started working with Maaike, I was a distraction collector, always gathering more material instead of executing. Through coaching, I was able to take the next steps: Now I am actually DOING and realizing my PASSION. Maaike made me feel heard and seen, which is a wonderful feeling. I honestly don’t remember what it felt like not to have my answers.”

Linda Craig — Calgary, Alberta, April 2026.

“I wish to have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference between them.”

Adapted from Reinhold Niebuhr, Serenity Prayer.

“I work with women in midlife navigating life transitions such as menopause, divorce, relocation, and loss. Come as you are, and meet me in a safe space where emotions are welcome and no thought is too messy, too much, or too small to be explored.”

I offer coaching in English and in Dutch.

Mission Statement

From a trauma-informed perspective, I help women who feel lost in their own lives rediscover who they are, so they can transform challenges into authentic opportunities for growth, and move forward with a sense of purpose, agency and pride.

My aim is to help you feel truly seen and heard, while gently encouraging you to create the conditions in which you can thrive. Drawing on my background in psychology, I bring broader perspective and insight into our conversations, helping you reframe your situation and open up new possibilities for reflection, growth, and change.
