From the outside, everything seems in order. If someone looked at your life right now, they would say everything is fine. But you know it isn’t. You have a job, good friends, activities that keep you going, and responsibilities to fulfill, yet you know that this “everything” is not truly well. Inside, you feel that something is off.
It feels familiar, doesn’t it? That sense of emptiness, which is hard to explain but impossible to ignore, that follows you every day and makes you feel as if you’re holding together a life that doesn’t quite feel like yours.
You ask yourself questions you don’t know how to articulate. You live with an inexplicable inner discomfort that doesn’t disappear even when you change jobs, cities, or routines. You function, you deliver, you respond, but you feel exhausted in a way that rest doesn’t resolve.
And yes, you sense there is a direction that belongs to you, but you don’t know how to reach it. It’s becoming harder and harder to ignore that underlying feeling, and you often find yourself wondering: Is this all there is?
What you’re feeling is not weakness. It’s not a temporary confusion. It’s a sign that something within you is asking for space, direction, and permission to exist.
You don’t need someone to tell you what to do; you need a place where you can listen to yourself again. A space where your decisions come from who you truly are, not from what is expected of you. And when that happens, you begin to feel more clarity, calm, and direction.
That is what you will find here.
Born in the Netherlands, rooted in Tenerife. I’m a woman who knows exactly what it’s like to live from the outside in, trying to fit into a life that never truly feels like your own.
For many years, I did what I was “supposed” to do: I studied, worked, built relationships, tried to be good enough. But inside, there was a persistent feeling that something didn’t fit. That I didn’t fit.
At 32, everything collapsed at once.
My job, my relationship, my home, my financial stability… At the time, it felt like a loss, but what looked like a catastrophe was actually the beginning of something new. Because when there was nothing left to hold together, I could finally ask myself what I truly wanted to build.
What came after wasn’t a straight path. It was an honest process of real self‑discovery: coaching, therapy, training, personal development, and decisions that felt scary but turned out to be the right ones. In 2014, I started a new life built on believing in myself and my worth. I discovered my vocation and, since then, I’ve accompanied other women who feel what I once felt.
Today, after more than eight years of experience and with the EIA Practitioner accreditation, my work is grounded in something no manual can teach: having been where you are and having found the way back to myself.
Let me walk with you through your own process of personal expansion. You don’t have to endure any longer but are allowed to start choosing yourself. It’s time to return to you.
Where you can be exactly who you are, without needing to justify yourself or have everything figured out before you begin.
We work together so you can clearly see what you already know deep inside, but haven’t yet been able to express.
No detours, no generic answers. My style is warm, clear, and deep. Always adapted to you and to your process.
There is no standard program. Each process is tailored to who you are and what you need at every stage of your journey.
I don’t promise miracles or shortcuts. What I can tell you is that you’re not here to “fix yourself”. You’re here to return to yourself.
I offer you a real and profound process to help you transform the way you relate to yourself.
Mirjam is an excellent coach and the best that I have had. She offers a unique combination of holistic, big‑picture thinking and a systematic, logical, structured, and clear working style that I truly appreciated.
I would recommend Mirjam very highly to anyone looking for a perceptive, thoughtful, results-oriented, and structured coach to help you with identifying and realizing life goals.

As a freelance artist, I struggled to keep my creative boat afloat because I am both the executive and the creative in one.
Working with Mirjam helped me see my own reflection with the good and bad parts. She helped me see my limits and understand my situation in a realistic manner, but most of all, she made me see how much I accomplished and empowered me to be my best self.
Mirjam’s approach is warm, professional, realistic, and resourceful. She makes your struggles her mission and gives personalized solutions that actually work. Caring and generous, Mirjam’s approach is a great tool to guide you in your biggest challenges.

Mirjam is a wonderful coach. Her voice and gentle approach created a sense of safety from the very first session on. We worked on work-life balance and the integration of different parts of me in the workplace. After just a few sessions, the changes were significant.

Professional Cellist
Mirjam guided me through her coaching trajectory, Do Your Dreams, with helpful exercises, challenging me to think bigger and fine-tune what I am bringing into my work. I have a clearer idea now of how to communicate what I have to offer to potential new clients and how to tackle some insecurities regarding building my practice.
I felt Mirjam understood well what was needed for me to take my next step forward. She has a motivating and open approach. And I can recommend her coaching to anyone looking to do what they dream about.
Sophie (41)
Aurareader and Healer
Before starting this coaching journey, I felt stuck in my work and in my thoughts; the idea of starting a new assignment with a sense of enjoyment seemed out of reach. Now I notice that things are moving again: I have started a new assignment with confidence and feel much stronger professionally.
What I take away from the coaching journey is that I am better able to regulate my emotions and mood, have a clearer sense of what I want and need, and can therefore shape my next career step more consciously.
I experienced Mirjam’s guidance as very pleasant: down-to-earth, engaged, calm, and proactive. She explains things clearly, summarizes well, and encourages you to work things out for yourself in a supportive way. Her coaching style is not hierarchical, but supportive and holistic, which made me feel truly free to address difficult issues and emotions.
This coaching journey was incredibly valuable to me.

Mirjam is one of the most perceptive and wise people I have had the good fortune to meet in my life.
My goals for this coaching trajectory were to better understand what I truly valued in my professional and personal life, how to improve my work-life balance, and how to be at peace with my choices.
Her systematic approach to the coaching trajectory, with the use of specific tools and strategies, is combined with her uncanny ability to always ask the right questions. This is a perfect combination. I ended each coaching session feeling that it had been exactly about the issues that were uppermost in my mind at that moment.
I would wish for anyone to have the possibility to work with Mirjam, to find out what really drives them, how to be at peace with what is, and how to make concrete, positive changes to realize what one wants. She is a truly inspiring person to work with.

Mirjam’s coaching was especially effective because it was so well attuned to me personally. She had a clear plan for each session, but also gave space whenever I wanted to move in a different direction. In the following session, we would pick up my coaching question again, and each time she used my own words and examples so that everything truly resonated with me.

From the very beginning, I felt seen and heard by Mirjam. Her calm, empathetic presence and ability to truly listen made me feel safe and at ease. She asked the right questions, knew when to slow down, and helped me gain valuable insights through visualizations and reflective exercises.
What I particularly appreciate is her genuine commitment and the way she helped me look at myself with more self-compassion. Thanks to her guidance, I learned to cope better with feelings of restlessness, to consciously create moments of calm, and I gained practical tools to shift negative thoughts. The combination of her professional approach and warm personality has brought about real change.
Mirjam is a coach who touches you, inspires you to take action, and helps you grow. I am grateful for the journey I had the opportunity to take with her.
Martina
Mirjam coached and supported me during the first few weeks of my move to Sweden. This coaching journey gave me valuable insights into myself and how I approach life. I learned how important it is to stay true to my core values.
I also developed greater awareness of the way I communicate – in particular, the importance of speaking from an “I” perspective and clearly expressing my boundaries and needs, especially in professional situations. Mirjam helped me recognize this and gave me practical tools to put it into practice.
What makes Mirjam special is her warm personality, calm energy, and pleasant way of communicating. She creates a safe environment in which I quickly felt comfortable. She asks helpful questions and uses exactly the right tools to help you truly move forward.
I am grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her coaching.

Before starting the retreat, I often struggled to be the best version of myself. The retreat helped me strengthen my positive mindset and focus more on an optimistic outlook on life.
Now I feel more empowered and motivated to go for what I want.

The retreat in Tenerife was a very positive experience, and I received many insights:
Mirjam is a pleasant person. You immediately feel at ease with her. She listens well and asks the right questions to take you one step further. I feel a lot better than before I went.
Suzanne (38)
I came to the retreat because I struggled with some limiting beliefs that stopped me from taking action towards my dreams. During the retreat, I was able to bend them into something positive and change my point of view.
Now I feel motivated and full of positive energy to work on my dream life.
