Hi, I'm Marlies!

I love holding a calm, welcoming space where you can truly be yourself. Here, you can explore the feelings you’ve been pushing aside, the boundaries you’ve been afraid to set, and the self you’ve been longing to connect with.

I approach coaching with curiosity and gentleness, making space for slowing down, feeling, and celebration. In sessions I show up as myself, present and imperfect, so you can feel safe to do the same.

Does this sound familiar?

Maybe you notice some of this in your life:

You feel a gap between the version of yourself you show to the world and who you feel you really are inside.
You long for connection, but wonder if others will accept the real you.
You get caught in your head and struggle to feel your emotions fully.
Your body is sending signals something's off (tiredness, stress, frustration) but you don’t yet know how to listen
The roles you play don’t fit anymore, yet it feels unclear who you are without them.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, open space to explore these feelings and (re)connect with yourself.

What transforms when you give yourself space

This coaching isn’t about fixing or forcing anything. It’s about experiencing safety, presence and softness, so you can reconnect with yourself and start living from there.

That might look like:

Feeling more at home in yourself: calmer, warmer, more whole.
Relationships that deepen because you can be more honest and open.
Listening to your body before you push yourself too far.
Making choices from trust, not fear.
Rediscovering who you are beyond roles and expectations.

These changes go far beyond the eight weeks we’ll be working together: what you discover and experience becomes part of your life, shaping how you relate to yourself and others every day.

Client experiences

The true impact of coaching is best reflected in my clients’ own words. Here’s what they share, translated from Dutch:

“

"I found the sessions incredibly valuable. Marlies guided me without judgment in my process of coming closer to myself and learning to trust my own feelings more. Through visualizations, conversations and much more. I felt truly seen and heard by her. I’ve been able to make real progress. The fear I often felt, I’ve learned to face and feel by doing it together. I still notice the positive impact of the sessions every day, in my relationship and in my life. I’m deeply grateful to Marlies!" - Juultje

“

"If you’re looking for a warm, accessible way to work with someone on creating more connection with yourself and with others, Marlies is the right person for you. She’s very engaged, open and gives you the space to bring in whatever you’re struggling with. I especially appreciated hearing how she approaches certain things herself. It made me feel like we were in it together, rather than me doing it alone." - Mandy

“

"This program came to me at exactly the right moment. During the sessions, I felt so much space: space for emotions, thoughts and also for answers. Things became clear in my mind. Marlies helped me approach everything with love for myself. There was space to try things out, and when something didn’t feel right, saying ‘no’ was just as welcome. Marlies has such a gentle, grounding energy that makes you feel at ease quickly. It’s truly a gift for your own growth. I’ve made such beautiful steps thanks to her." - Nicole

What to expect after 8 weeks

After this journey, you’ll often feel more grounded, freer, and closer to yourself than you have in years. You’ll notice that you:

✅ experience more calm and softness within yourself and in your relationships

✅ can approach situations that once felt difficult with trust and confidence

✅ can make choices that truly fit who you are

✅ are more in touch with your intuition and feelings in daily life

The costs of inaction

Maybe it doesn’t feel urgent to get started on this yet.
But the costs of inaction are often higher than you think:

Your energy slowly drains

Pleasing, pushing yourself, not feeling boundaries.. It quietly takes its toll and leaves you exhausted.

Distance remains

Or relationships come under strain. Without attention, closeness fades and reconnecting gets harder over time.

You’re not fully present

Worries, self-doubt, and criticism pull you out of the moment. Life passes by while you’re only half there.

Your inner signals get ignored

When you’re mostly running on autopilot or thoughts, you drift away from a life that truly feels good to you.

You stay stuck in old stories

And so you miss the chance to see yourself as you really are: capable, worthy, and with far more possibilities than you may realize.

Opportunities slip away

You put off bold steps in work, love, or personal growth because of fear or doubt. This stops you from moving forward.

In short, staying stuck costs you energy, freedom and real connection. Precious years pass in which you cannot fully be yourself. Let’s change that together 🌱
