As a transformer for thriving people and (work)spaces, I’ve learned that happiness@work (a.k.a. work pleasure) is not an oxymoron! It’s essential to help your employees become the best version of themselves. It’s not a state of ‘jumping for joy’; it’s the sum total of 4 pillars called PERK: Purpose, Engagement, Resilience, and Kindness.

I am certified as: Stress Counselor | Happiness @ Work Coach | Foundations of Positive Psychology, Univ. of Penn |Science of Well-being, Yale Univ. | Skogsfloating Trainer | Sleep coach | NLP Master Practitioner | HeartMath Resiliency Coach. All add to my mastery of the skills and knowledge needed to thrive.

My early career, with a specialty in cardiovascular diagnostics as a Military Nursing Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, has further supported me.

In addition, I have spent 6 years on the PWN (Professional Women’s Network) Netherlands Board and have been a member for 11 years. DEI is especially important to me.

My Belief? With the proper knowledge & tools, we all can improve our resiliency to what life brings onto our path AND thrive in life.

My Goals? Creating waves of personal well-being awareness, so that the individual within an organization makes the right choices for themselves. Ensuring that inclusive leadership occurs in my life-time! Sometimes a ripple can have far-reaching effects.

My Values and Character Strengths? resilient (of course!); dependable; perseverance; honesty; humor; love of learning; curiousity; equality; grateful
