are you ready to Lead a courageous life?

To truly meet yourself and dare to be ever more truthful in all areas of your life

I offer 1 on 1 mentorship for those that are ready to dive in fully.

That's me

“I experience Koen as stimulating, challenging and trusted. I hear a lot of people talking about courage and vulnerability but he truly lives it. And he lets people experience it instead of talking about it.’’

— AYLA (FRISSE BLIKKEN)

why:

You feel there is more to life than this. You feel stuck repeating the same pattern in your relationships and work. You feel ready to let go of your usual way of relating to the world. You feel called to step up your level of truthfulness.

Journey:

We’ll have 5 meetings in my studio in Amsterdam city center. In these sessions I work with the breath to open a space of deeper knowing and release. We integrate these experiences with deep inquiry and meditation. And with home practices & reflection in between.

OUTCOME:

You have experienced the release and flow that living a truthful life will bring. Releasing old patterns in the sessions on both a mental and physical level. A breathwork and meditation practice has grounded you and you feel ready for every experience. You are leading with courage in every situation.

About me

16 years - officer Dutch Army
Cultivating courage & vulnerability as two wings of the same bird is the purpose of my work. Only if these are in place can the truth be revealed in your life. And the truth is where our full power and human potential can manifest.
After mastering my leadership skills in the most extreme conditions during a sixteen-year army career I departed on a path to bring balance to my life.
My path of self-development has taught me that the more I fully show up the more fully I can be met and the more at home I feel in my own life. A life that is both inspirational adventurous and deeply nurturing for the whole world.
This I share in my 1:1 mentorship program. It is a journey for courageous leaders that want to lead from a place of truth. With the breath as our entrance into a deeper layer inside of ourselfs.
Certified breath work coach
*"Breath was for me the key to the unlock my inner peace"'*
I have been trained in several styles of breathwork, I’m a certified Wim Hof instructor and I continue to develop my knowledge in this field. I’ve studied Zen-coaching and classical tantra. This keeps deepening my own practice and personal growth, but it’s also giving me tools to share with others.
Intervention consultant for companies
Now I combine my army experiences with breath- and meditation practices to lead men groups, facilitate in-company immersions, retreats and one-on-one deep dives.

What people say about me

"Koen knows how to guide me from love and trust"

“Breathwork with Koen connects me with myself, my deeper layer of emotions and feelings. Koen knows how to guide me from love and trust, in a safe environment where everything can be and I can be my full self. I also experience these qualities in other work that I have been able to do with him.”
— Dirk Bomas, strategic buying at Bol.com, 1:1 coachiee & Voluit Mensgroup program
“I walked out the door with a very light and free feeling”

“Koen's breathwork is liberating. I didn't know what to expect when I started this journey with him. It evoked a lot of emotions and in the end I walked out the door with a very light and free feeling. Koen radiates calmness and lets many silences fall, which really gave me the space to feel and name the feelings. Very nice experience!.”
— Naomi Blom, marketing manager, 1:1 coachee
“Already then and there I felt seen and taken care of"

“I had gotten curious about 1:1 coaching after a group breathwork session with Koen. There he guided me personally when he sensed I was nervous and scared of losing control, whilst staying present to what was happening in the field. Already then and there I felt seen and taken care of.
I did several individual sessions with Koen and each time it felt I got exactly what I needed to experience at that moment. In these sessions I was able to move through blockages, touching darker spaces of control, anger and fear and transforming them into feelings of extreme relaxation, expansion and lightness. Koen’s calm presence, sensitivity and intuitive guidance really supported and allowed me to do so. I loved the feeling that there was no right or wrong, no certain outcome or process expected, no efforting or pushing, but rather just utter surrender to the breath and where it wanted to take me..”
— Bibi Backx, brand & marketing manager Dima, 1:1 coachee
"Koen is the man if you want to get to know yourself deeper"

“I worked with Koen for some years now, participating in multiple groups he facilitated. I can only say it has been a transformative experience. He is a strong leader, lives in ‘truth’’ and will always be radically honest with you aka though love. But he also has a very empathic soft and loving side to everything he does, this beautiful mix is what makes him such a powerful leader. One experience in particular which comes to mind was a breathwork session. It felt like i went on a mini vacation, experiencing a deep sense of homecoming inside myself. In short: Koen is the man if you want to get to know yourself deeper, highly recommended!.”
— Jakob, two year participant mens group
