life coaching

Find enrichment, inspiration, and insights as you dance with life’s questions. Questions that invite you to connect with your inner world.


 

inner management

The individual coaching sessions, courses and retreats that I facilitate are intended to bring you home to your essential inner qualities. To allow you to live and act from this place. In addition, I focus on making unconscious processes visible so they can be seen as teachers rather than shadows that drive your behavior in unguarded moments. To give you a better overview, I will reflect your current situation back to you and place it within a larger context in a way that is playful, practical, and safe. Because by watching your life from the wings, you can learn to play the leading role with greater awareness.

 

 

a changing world

The times we live in require more of our inner development. In a changing world full of distractions, increasingly greater demands are being placed on our capabilities at a personal level. Self-knowledge is essential, because you can only take well-founded decisions if you have an intimate sense of who you really are. The difficulty is that you usually are only conscious of a very small part of yourself. Although you think you know who you are, this knowledge is largely based on cultural conditioning, other people's opinions and inaccurate conclusions you drew from experiences in the outside world. But what would reveal itself if you had the courage to look at things from a place of not knowing?

from ambiguity to clarity

True change happens from the inside out. Often, we are unaware that our reality is also shaped by our own thoughts, and that these thoughts are based on hidden assumptions. Quantum physics research has shown that both our inner and outer realities are determined not objectively, but subjectively by the one experiencing the reality. But how do you become aware of this inner "filter" that colors your experiences? Fortunately, there are tools you can use to explore your inner world and to bring what you find into focus. Archetypal images support contemplation, and can be used to explore those areas that lie beneath the surface and to identify inner patterns. This allows a more complete picture to develop because of the clarity it brings. Although this clarity is sometimes challenging, it is ultimately liberating.
 


when people draw from the root 
of their deeper self, they become
authentic and able to act with true
originality, for the deep self is secretly
connected to the origins of life

self-development

There is nothing more healing than someone who is willing to hear your whole story. Someone who witnesses it and stays with it, even when inconvenient truths are brought to the table. Someone who creates the unconditional space to view and reconcile contradictions that you encounter in yourself. As a result, you can find a firmer foundation to stand on when others trigger your pain points and learn how to carry yourself better. An absolute condition for a real connection with yourself, with life and with the world is that you can speak and live your whole truth. That of course depends on circumstances in the outside world, but also on your inner devotion to that deepest truth and your courage to give it a voice. I am committed to your truth, feel free to share it with me.

Through her intelligence and integrity, Felice is able to make complex problems transparent. read more A coaching session with her gains an added dimension because of the insight it provides into unconscious motives and desires. Particularly those interested in personal development have come to the right place, because she shows the way to the path that at that moment in time is the right one.
Marian Mudder, actress and writer

 

Felice is one of my "special forces" when it comes to coaching me as a husband, father and business executive. Alert as a warrior in enemy territory, clear as a glass of water, she guides people on a wonderful and impactful journey inwards. read more In every session I feel I am looking in the clearest possible mirror. It's like taking a personal elevator twenty stories down, to that special place where the really important things in your life are blossoming. In her guidance she has shown me great compassion and the highest degree of wisdom. I initially feared the Tarot cards method might be irrational, yet it is practical and offers meaningful guidance. I recommend Felice as a coach without any reservations.
Xavier van Leeuwe, CEO and business transformer

  

For the past five years I have used the coaching services of Felice as a way to build insight into dynamics that play out in my work and private life. read more They provide me with invaluable insights and support through moments of great challenge and moments of great opportunity. It is as if I have access to a deeper layer of understanding by looking at the year through the Tarot and I know I have made better decisions and had a clearer picture about choices I make by having the session. Felice is a wonderful guide and consultant. Her knowledge of the cards and their underlying meaning is evident, she is highly empathic and the way that she guides the sessions is gentle and powerful. I leave with clarity,  good advice and inspiration as the session resonates within me. Throughout the year, I find that phrases or instructions that have been given will come to me at unexpected moments offering great guidance. I can highly recommend working with Felice and working with the Tarot in the way that she does. The extra dimension it has added to my life and work have been deeply valuable.
Doris Gottlieb, organizational consultant

I’ve been visiting Felice on a regular basis for nearly a year now, and am increasingly amazed at how clear she is. Without exception and with great integrity, she brings me to a place that is rich and deep and full of insights. Although these insights can come with piercing clarity, they are always softened by Felice’s deep compassion for everything that comes along with being human. I can't think of a better witness to and facilitator for my personal growth processes.
Lien De Coster, writer and wilderness solo guide

A coaching session with Felice is like a crystal-clear bath. Whether the things in question are pleasurable or troubling, she provides clarity by shining her clear light of insight on whatever is happening in your life. With the help of the Tarot, she can offer not only empathy but also insight into and an overview of the situation I find myself in. This gives me tools, and a context within which I can recognize and understand myself. At a deeper 'soul level', a visit to Felice is like a homecoming. Even if the advice is to do nothing at all for the time being. Whether my questions are about work, my love life, or my family relationships, as far as I’m concerned, Felice’s crystal-clear bath is always welcome!
Christine, journalist

I continue to be amazed at the warmth and wisdom with which Felice offers me tools that help me in my life. Always clear and to the point, but without judgment, she arrives at the essence of what is at play deep inside. She is able to put into words those things I'm not yet able to articulate, and regards the situation from a fresh and also loving perspective. 
Rozemund, university lecturer

As I was biking home I thought, she mentiones what I leave unmentioned. Later on I thought, she sees what I leave unmentioned, which means I don't have to explain much and arrive at insights more quickly. A beautiful quality. 
Alexandra Smith, storytelling and motivational coach

With an inspiring level of knowledge of the Tarot and other philosophies, life wisdom, and empathetic ability, Felice is able to quickly arrive at the heart of the matter at hand. Seemingly effortlessly, she makes connections and introduces themes that turn out to be very relevant to both the question and the questioner. With great calm and insight, Felice articulately creates a sense of perspective for those who consult her.
Astrid Boogaart, trainer and coach
