coaching
Create your life in tune with your inner world, instead of living in reaction to the outer world.
inner truth
Self-knowledge is essential, because you can only take well-founded decisions if you have an intimate sense of who you really are. The individual sessions, trainings and retreats that I facilitate connect you with your inner truth and make unconscious elements visible. They can become teachers rather than shadows that drive your behavior in unguarded moments. By watching your life from the wings, you can play the leading role with greater awareness.

self-realization
The times we live in require more of our inner development. In a changing world full of distractions, the importance of alignment with your inner world is increasing. The difficulty is that most of the time we are only aware of a small part of ourselves. The self-knowledge we have is often based on cultural conditioning, other people's opinions and incorrect conclusions we drew from outside experiences.
Quantum physics research has shown that both our inner and outer realities are determined not objectively, but subjectively by the one experiencing the reality. Often, we are unaware that our reality is also shaped by our own thoughts, and that these thoughts are based on hidden assumptions. But how do you become aware of this inner "filter" that colors your experiences?
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

from ambiguity to clarity
Fortunately, there are tools you can use to explore your inner world and to bring what you find into focus. Archetypal images support inner research and can be used to explore those areas that lie beneath the surface. This allows a more complete picture to develop, because of the insight it provides into unconscious obstacles and inner sources of power. Although this clarity is sometimes challenging, it is ultimately liberating. Because true change happens from the inside out. Read more about my method.
unconditional space
There is nothing more healing than someone who is willing to listen to 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 see and reconcile contradictions you encounter within 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.

It's like taking a personal elevator twenty stories down, to that special place where the really important things in your life are blossoming.

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’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
"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
"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
"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
"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."
