Break free from chronic people-pleasing and ‘not feeling good enough’
Welcome beautiful woman,
Do you feel like you’re not made for the tough, competitive world that we live in? Yet, have you tried to fit in and meet everyone’s expectations? If so, you’ve probably become a people pleaser on the outside and a harsh self-critic on the inside. And that leaves you feeling like you’re never good enough (no matter how hard you try).
The way back to a life that feels easier and more authentic starts with shifting the way we show up for ourselves. Self-kindness (or self-compassion) allows you to relax. It validates everything you feel in a non-judgemental way. It frees you up from the inside out and points you back to the home that is your own heart.
If you're ready to explore the power of self-kindness, let's connect ⇩
Hi, I'm Marjolijn
I’ve been stuck in being ‘good and perfect’ for most of my life. As a young girl I was always helpful, sweet and easy going. But on the inside I was incredibly self-critical and insecure. For years, I beat myself up for not being good enough. I tried to meet everyone’s expectations of me, but the feeling of being flawed seemed to be glued to my chest.
Then I stumbled upon a book about the power of self-acceptance. It dawned on me that I could transform the way I thought and felt about myself. Instead of trying to fix all my ‘flaws’, I started showing up in a more loving and gentle way. Practicing self-kindness changed my life. As my inner world shifted, my external world shifted as well. Things that weren’t right for me fell away. Slowly, new things emerged: a different career, love, motherhood.
I am still learning about self-kindness every day. For me, it is the juice of life, the force that allows you to flow downstream. And, as a licensed coach and trainer, I am super excited to guide you towards more gentleness in your own life.

Work 1 on 1 with me
I offer private coaching to women who want to commit to a life of self-acceptance, self-compassion and authenticity.
In our personal sessions, I hold a safe space for you to bring your inner world to the table. Not to analyse or overthink it, but to transform it by exploring the power of self-kindness. As you learn to accept and embrace yourself, you will slowly rediscover the woman you truly are. And that is a magical experience.
Is this you? ⇩
⇨ You’re busy meeting expectations and have lost touch with what you actually want for yourself.
⇨ Your mind is always ‘on’; it’s hard to connect with your body and feel what it needs.
⇨ You are terrified of conflict and focused on ‘keeping the peace’.
⇨ You long to just be OK with who you are but you don’t know how (your inner critic keeps running the show)
⇨ You feel like there’s not enough room for you to rest, recharge, or just be yourself.
⇨ You long for a life that is simply easier and less stressful. A life where you feel better about yourself and where your needs are met.
⇨ You know you’ve got work to do and you’re willing to do it, but you need guidance, a cheerleader and someone to hold space for you as you grow and learn.
