About André

In brief on this page: André’s development into a life coach and healer, his significance for you, 7 biggest advantages for you, and finally various testimonials from other clients.

Coaching has always played a role, and from 2007 onwards trauma healing has become another part of his work. André has progressed to develop his own style of healing, with incredible effects on the health of his clients. Other more business information you can find on Linkedin.

” Life is to deepen into myself and putting myself in other people’s positions, because if I lose myself in contact with other people, what would I win eventually?”

Key words from others about André: friendly, empathetic, humor, flexible, enthusiastic, serious, inspiring, smiley, accessible.

A coach who already was coaching without thinking about it. That was the case in the years when I was not yet working as an independent coach. Before, I mainly worked in accountancy, but preferred to be a sparring partner for clients and coaching team members, rather than preparing annual accounts. That was a point of attention during an assessment interview, they said. For me the signal to start working for an American temporary employment agency. But in 2005 this came to an end, and there was the moment to fulfill my dream of becoming an independent life coach.

Combining my financial background with coaching skills then took me into the combined role of financial and change manager at large organizations. E.g. Utrecht University, health institution ‘s Heeren Loo, postal and parcel company TNT and law firm De Raadgevers.

Meanwhile I continued to develop myself in the field of coaching and trauma healing. The attention towards job-related questions slowly shifted to the combination of work and private life, and questions regarding life in general.

Coaching and healing have become my major passions

Professional training

  • Professional Coaching Alba Academy

In the field of trauma healing, I am strongly inspired by the following persons: Dr. Johannes B. Schmidt, Andrea Wandel, Dr. Peter A. Levine, Dr. Matthew Appleton, Dr. Jaap C. van der Wal, Dr. Thomas Harms, Dr. Raymond Castellino, Maggie Kline, Gloria Desideri, Dr. Urs Honauer. I met them during training, seminars and conferences.

Major trauma healing themes at those conferences in Switzerland and Germany were: embryology, pregnancy and the early emotional contacts between parent and child as the key to our lives. Several books which I read covered those themes as well. So much to learn and understand from our embryo time and childhood!

Extensive testimonial

“I had a session with André to have a regular returning pain in my neck treated. Years ago I suffered my neck due to a collision and it has troubled me regularly. When I am tired or stressed, it often starts with a neck which completely stiffens and often leads this to painful shoulders and in some cases headaches. I have known André for years and he told me that he could probably help me. Honestly, I am rather skeptical with regards to these therapeutic treatments, but I know that André is a serious person and thought it would be worth trying.

And the result has surpassed all my expectations. André has given from the start constantly explanation about what he is doing and sensing, and after approximately 30 min my neck felt more relaxed. This session is about 7 weeks ago no, wand I haven’t had a stiff neck since despite a number of stressful days at work. André helped me enormously and of course I have to review my opinion with regards to an energetic treatment. To describe André in a few words: calm, knowledgeable, self-assured, human.”(GJ)
