Private Coaching to help you

RETURN TO SELF

Stop saying yes when you feel no.
And no when you feel yes.


From adaptation to alignment

On the outside, everything works


You’re good at what you do, and you get things done.

People rely on you, and you carry responsibility without complaining.

From the outside, it looks like you have it together.

But inside, something feels 'off'.

On the inside, you adapt


You feel it in small moments:

  • Where you say yes… and feel no...
  • Or say no… and feel yes...
  • Where your head and your gut don’t match.
  • Where you override yourself, and move on like it’s normal.

Decisions that don’t feel right. 

And you’ve gotten very good at that

  • Adapting.
  • Adjusting.
  • Holding it all together.
  • Doing what’s needed.
  • Being who’s expected.

But you catch yourself thinking:  Is this it?

It starts to cost you

  • You’re successful, but it feels empty.
  • You’re doing a lot, but you’re not really living.
  • You know what’s going on, but you’re not choosing differently.
  • You keep going, but something in you is pulling back. 
  • You can keep going like this.... but at what cost?

Something in you knows: This can't go on like this.

And you carry it alone


You don’t really talk about it, because on paper, everything looks fine.

But you don’t have someone who truly holds space for you.

And you tell yourself you shouldn’t complain because others have it worse.

So you do what you’ve always done: you keep it to yourself, push it aside, and move on. 

But your old way no longer works, and you feel it more than you admit.

You no longer want to override yourself


You want your yes to feel like a yes.
And that a no doesn't leave you feeling guilty.

You want more clarity in your decisions.
Work with more joy and meaning. 
And feel freer in the choices you make.

You know things need to change.

But the daily reality keeps you stuck


You keep going because something else always takes priority.

You keep waiting for a quieter moment that never comes.

You feel there is more in you, but you don’t take the step, because something in you believes:

If I take that step, I’ll have to work even harder.

And that's exactly what you no longer want.

What brought you here, won't bring you there

You think you're stuck because of:

  • A lack of time.
  • An overloaded schedule.
  • Or a missing skill.

But you're not stuck becuse of your situation.

You are stuck in patterns.

  • Patterns of over-responsibility.
  • Carrying the burden.
  • Pleasing.
  • Perfectionism.
  • Not setting boundaries.
  • Seeking external validation.

Patterns that you learned as a child and became very good at.

You are not tired of your work. You are tired of the way you do it.

There is a way back to yourself


Without abandoning your life. Without blowing everything up. Without becoming someone else.

I'm Marijke

Over the years, I’ve worked with thousands of people and horses around the world, and started to see the same patterns.

I developed Straightness Training to bring balance to the horse’s body.

I developed STEREO Coaching to bring balance to the mind.

With Return to Self, I help you balance your inner world, and I guide you through the crossing back to yourself.

❝This was life-changing for me. I finally saw of how often I was saying yes when I felt a no, and how much I had been adapting without realizing it. That changed everything for me.❞

~ Peter
INTRODUCING...

Return to Self


Stop abandoning yourself
Start living in alignment

A 6-month private trajectory


This is not a course, not a quick fix, and not something you “add on” to your life. It’s a crossing.

A process where you:

  • See where you’re adapting instead of choosing.
  • Let go of protective patterns that no longer serve you.
  • And return to your authentic self to live in alignment. 

SEPARATION

You see where you abandon yourself.

INITIATION

You let go of what's holding you back.

RETURN

You live in alignment with who you truly are.

Check if this is for you:

  • You're good at what you do, but something is off.
  • You’re done making concessions and compromises that cost you.
  • You don’t want another strategy, you don't want to work harder.
  • You’re ready look at what patterns keep you stuck.
  • You want to see what’s really going on, and choose differently.
  • You're curious to explore and balance your inner world.

This is not for everyone:

It's not for you if you want someone to tell you what to do or not ready to question your current way of operating.

This is for you if you've built a life that works, but it no longer feel like yours.

You're ready to return to your authentic self.

If this speaks to you, take the next step  

The crossing starts with a private converstation.

  • A real conversation to see where you are,
  • what’s actually going on,
  • and whether this is the right next step for you.
