'Working on stress and resilience has changed my life.'

About me

​

For over 25 years, I held various leadership roles in large (mostly corporate) organizations. Incredible positions where I worked with amazing people and learned a lot.

​

But to be honest? It was also quite tough at times.

​

I felt responsible, wanted to do everything right, and worked incredibly hard. When the pressure increased, I pushed myself even further. The harder I worked, the more difficult it became to step back—and the more stress I experienced. My mind was constantly racing, I felt restless, became short-tempered and more emotional. My body was always ‘on,’ and relaxing became harder and harder.

​

And that took its toll. On me, my surroundings, and my performance.

​

My turning point

​

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was treated for cancer. A challenging time, but also a turning point. I realized I didn’t want to continue like this. I needed to learn how to manage stress better so that I could perform well under pressure without running myself into the ground.

​

I took a time-out and immersed myself in the science of stress—how it works, how it affects our brain and body, and, most importantly, how to manage it effectively.

​

That’s when I discovered the power of biofeedback: stress is measurable.

With objective data, I could see exactly what triggered my stress and what actually helped increase my resilience.

​

The impact

​

Now, a few years later, I feel like a different person.

​

My body is relaxed, my mind is clear. I recognize stress earlier and have the tools to restore balance. This allows me to make better choices, protect my energy, and stay in control.

​

Stress isn’t necessarily bad—it helps us perform.

​

But the key lies in how we deal with it. Thanks to the insights I’ve gained, I now experience less negative stress and feel more energetic, effective, and positive. Even physical complaints like neck and shoulder pain have disappeared.

​

Why I do what I do

​

If I had known 10 or 20 years ago what I know now, I would have been a better leader. That’s why I now help others manage stress smarter—so they can take control of their energy, perform better, and stop letting stress run the show.

​

I believe everyone deserves less stress and more resilience!

​

A few things to know about me

​

🔹 I make stress measurable. Stress often feels intangible, but with biofeedback, I make it visible and understandable. This way, you can see exactly what’s happening and what works (or doesn’t).

🔹 I understand the corporate world. I know how demanding leadership roles can be and recognize the stress triggers within large organizations.

🔹 I believe addressing stress is a strength. Great leadership includes acknowledging that stress plays a role—and actively working on it.
