A few years later I started at the IEP training institute in Nijmegen with the post HBO coach courses NLP Practitioner and NLP 
Master Practitioner and I was able to complete both successfully.
This has been decisive for the wish that would come true for me and for the further pursuit of my dream.
Namely helping people as a coach.

After these studies, I joined the Equilibrium training institute in Leiden, where I was allowed to work as an assistant coach for a number of years. I am still grateful to my teacher that she gave me this opportunity and continued to believe in me.

At this beautiful institute I have successfully completed my Master Coach training (post HBO).

Finally, I obtained a diploma in Psychosocial Basic Knowledge (post HBO) at CIVAS in Amsterdam.

As an outpatient counselor for youth and adults with ASD, I worked at Voorzet Begeleiding.

This year (2021), I passed the post HBO training Practitioner Autism at Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Eindhoven.

Every Saturday morning I had been teaching 1-on-1 lessons as a swimming coach to children with a separate and / or mental condition (ASD, Down’s Syndrome, ADHD, trauma, etc.) for more than 20 years.

As a volunteer I worked for the Humanitas foundation as a supporter of requests for help during activities·
for the Companion and Support at Loss and Mourning projects.·
For the FNV I am active as a career consultant in Haarlem and Amsterdam.
At Stichting Meerwaarden I work as a volunteer as a mentor for minors with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and
also as a coach.·  

At this moment a work at Alblas Verkeersschool in Woerdense Verlaat (county Nieuwkoop),
where I give theory lessons (individual and classical) to students who want to pass for their car theory exams.
I also give practical driving lessons as a driving instructor.       

What I want.·         

Help people to achieve their goal (s) from their strength and ability, to fulfill their wish (s),
realize their dreams and realize their ideals.
In short, to let people’s hearts shine and to teach them to approach the emotions and thoughts that hinder this differently.·         

What I believe.·         

Every person, with the exception of no one, has the tools to achieve the above.
How and where these can be (re) discovered may not always be easy, but it is always possible.·
