Things I love:
I'm a business builder who speaks the language of the boardroom and the language of the soul. Boots in the mud, champagne in hand — I look well beyond the spreadsheets. Strategy without foundation is noise. Magic without structure is nothing more than a dream.
What drives me, what lights me up, and what makes me genuinely happy:
The Human Spark
I look for the precise point where energy transforms into growth. Why do you do what you do? For me, everything comes down to genuine connection. People who truly find each other, that is what makes me happy.
A Life of Contrasts
I get equally excited about AI and digital systems as I do about books on ancient civilizations. The past gives us foundation. The future demands our leadership. I move freely between sharp business thinking and human softness.
The Art of Living
Aesthetics are not a luxury for me, they are a necessity. A beautifully set table on an ordinary Tuesday, the scent of seasonal food on the stove, or that moment of pure focus and flow on horseback. Form and detail determine how things land. I stand for a full life, lived entirely on my own terms.
Grounded Magic
I translate the energetic into grounded, tangible results. No vagueness, precise perception that leads to ownership and clarity. Knowing there is more between heaven and earth, I step into each day more consciously and more fully. It's nice to know the 'why' behind what's happening in your life.
Hi, it's lovely to 'meet' you!
Nature, seasons, and my dogs.
Impact, love, and meaningful change.
Trying to Master the art of living.
Life, for me, is a continuous inquiry into balance, autonomy, and the artistry present in every detail. I find joy in the flow where everything converges, whether that's on horseback or at a beautifully set table. The conscious choice to make something meaningful out of each moment is what gives my daily life its edge.
The rhythm of the seasons reminds me that everything has its own time. Walking with my dogs is my daily anchor in the present. I live by natural cycles and find genuine beauty in the way life moves when you stop forcing it.
I love finding the noise and cutting through it. Discovery, renewal, impact that shifts the world in a way that actually feels good, an appreciation for both the grand and the quietly ordinary.

De menselijke verbinding
Koken met puurheid
I am an entrepreneur at heart. Starting, growing, and deeply understanding businesses brings me genuine joy. My work sits at the intersection where analytical thinking and intuition finally decide to collaborate, and where that collaboration produces something neither could achieve alone. I believe in magic. The grounded kind. Think of it as a refined form of perception: a capacity that, when developed with care, becomes one of the sharpest tools in your arsenal.
I work primarily with women to open and refine the energetic counterparts of their everyday senses. Because let's be honest: the best decisions are rarely made in a spreadsheet alone. As a medium and trainer in intuitive development, I treat intuition not as something abstract or otherworldly, but as a sophisticated human capacity that plays a decisive role in leadership and decision-making. I teach you to perceive clearly, without distortion, without projection, and without losing yourself in the process.
I believe in a full life. And a full life requires both breadth of perspective and the inner competencies to carry everything it asks of you.
I started building businesses very young. In the decade that followed, I watched organizations soar, stall, and rise from the ashes. I look at a business the way I look at people: with genuine attention to the zeitgeist, the context, and the many layers from which any system is built. No two are alike. And that is precisely what makes it interesting.
As a strategic advisor, I guide leaders and businesses who feel the shape of things has started to constrict them. I see the patterns that remain invisible to the naked eye. I restore the alignment between your vision, the structure of your business, and your daily actions, direct, precise, and without the noise of surface-level solutions.
I build alongside projects that carry a bold vision and clear core values. Where I am truly engaged, movement that lasts begins to emerge.
I am drawn to depth, to growth, and to the way everything is genuinely interconnected. The best way to discover whether we are a match is through dialogue. That is where nuance lives. Want to get a feel for how I think? Read my blog or listen to the podcast. Ready for the real depth? I would love to meet you in person, or on the screen.
Have a wonderful day,
Merel
