Intuition and enthusiasm

My name is Isabella van Batenburg and I am 36 years old and born in Vlaardingen. Coaching and guiding others has always interested me. I have a deep fascination for people and organizations and how I can contribute to the better functioning of both. Connecting people with themselves so that they experience more happiness in their lives is my passion.

As a young professional I have experienced what it is like to function on autopilot, to work too much from my head and to push myself beyond my limits. 

This changed the moment I wondered why I had these patterns. By following various coaching programs, I started to understand myself and what I really wanted. It was an exciting journey of discovery. The biggest challenge for me was setting boundaries, empowering self-love and choosing what I really want. The most beautiful gift of this transformation process was more self-knowledge and love for myself and others. This really gave and gives me peace and confidence.

In my opinion I can learn something from everyone, everyone is like a mirror. I am the creator of my own life and I am convinced that with my own strength and with the right effort I can achieve everything that really suits me.

I would like to use my own work and life experience to guide professionals in their life choices, where they can use support (view the different themes here). A session or journey with me is often profound and surprising. In addition to my inner wisdom, I have the quality to intuitively feel and see energies. This accelerates the process of achieving goals faster. Getting to the core of the matter strengthens the process of awareness. This all makes me very excited. I truly believe in the law of attraction.

In recent years I have gained expertise in the field of change management, personal leadership, professional coaching, communication and organizational sciences. After completing various studies at Utrecht University, University of Oklahoma and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, I held various interim positions as a manager at ministries. I am also a certified NOBCO professional coach. In addition to my work, I was active in various networks for young professionals for many years as chairman and board member. To deepen my expertise in people and transformation, I followed various courses and trainings in the areas of Leadership, Conversational Techniques, Strategy, Time Management, Assertiveness, Healing, Meditation and Transformation Coaching (Bridgeman method online).
