Life & Professional Coaching

"Entering our coaching relationship, I hoped it would help me to learn more about myself and support me in the process of finding a new direction, goal, or drive that would make me feel more connected to my life again. My biggest coaching insight was exploring my core values. Having more awareness about my values helped me to understand myself a lot better but also enabled me to make decisions that feel more connected to the kind of person I want to be. I learned to identify things that really matter to me and excite me while listening closely to my own needs and desires in this process.

 During the whole experience, I felt that my needs were always at the center of attention and I deeply appreciated Raquel's strong commitment to supporting me in the best way possible during the journey. If you are open to trusting the process, she has a unique way of guiding you through the coaching experience, gently pushing you to explore new and sometimes unusual ways which help you to develop further. Reflecting on my coaching expectations, I really regained a feeling of direction and also my drive during the last couple of months. I am eager to work further on things and challenges that I identified together with Raquel, as I see the value that they already brought and can further bring to my life".

“I recommend Raquel 100%! My experience working with Raquel has been very revealing. It's helping me connect deeply to my emotions, face my fears and focus on the important things in my life. Because of Raquel's patience, tact and professionalism, I don't feel judged during the sessions. Instead, I feel listened to and guided. In this safe space, I am discovering that many of the obstacles in my professional and personal life are the result of my fears and insecurities. I am learning to focus on what I really want, go step by step, celebrate the small achievements, and appreciate all the good things I have in life.”

— Patricia, (The Netherlands)

“I entered the coaching session expecting it to revolve around common ideals of personal growth and to not be much different from many other coaching practices that encourage you to pursue your dreams at all costs. Yet, this one was different. Raquel guided me into a conversation about my approach to life while nudging me to become in tune with my body. She made me realize how our body holds part of the answer to our questions, if only we dare to create space for it and listen: nothing metaphysical, rather a new way of relating with ourselves and our challenges. The session with Raquel led me to realize how my inner thoughts reflect on my emotional and physical nature and how listening with the body can unblock pathways towards overcoming self-limiting beliefs and perspectives. I would highly recommend Raquel's coaching to anyone who spends too much time in their mind, and to those seeking a little help in shifting towards reconnecting with their emotional core while aiming to their ambitious self.”

— Francesco, (The US)

“The coaching session with Raquel was very special and transformative. Compared to other coaching experiences, Raquel focuses on creating harmony of mind and body. We were able to get away from the head focus, from thinking and unthinking to finding answers - to an almost spiritual harmony of body and mind which reveal your inner needs. Raquel's approach brings answers to diffuse feelings that don't come out through the hectic and superficial everyday life. Thereby, she managed to connected me with my inner resources. I was very touched by the intense feelings in my gut, heart and crown that were already inside me and could provide answers through Raquel bringing them up. I went into the coaching with an open mind, not hoping to get any concrete clues in the first session. However, in the first session, I became aware of what is currently important for me and what I should focus on. Raquel manages to lead you to "Next Steps" at the end of the session so that you have something to work on directly. Besides that, Raquel's way is very empathetic and comfortable, I felt very taken care of and safe from the beginning. I recommend Raquel's coaching to anyone who is in a phase marked by ambiguity or who wants to re-establish contact with their inner voice - whether professional or private, as the two components can also influence each other. Thank you Raquel, for the inspiring coaching session!”

“When I started coaching my hope was to gain self-clarity. During the coaching sessions, I visualized and verbalized both my fears and my dreams. All possibilities and answers seemed to line up and became available for me to grab. Maybe they were already there but I was not aware of it. But the coaching experience opened me up to the possibilities ahead. The biggest insight for me was to learn to TRUST myself more than others and now I feel confident about my path as a result. If you have never been coached before and are considering it, Raquel is your person. She is kind and gives you the safe space you need to be with your emotions. She also challenges your way of thinking in the most compassionate way. I do believe coaching is for everyone and it is the BEST investment for yourself. You can keep going on with your current state, but through coaching you will discover more POWER in you that you have never realized before. The discovery is powerful and man..I wish I had done it earlier.”

— Olivia, (The Netherlands)

“Recent opnieuw een hele goede en waardevolle ervaring gehad in een coaching sessie met Raquel! Ik ben afgelopen jaren verschillende malen door haar gecoacht en het heeft altijd een positief effect: meer duidelijkheid en rust in mijn hoofd en lijf en tegelijkertijd positieve energie om de nodige verandering in gang te zetten! Raquel is iemand die heel makkelijk aansluiting vindt bij de persoon tegenover haar, ongeacht je achtergrond of het soort vragen waarmee je zit, ze vindt altijd een manier om op jouw golflengte te komen en je vooruit te helpen. Ik kan haar van harte aanbevelen als coach!”

— Inge, (The Netherlands)

 "The sessions with Raquel helped me explore something deep inside of me. It was an important step for me to realise that it's there so now I can work with it. Thank you very much for your help Raquel!"

— Zoltán, (Slovakia)

“Raquel's coaching style really works for me. She pays attention to wording and body language then uses that information to ask the deeper questions and employ powerful visualisations to take us beyond our habitual/patterned ways of dealing with obstacles. I found the fact that Raquel's starting point is compassion for self and the coaching can at times be body based. It really anchored new possibilities for self-care, empowerment or creativity in my body."

Workshops with groups and teams

 

“What impacted me the most about this workshop was to be able to grasp and feel self-love. Raquel was very clear and receptive. I love the way she engaged with the participants and created a safe space to share.”

— Stephanie, The Netherlands

“I got to know the 'fears' that my inner critic is feeding into, in a soft manner. Raquel has a calmness and strength around her that creates a safe environment on the one hand, but also some sort of legitimacy and professionality to what she is doing.”

— Marjolijn, The Netherlands

“It was impactful that we ended up opening ourselves up. Was an intense and powerful experience.”

— Francis, The UK

“I didn't expect to tune in with my body in such a short amount of time and while being surrounded by others, it made me notice how much of a difference that can make in your day”
