About Marije
An explorer of life would best describe me. I have always been searching for a deeper truth behind my experiences in this lifetime and the reason why I am here. That journey hasn’t always been easy and is still ongoing, but has gradually brought me closer to a sense of alignment with myself; to be able to express myself more authentically and vulnerably, rather than through all the filters of internal distortion and conditioning. This means that I like to ‘keep things real’ and am know for my down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach to life.
​
Exploring naturally comes with a passion for traveling and indulging in different cultures. I have lived abroad for many years and meanwhile feel like a citizen of this world, most at home within the diversity of different cultures. Africa holds a special place in my heart, particularly the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’, Malawi, where I am living at the moment. Other than traveling and indulging in other cultures, I am passionate about cooking, dancing, meditation, trees, spending time in nature and anything else that makes my heart sing.
​
Unraveling my own authentic self is a continuous work in progress and I never stop learning. Drawing upon my personal experiences and trainings, I am available as a coach, astrologer and/or inner growth facilitator to hold a space for others to explore who they really are, by unraveling blockages that disrupt their natural flow of being.
