Coaching
Holistic Coaching can help you find your Qi in both private and professional daily life. All too often we are conditioned to perpetually seek development, but goals are set outside of ourselves and/or the focus is on the output, on what’s rational or merely materialistic, and on conforming to societal norms.
No wonder we get burned out – we disconnect from our bodies, our soul and its unique values, and eventually the world around us. Development is Qi focuses on developing inner strength (Qi) and finding purpose, by creating more self- awareness and clarity. In becoming more effective and thriving as a professional or leader, we can set more relevant goals and achieve them. You hold the steering wheel of your uniquely tailored coaching journey.

Guido
I am a 43-year-old Dutchman, a father and husband, and a lot more. 2023 has brought exciting changes with our relocation to Bensafrim on the south coast of Portugal. We moved here because we wanted to spend more time outside in constant contact with nature and become more self-sufficient with a little less stress than in Northern Europe. We are finding our way in Portugal with the occasional struggles that arise, still excited to live in this country. I am a man who used to rely on his rational qualities but neglected or even was a bit afraid of his emotions, and was mostly disconnected from the body and soul. Even with a fairly successful career, I often struggled with the nagging feeling that I was not really “free” or being “my authentic self” with a stress level that was often too high and an (almost full) burnout as result. It took a couple of big losses and events in my life to accelerate my own development and self-actualization.
