Michaela & Jake
“We absolutely loved working with Anke. Her approach made us feel so safe to open up, be vulnerable and work through some really difficult things. Shes truly helped us finder a deeper connection, build stronger foundations of trust and discover and embed better ways to communicate honestly and compassionately with one another, even after being in a relationship for a number of years. We would 100% recommend working as a couple with Anke, whether you’re looking for some TLC for your relationship or are working through some much more challenging things!”

“Binnen de eerste sessie kwamen we al snel tot de kern van een van onze zo geheten loops, de dynamiek die tussen ons ontstond. EFT is simpel en ontzettend effectief. Anke is een ster in het tussen de regels door lezen en weet vakkundig hoe zij het onderliggende kan vertalen zodat wij als koppel elkaar beter begrijpen. Mijn dank gaat enorm diep voor de skills die Anke heeft ontwikkeld om ons zo kundig, persoonlijk en liefdevol te kunnen begeleiden door onze complexe situatie. Petje af, en een warme knuffel.”
Deborah & Ilja
“Anke helped us really shift the space we were holding for our relationship. We arrived, uncertain of our future, and after 8 sessions we had worked through our blockages, opened up new ways of being together and communication is better than ever. Anke held a loving space, laughed and cried and celebrated with us. She created an environment where we could talk and listen more openly and compassionately. She enriched our perspectives on our relationship dynamics and how both of us can contribute to changing them to the better.”
Dottie & Denzel
“At the beginning of our sessions, our goal was to embrace our past selves and develop new communication skills. With Anke’s guidance, we made noticeable progress each session. Anke is exceptionally kind and professional. She asks profound and thought-provoking questions, gently addressing past traumas and making us both feel truly seen and understood. With our new understanding of each other and improved communication skills, we feel much better and are comfortable taking the next steps in our journey together and in our daily lives.”
Puck & Wouter
“Wij kwamen bij Anke toen we op het laagste punt in onze relatie zaten. Jarenlang aan elkaar aanpassen heeft voor een groot aantal blokkades gezorgd. Anke bood ons een veilige en warme plek om de emoties achter deze blokkades te verkennen om elkaar weer te begrijpen. Anke heeft ons op een zachte wijze geholpen om pijn en weerstand om te zetten naar echte communicatie en begrip. Inmiddels zijn we een half jaar verder en gebruiken we nog steeds de tools die Anke ons heeft geboden. Bedankt Anke!”
Life Coaching

“Anke is SO worth it. I worked with Anke as my coach for a period of six months and felt it was truly worthwhile and amazingly helpful both in my work and personal life. From the moment I had my free ‘Intake’ meeting I felt an enormous amount of trust in Anke’s skills and abilities. I actually had a pretty big resistance to ‘getting in to the work’ – Anke held space for me even when I was ‘kicking and screaming’ against the process – and it really paid off. I got new insights into my own workings and managed to come through a few pretty critical issues at work and at home that were major blockages for me. I highly recommend Anke – authenticity, integrity, compassion – and a breadth and depth of skill and insight.”

Being coached by Anke was one of the best gifts to myself. Due to Anke’s warm, positive and open personality we connected instantly, which established a wonderful trustful environment to speak my mind and explore the meaning of my thoughts and choices in a revealing but fun way. I remember arriving in an overly energetic, almost hyper state, completely in my head and no idea what to talk about. In no time she helped me to land and get in touch with my deeper feelings and essence. While we touched on many different topics from relationships to work, I am still amazed how Anke guided me with her sharp questions towards finding answers and understanding myself, all by tapping into who I really am. This is such a profound skill to teach which will not only help you during coaching, but in the rest of your life. Therefore I sincerely recommend Anke to anybody who wants to grow, even if you may not even realize something is off. Together you go on an inspiring journey that gives you insights, skills and strength for life.

“I can seriously vouch for Anke’s coaching!
I had a private session with her and she went straight for the “issue” WAY beneath the issue, in about four questions! One of Anke’s gifts is to feel into, and care for, a very deep level of blockage… the snakes in the ‘human system’ that will stop any strategy – no matter how shiny – from truly working.
I believe she will take you to a place that 90% of “entrepreneurial coaches” have no idea how to get to…”
RobAnke’s heart, sense of play in the moment and genuine curiosity about getting my world allowed me to see and work with parts of myself that had not been obvious to me. I felt seen, encouraged and gently challenged to explore more of myself than I was able to on my own. Thanks to this intimate connection with Anke as a coach, I have made huge steps towards engaging more fully with my passion in my work, which had been my desire at the start of our process.”

“Working with Anke was absolutely terrific. She is very sharp, compassionate and, very importantly, fun and light to work with. I loved how there was also space for my big questions and emotions, and not only goals and how I am going to get there. I feel I’ve greatly expanded my ability to sit with my own truth, identify my needs and how to meet them, and how to relate with others, especially those I love most, from a truthful and honoring place. I feel my relationships are stronger and my sense of direction more acute. And I love how I’ve learned how to stop unproductive processes and interactions and to redirect them, on the spot, versus going through “what I should have done”, after the situation has passed. All in all, a great investment of time, energy and resources. What a privilege to be accompanied by Anke on my development!”

“Anke, in her own words, is a “connection nerd”, which accurately shows how much she’s devoted in helping people to connect with themselves, their significant others and their life purpose. She has a repertoire of skills and tools, and more impressively, within a short conversation, she already knows what works best for you. She sees your unstoppable potentials behind your struggles. Anke also excels in finding the sweet spot between empathically accepting where you are at and nudging you towards the transformation that benefits you more. Even to date, her words are still inspiring to me.”
Inge
“Anke is not a standard coach. She is empathic, compassionate and really sharp. She has a way of finding the essence of your story and mirror it back to you in a clear and compassionate way, without judgement. This does not mean she approaches you with velvet gloves either. She helps you to see some of your blind spots and encourages you to face them, step and look further and most importantly to get the best out of yourself. Anke is a coach with a big heart and a sharp mind, who is also willing to bring herself into the process. I highly recommend her without doubt!”
Irina
“Working with Anke has been amazing and revealing. She was able to take me to the core of the problems and hold me there gently until I could acknowledge them, accept them and start working with them. Through working with her I took an extra step into acknowledging the emotions in me and learned to stay with them without fear.
She saw parts of me I wasn’t aware were there, recognised gifts in me and put into words sides of me, emotions I couldn’t express yet. She helped me ground myself more easily, more often and more through my body. Our work together covered many fields – personal relationships, work, self-worth and the relationship with my body. In each one of them I took a leap and changed mind-sets, learned to accept myself easier and more and to connect better and more easily with the people around me.
Anke helped me show up more into the world, accepting and owning my power, without fearing “am I too little?”, “am I too much?”.
She has an amazing way of connecting with me, even through Skype I felt met, seen and beautifully contained.”

“Being coached by Anke was a treat. She is professional, warm, clear and goofy (thank god!). She brings herself to every interaction, always connected to me and the moment. All this in obvious service of truth and growth. I felt seen, supported and enriched.”
Diana
“Anke creates a safe space to grow, a place of trust, fun, positivity and vulnerability. I love the way humour has a place in her work and how she puts creativity into her sessions. However, she is also not afraid to confront and mirror you. A truly wise woman with a contagious zest for life! Thank you Anke for the words you gave me, they helped me reflect. Thanks for your trust, it helped me grow. Thanks for the fun, I always looked forward to every session with you. Thank you for asking the right questions, they helped me connect to myself and root a bunch deeper. And thanks for walking along with me for a bit on a courageous path, it was awesome with you alongside of me. ”
