Saskia, "The Courage Coach", knows how to lure you to your truth, the point of
no return, where deep change is based on deep trust and you welcome the leap
into a new life.
As a Transformational Life Coach, Saskia guides with compassion, humor, wisdom, and commitment at the level of the Soul. The most powerful tool she offers is the example she sets in her life through the revelation of her own stories. She empowers others to live from the heart, find the courage to follow their dreams, and live their life purpose.
Saskia found her passion for empowering others while teaching at the Rijksuniversiteit of Groningen, in The Netherlands, as a member of the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the Department of Experimental Psychology. She has extensively studied the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the superconscious mind and how our unhealed emotions effect our destiny. She holds certificates in Naturopathy, Transformational Healing, Master Training in Integrative Life Healing Coaching, Advanced Hypnotherapy, Past Life and Age Regression, Somatic Healing, Birthing and Fertility Therapy.
In 2001 Saskia, her husband, and their five young children took a daring leap of faith, sold their house in Holland, and gave up their thriving businesses to explore new possibilities in the United States. With little money, no job prospects, no contacts and five kids who didn’t speak a word of English, they landed in a small town by the sea. It was a challenge of a lifetime. Saskia, however, trusted they could reinvent their lives at that moment.
She has written a book, A Suitcase Full of Faith, about the grand adventure of that move and the example she set of trusting in the face of great challenges.
In 2007, Saskia was initiated into the 9th Rite, the Creator Rite, of the Munay Ki in the south central Andes of Peru. She also uses the powerful tools of the Law of Attraction and the Toltec Wisdom teachings of Miguel Ruiz as an integral part of her work.
Saskia’s clients live all over the world and come from all walks of life. She travels internationally, presenting seminars, conducting workshops and facilitating sessions for individuals.
