Who is Alex ?
Shortly before turning 40, after more than two decades of studying and working hard and nearly 15 years of marriage, I realised that I didn't want to continue living like this. The more I gave, the emptier I felt. My family situation from the age of 6 until adulthood was unstable and, for the most part, very unsafe. No time for hobbies, almost no time for passions, and no time for my own dreams. It felt like a huge burden to realise more and more that the world I lived in did not match the reality I felt inside. I was missing a big part of myself. A piece of love that went unheard and for which there seemed to be no room. I only existed rationally in order to survive. Paying off debts, arranging alimony for my ex and solving other people's problems, especially at work where, despite all my success, I became “Head of” an organisation of 50 people, yet remained deeply unhappy. My body felt exhausted; my head was bursting with worries. I ended up in burnout. I was worn out, empty, and tired. My life stood still, and I didn't want to go on like this. This was the signal from my body and my soul that I had ignored for way too long! My life had to change. Inside, I felt so much more, and it hurt so much because I sensed, somewhere, that there had to be more. This wasn't it. This couldn't be it, could it?
Then, while searching for my inner truth, I came across a multi-day retreat. I took part in shamanic vision quests, which finally freed me from doing everything just for others. Slowly but surely, I stopped feeling drained. On the contrary! By doing the inner work for about two years, my outer reality completely changed. Since then, wonderful synchronicities have occurred in my work, and I met my current partner. With him, I dare to be completely myself, and together we form something even greater. I finally dare to be my loving self, knowing what my soul path is and why I am actually on earth – even with the occasional human outbursts or other "imperfections", which I can now appreciate more and more each day.
My vision of giving from a heart full of abundance
All my experiences have served as preparation, enabling me to create a safe space in which I guide others on how to truly take centre stage in their own lives. How they can feel, see, know and experience what it’s like to no longer feel drained by the fact that they simply give too much of themselves – for the wrong reasons. I wish for them with all my heart that they tap into their full intelligence: not just their rational mind, but also the intelligence of their body, emotions and, above all, their most essential self – their soul. And let me be clear: I stop at nothing to bring in more loving consciousness! Not even parallel or past lives, not other dimensional existence or any earthly topic. The answers are all there. It’s about asking the right questions – and then bringing it in or down to integration in daily human life. THAT is the ultimate "bridge between Heaven and Earth"!
And ultimately, I want to work with them towards being able to give from a full heart – to be able to feel their heart fully again at all. That they can experience where they can grow towards to. To bring back together what once went apart in order to survive.
If you knew me, you’d know...
- That I’m a very caring person; whether at home or elsewhere, I always make sure everyone has enough to eat. I think I get that from my grandmothers 🙂 And the difference between how I used to live and how I live now – being able to feel my heart, to open my heart... I can’t really put it into words. You have to experience it for yourself.
- A relaxing infusion in a small sauna is, for me, one of the quickest ways to unwind and drift off to beautiful scents and music. Luckily, I have a sauna master at home, so that’s very handy!
- Since my life path has taken such a huge turn, I can’t put down books about past lives and other forms of existence. Connecting the spiritual with daily life, truly bringing everything together – that’s what my heart beats for!
- I’m finally going dancing again! I’ve started and stopped far too often. What has changed, though, is the reason why I do it: purely for my own enjoyment. And this effect is truly a miracle for me. Salsa is still my absolute favourite, by the way, but the All-round Dance in IJsselstein at Dolstra – well, that’s a real treat.
- If I could, I’d live on nothing but biscuits and chocolate, fruit and nuts. My grandma always used to say: chocolate is for the nervous system – and it’s veggie, so… healthy!
- When it comes to colours, I’m right at the purple-pink-glitter end of the spectrum. That’s why we always say at home: “The glittery, the bettery!”
- I’m a semi-professional retired drag queen. I’ve always put my hospitality spirit to good use here too, hosting parties. I could actually have opened my coaching practice back then, given all the conversations that took place. Céline Delatour, the coach in glitter – nice to meet you!
Much love and light.
Alex
