Inner empowerment coaching

Live life with increased well-being, fulfilment, supportive relationships & impact

FOR CONSCIOUS INDIVIDUALS WHO WANT TO OVERCOME THEIR CHALLENGES (STUCKNESS, BURN OUT, emotional pain, ANXIETY, LACK OF FOCUS,...) AND stop living on the surface...

Are you ready to move through stuckness and feel a burning passion for life again?

When you are going through a difficult time and feel confused it isn’t easy to have strong faith into a brighter future. To find clarity about how to move forward it is important to pause, and connect with yourself on a deeper level.

This means that you are taking ownership to be your own leader and live a free life out of the heart – not out of the head. Truly anyone has the power within to do so:)!

Alja is an incredible coach that has helped me change my entire outlook on life. After years of battling depression and going through several psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists, and life coaches, Alja is the only person who has helped to arrive to a place where I truly love and accept myself. She has a unique ability to quickly form a deep connection with you, then use the connection to challenge your existing mindset and habits. Instead of giving you “tools” to use, she guides you to come to an understanding of your own problems and why they exist. it is with this powerful knowledge that Alja gives you the foundation to build yourself from. She then assists you in creating actions and habits to achieve what you want to achieve. Alja is by your side throughout the journey, showing you where you are now, where you want to be, and providing you with coaching and guidance that will make it happen. I now live for every day since my first session with Alja.

“Within the first minutes of being coached by Alja I was convinced of her sincerity and compassion. She has the ability to make you feel completely at ease and allows you to relax, be open, and explore your truth. Her insights and wisdom were a welcome challenge to my long-held beliefs. I am a better person for having met Alja and I would encourage you to talk to her today.”

Put yourself first, stop people-pleasing, and make a plan to increase fulfillment in all areas of life...

Don’t allow the fear of change, rejection & failure stopping you from building a purpose-driven lifestyle. Nor let procrastination get the best of you.

And yes, reading personal development books and attending random yoga sessions is great for putting you in touch with your authentic self. But without making the necessary lifestyle changes, you will continue to live out of the alignment with who you truly are.

From working with Alja I can say that Alja is a very intuitive and helpful coach that goes above and beyond to help her clients, and helps them realise the best versions of themselves. Alja is very skillful at a myriad of different coaching techniques and draws on this rich toolbox to help clients reach a breakthrough. Alja has a unique talent of holding space for her clients, and carefully and intuitively guiding them to find their own answers to the challenges they face at the time. She guides you to go deeper and really address the underlying cause of each problem. From working with Alja, it's really clear that she cares about each one of her clients. She really sees, honours, and empowers you as an individual. She is an incredibly talented coach and anyone lucky enough to work with her can expect great results.

I feel very grateful to have Alja as a coach– she is friendly, approachable, non-judgemental and a great listener. I thoroughly look forward to my sessions with Alja – she has a great energy and calmness that always leaves me feeling more prepared to take on whatever challenge I am facing. Although we only commit to one and a half hour sessions every few weeks, she always goes above and beyond that. She checks in on me regularly, and I feel I can message her outside of our scheduled hours. She gives proactive solutions through guidance, meditations or exercises that are suitable to my current situation. With Alja, you feel you have gained a friend as well as a coach

Do comprehensive inner work and integrate it into your every-day reality through action-taking!

To start standing fully in your worth means doing the hard stuff: breaking through the resistance towards change, following through in daily habits to maintain high self-awareness, setting boundaries to stop getting drained, and making changes to the non-functional situations in order to reach your dreams.

Alja has had a big influence in all aspects of my life. Most noticeably, she has helped me to gain better perspective on what is important to me both on a career and personal level. Following on from this, Alja and I have worked together to re-evaluate how I define success and I am no longer bench-marking myself against others but instead setting goals based on the values that are important to me. This, in turn, has led me to re-evaluate how I currently spend my time/energy and the end result is I now in a happier place both on a work and personal basis. Alja has also helped me improve my self-awareness, which has helped me to become more impactful on both a professional and personal level. And following on from this, Alja has been a fantastic mentor on a relationship front. In conclusion, she has guided me through a number of tricky situations and given me some fantastic tools to better handle certain/people situations in the future.

Josh Taylor, TraderAmsterdam, The Netherlands

Coaching with Alja has been trustful, fun, exciting and, I must say, challenging! She reflects and asks about the why in your life, which is sometimes difficult, but at the same time wonderful because I believe that we grow best if we reflect truthfully and are being honest to ourselves. Her thorough methods were very helpful to reveal where my potential areas of growth lie to become a more fully realized self. Many, often unconscious, thought processes and beliefs drive our actions. Some of these thoughts are negative and impact our self-worth in negative ways. Alja helped me uncover some of these patterns and challenged them to help me to see it from a different perspective. Thanks, Alja, for being such a reflective, good listener and thought-challenger to help me live my fullest life.

Commit to 8-week INNER EMPOWERMENT program designed to help you step into your power, unlocking your full potential.

Balanced well-being (spiritual, emotional, mental & physical), unconditional self-worth, compassionate relationships and purpose-driven lifestyle don’t just miraculously happen.

The winning formula is first admitting to yourself where you are at and then holding yourself accountable to complete your holistic transformation. From increasing your physical strength, mental health and spiritual awareness, to fearless action-taking in personal and career life.

Being guided forward by an experienced coach who holds space for you unconditionally makes it so much nicer and quicker.

INNER EMPOWERMENT IS A STATE OF BEING, WHERE THE 3 CORE SELF-LEADERSHIP QUALITIES ARE ACTIVATED

1. BALANCED WELL-BEING

Balancing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health is what unlocks your full potential. This means being present in the now (rather than stuck in the past or future) and feeling truly alive (rather than depressed, resentful or judgemental).

2. UNCONDITIONAL SELF-WORTH

Self-worth is a state of being where you feel amazing just the way you are. The way this shows is that you put yourself first (rather than people-pleasing), build genuine relationships (rather than making yourself or others small), and contribute (rather than not giving when you actually have the capacity).

3. VISIONARY ACTION-TAKING

Setting goals aligned with your core values (rather than following authority) and acting towards your purpose-driven dreams (rather than neglecting them) is what creates lasting personal fulfillment, and inspires others to be their own leaders too.

6 STEP PROCESS OF WORKING TOGETHER

1. FREE DISOCVERY CALL

This is where you can tell me more about yourself, about where you are at, and about where you’d like to be after working together. I’d like to understand your life situation to assess if I am the right coach for you.

2. COACHING AGREEMENT

If you decide to work with me, I will send you a coaching agreement to sign, and an invoice to pay via e-mail. As soon as I receive both, we are officially ‘a coach’ and ‘a client’ for the reminder of the program.

3. PLANNING SESSIONS

Before our first session begins it is important to agree on the dates, times & location of our sessions. It is recommended to do it weekly at the same time, however +1/2 days of variation is okay.

4. COACHING SESSIONS

Come fully prepared into the session. This means create mental space, be in a private room (if online), have the technology ready to support you (lap top if online), a notebook, and a pen.

5. IN-BETWEEN COACHING

If you have any questions, or need support in between the sessions, you can reach out to me via e-mail or whats-app. I will respond to you as soon as I will be able to, given my other obligations.

6. FEEDBACK

After our last session, our work together is complete. This is the time for you to voice any unmet needs, and to give me feedback to further improve my service. I will also ask you for a public testimonial (optional).
