Real feedback from real people
Loes is my own personal coach at this time, and what can I say, she’s at the top of my list. She’s someone I admire and love deeply and who has helped me in some of my darkest and most confusing times. She has consistently shown up for me in a way that I haven’t had the experience anyone ever showing up for me. I deem myself highly privileged to have the chance to sit down with her regularly and discuss life and its ups and downs.

Early this year I had to make some big decisions in my career, and I was feeling very lost and stressed with the uncertainty of not knowing what came after. I started talking to Loes and very quickly gained immense insights on how to approach things differently. I learnt some things about myself that I now use daily. Results aren’t immediate, but in my case they came extremely fast. I explored, I traveled, I allowed myself to do things differently, and in four months I redirected my career into starting an amazing new company, got into YCombinator and three months later closed a Seed Round. The ROI (return on investment) of my relationship with Loes has been infinite.

Loes’s coaching sessions have had a terrific effect on me. In addition to creating new habits and ideas, the biggest change (that I think will stand the test of time) is the change in my mentality. Loes’s ability to listen and actively ask the right questions has helped me accelerate my inner thinking and transform into a better and more conscious me. Thank you Loes for helping me achieve a way of being that would have taken me years to get without your help.

Want to get clarity? Find your connection to the world and get focused? Loes spoke to me for maybe an hour and got me on a path to purpose, meaning and connection. I endorse her and may she free more people.

I started working with Loes without really knowing what to expect, but looking back, this journey has been one of the most meaningful and powerful experiences I’ve had in a long time, so much so that it almost felt sad to see it end.
Over the past months, Loes created a space that felt consistently safe, honest, and thought-provoking. With her guidance, I reconnected with my strengths, rebuilt my confidence, and made bold decisions with clarity and intention. She helped me navigate uncertainty, shift perspectives, and find joy in the unknown.
I’m incredibly grateful for her empathy, and for every challenging (and sometimes uncomfortable!) question she asked along the way. Working with her has made a real difference not just in my professional life, but in how I relate to myself, and to others.

Loes went the extra mile while working - and walking - with me. We had four memorable outdoor sessions between Nov 2022 and Jan 2023 and they were an uncommon - and unexpected - combination: of both (deep and challenging) plus (playful and fun).
That I remember them so well eight months on (and I have a poor memory) is perhaps a sign of Loes’ potency and presence: we worked on stuff that I must have wanted to carry with me - some good stuff that I must have wanted to remember maybe - at a deeper level.
I’m 64 years old, and I have enjoyed working with some of the best coaches, mentors, therapists and healers around. And my inner cynic can easily sabotage myself from getting any real change, breakthroughs, transformations or benefit. (Mmmm… yes… I know.)
But I believe Loes helped me lift the lid on even that old story itself.
Since our sessions together I have been kinder to myself, just as Loes was kind to me. Gentle, but with warrior consciousness; allowing me to enjoy my own regeneration without mistaking it for resignation from the struggles. Thank you Loes.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Loes both as a colleague and as a coach for the last few years, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
As a colleague, we explored together coaching and nature. And, as a coach, she applied these things in our sessions.
Loes is a very experienced and professional coach. In our sessions, Loes held wonderfully the space for me through our audio outdoor walking sessions. This provided me a refreshing perspective on the challenges I brought to our sessions, as well as allowing me to tap into creativity I hadn’t accessed before.
Moreover, Loes’s calm and positive energy helped me feel very safe to explore some of the challenging thought-provoking questions we had in our sessions, encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and helping me successfully to move forward with my project.
If you’re looking for a coach who can inspire, challenge, and support you on your journey - who, on top of that, believes in nature, the environment and regeneration - I strongly recommend her. Thank you again Loes, for all your invaluable support.

I first met Loes in a climate change setting, and when we caught up a year later I soon realized she would have tremendous value to give in many of the areas I was insecure in or stumbling at. Starting a new adventure as a podcaster, I was trying to find my voice and confidence. I was also trying to figure out why I had a fear of speaking up in some settings, and on top of that I struggled to get a sustainable income stream going.
Being very involved in projects related to sustainability and climate change, I often find myself struggling to focus and probably in danger of burning out since everything is so important… In the long run, this is everything but sustainable, and Loes really helped me see that.
The first thing I worked on with Loes was getting clear on my strengths and it is just fantastic to look at those strengths today and see how aligned they are with what I will be spending my time working on going forward. In the last six months, I have launched my podcast and finished season 1, I have become much braver and more confident about what I stand for, and I’m embarking on a new and exciting journey as co-founder and CEO of the company of my dreams.
Going into a long coaching program was a leap for me, but looking back I almost don’t dare to think of where I would have been now if I hadn’t jumped. After each coaching session, I have discovered something new about myself or the world around me, and I am amazed about all the things I didn’t know I didn’t know. I now consider Loes as a dear friend and am certain we will be working more together in the future.

I first got in touch with Loes because I struggled with confidence, especially in a work context. I was a 30 year old woman who felt very lost — I was looking to move forward in my career, but wasn’t too sure where to start or what I could do.
The first big learning from my time with Loes is that there isn’t ‘work’ confidence and ‘home’ confidence. This journey was about building up confidence in myself, which would then be evident in any situation. We had many conversations that were hard to have, but that needed to be had. It probably sounds a little odd, but it almost felt like after each session I could feel myself grow!
Loes is one of the kindest people I have met (well, virtually!): warm, funny, empathic, yet knows what she is talking about and is so knowledgeable. I look back on my time working with Loes so fondly, not only because we had a great time, but because I can see and feel the difference in myself. My personal and work life have really improved, not just internally, but managers and peers noticed a difference in me too. I still use the techniques I learnt.
Loes has a special way of being challenging yet supportive, I cannot recommend working with her enough. For anyone who is considering working with her, I would say go for it! Throw yourself into it and be open and honest. If you gain half as much as I did, you will not regret it. My time with Loes was invaluable to me — in some ways I didn’t quite realise how much I needed our sessions until looking back.
Kate Ross | Business and Programme Manager
Loes’ coaching taught me how to develop crucial leadership skills through self knowledge. She helped me gain clarity on what my strengths are and how to leverage them, both at work and in my personal life.
Her amazing ability to simply listen and truly understand my needs and wants, combined with centering and mindfulness practices I learned from her, created the perfect trusting environment to work on my vulnerability and my decision making processes, and get clearer on my challenges. Most importantly, Loes guided me in asking myself just the right questions to move forward.
She brings to mind the famous quote: “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.” - Lao Tzu
Gisela Andrade | Design Thinker and Communications Specialist
Loes is a talented coach, a curious researcher, a very empathetic human being.
Her commitment for her profession is reflected in the warmth she brings to the table any time she has a chance to. Loes is not only an attentive listener: she deeply values relations and human intelligence. For this reason she always makes herself available to share knowledge that will allow you to raise the most relevant questions for your own development.
Also, Loes is truly dedicated to environmental change, and this makes her commitment to coaching for leaders even more admirable.
