Anouk’s Clarity Nook is a positive, curious, and judgement-free coaching experience for high-potential individuals in any moment of their lives to become aware of their mindsets and habits, and to find out how to live in closest alignment with their strengths and desires. It is also a practical space designed to regulate the nervous system and instill health-giving habits.

My coaching approach is rooted in behavioral psychology, neuroscience, intuitive listening, habit change, and healthy lifestyle design. Rigorously trained through the Health Coach Institute, I completed an intensive program accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) that led me to become a double-certified Life Coach and Health & Wellness Coach.

Through one-on-one coaching, I invite curious souls on a journey of self-discovery. With my support and accountability, you will find yourself taking actionable steps towards feeling your best self and working towards your purpose with healthy body and healthy mind.

Coaching takes you past your stopping points. When you are up to something new or important, your brain will will scan for danger and swing back and forth from worry to doubt and back to worry again. In coaching we use a Buddhist term to describe this aspect of the brain, Monkey mind, or in sciency terms, Negativity Bias. Coaching helps you get beyond the mental chatter that is giving you reasons to stop moving forward with your desires and having what you want in life.

Hello, friend! I’m glad you found me.

I am a French-Dutch citizen currently living in beautiful Madrid, Spain. I have a decade of working experience in the social impact sector, leading ambitious teams within reputable public and non-profit institutions.

My twenties were heavily centered around my career, achieving professional goals, making meaningful connections, and traveling to new and faraway places. When I turned 30, which happened to be right around the time of my wedding, I experienced burnout. I felt depleted, sad, ‘out of my body’ – something had to change. I had been putting in more than I could realistically handle, and my nervous system was in overdrive.

Work and especially being ‘productive’ at work defined my value, and put past trauma experience far, far in the rearview mirror (or so I thought).

Today, I am so thankful to mentor young professionals and coach high-achieving individuals at crucial moments in their lives to become more aware of their physical and mental health, mindsets, and habits, express gratitude and live harmoniously with the different areas of life. We sometimes forget that as people we are free adults, and the many distractions and preconceptions about life, success, and happiness can be so overwhelming that we lose the picture of who we are and what success and happiness means to us, personally.

My personal story and my constant dedication to feeling my best and supporting others in their journey is why I’m so committed to my coaching practice.
