What is A Mindful Spot?
Located in The Hague (Den Haag), I offer at A Mindful Spot a place where you can deep dive into your thoughts, feelings, life situations, relationships, and any interaction with others to bring mindfulness to your behaviors and own contribution to whatever you are going through.
Finding a mindful spot within yourself can become an essential factor at a certain phase in your life to develop and lead a happier life. This can be personal or professional. The main contributor to your own happiness is, you.
At A Mindful Spot, I provide three offerings: Coaching, Mentorship, Mindfulness.
Who is A Mindful Spot for?
It is for you if you feel “stuck” in your relationship, job, or find yourself looking for purpose in your life. Bringing awareness to your desires, body and mind is essential to tap into your life purpose, what you truly desire. When you connect with your core, and you explore your self without fear of judgement, shame or failure, you can embrace your own power and tap into your life purpose.
It is for you if you become aware of certain patterns in your life that keep repeating itself and you find yourself in similar situations over and again without the right tools to change your behaviors towards them. With the power of coaching, you can tap into the underlying need for these patterns in a way to shed some light on it and ultimately letting go of this “need”.
It is for you, if you have already embarked on a personal development journey and want to explore how new people can bring you new perspective or newness in your experience on this journey. Every one of us as human beings contributes in our own way to each other, with or without our knowledge that we are doing so.
It is for you, if your family life is keeping you mentally, emotionally or physically busy. If “things” are making you edgy, burst at home, or cannot carve time for yourself or for your partner and/or kids, this is for you. You will check in with yourself how to do so, what do you need, and what is hindering you from doing so.
It is for you, if you are struggling at work. Maybe it is your colleague, or your manager, or maybe you don’t see how you can progress further in your career, you can with your power of mindfulness and bringing awareness to what you aspire for, your needs and wants tap into your own wisdom.
If is for you, if you want to get introduced to mindfulness in a safe environment and it is also for you if you want to deepen your mindfulness practice. You can set an intention, discuss your topic and let it go as you embrace a mindfulness session in peace and quite with some guidance within the boundaries of your topic.
Why A Mindful Spot?
Honestly? It isn’t one of my strengths to write about my “unique selling point”, but I can tell you that over the years, I have experience multitude of situations which have made me wonder the purpose behind behaving the way I do when I am at work, with friends, in a relationship and I disembarked on a journey of discovery for many years.
From my mid-twenties to my late thirties, I have picked up skills, techniques, and did studies in coaching and have spent some time with Zen Buddhist monks and nuns in Buddhist monasteries across Europe. I also discovered my interest to learning how the human mind works, what are patterns, how do we develop defense mechanisms and the reasoning behind it and ended up deep diving into Buddhist phycology too, thousands of years old knowledge about the human mind.
All this to say, I have multiple of tools in my toolbox to embark with you on this personal development journey if and when you choose to do so.
I am an expat. I have been an expat for over a decade. The expat experience has enriched my personal development in many ways that I can also bring into our sessions.
After almost fifteen years of embarking on this personal development journey, I am bringing my experience, knowledge and my whole being to be present for you, with whatever is there for you right now. Are you ready? : )
Offering
Coaching
During the personal coaching (1 on 1) sessions you work on questions, situations or circumstances that you bring to the sessions. Sometimes, these questions pop-up during the session and other times you prepare them ahead of time from a situation you are currently going through. Sometimes, there are some elements in your life that are keeping you from finding happiness, joy and comfort. You will tap into your own power and explore your strength and wisdom.
Mentoring
With mentoring, we work together on your question where we jointly investigate and figure out what is the best way to approach a situation or a psychological pattern or a behavior within yourself or others. With mentorship for both professional and personal, I share with you my experience or my take on your situation in a form of “If I were in this situation, I would…” and this is up to you to take it or leave it. On the mentorship page, you will see clearly the difference between mentorship and coaching techniques.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a powerful tool that is always at your disposal to explore within yourself your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and bring awareness to them. Mindfulness is also a way to bring your awareness to the present moment after a long day at work and wash away your day. I offer mindfulness sessions also as a tool to discover your own answers to your questions. When you are mindful, you are harnessing your power of concentration and when you do that, you tap into your inner wisdom and insights.
