About me

Hai, I am Xandra. Certified coach in Rotterdam, online and surrounding Rotterdam.

I am an open, sensitive and engaged coach with a background in life coaching, high sensitivity (HSP) and secondary education. As NOBCO Coach I specialized in perfectionism coachingHSP coaching and stress and burn-out coaching. My coaching style can be described as empathetic, attentive, reflective and incisive.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved drawing trees. Always the same, but slightly different. As a child of repeatedly divorced parents, 8 moves, 5 elementary schools and 3 high schools, I didn't get a lot of roots from home. Over the years, without being aware of it, this tree grew more and more leaves and roots. Like myself... 

Thanks to these roots, both the tree and I can better absorb nourishment and I have learned what nourishes me. Like seeking nature, personal development and social contact. Both the tree and I have blossomed much more. In addition, being firmly rooted allows me to weather storms better. 

For a long time I did not dare to follow my passion, coaching and psychology. I walked a path of expectations that was socially responsible, but not of myself. Gradually, however, I started to follow my heart and feelings more and more. The road to this was not easy at all, but through my growth and becoming more rooted, I have gained more awareness and I now follow my own path. 

I see it as my mission to support others in their process of becoming more rooted and flourishing, both at work and at home. As a specialist, I help you deal with your perfectionism, high sensitivity, overcoming your burn-out and moving towards less stress, so that you finally get lasting peace of mind and have success and fulfilment at work and at home!

Experiences

The conversations with Xandra were very helpful to me. Through the exercises I managed to get some rest and at the same time put my shoulders to the wheel to achieve my goals. It feels so good to make steps and to see progress. I can breathe again. Thanks a lot!

Bjorn la Tulippe, Style Director

Xandra is open, sincere and enthusiastic. This immediately created a safe environment where I felt I could say anything. Xandra feels well when you are in your head and with exercises she brought me back to rest and get back into the feeling. Thank you, Xandra, for your energy, passion for coaching, openness and honesty!

Felix Tan, business controller

With a course of action that was specially tailored to my situation, Xandra gave me the right tools to get out of a burn-out. With her help and perseverance I was able to find the energy to participate fully in life again.

Ivo Beek, data architect and entrepreneur

Coaching with Xandra I experienced as a clarification and relief. Xandra took the time and energy to achieve the desired result. The combination of face-to-face and online proved to be very pleasant. Because of the program I dare to express myself more, to take time for myself, I can deal with feelings more easily, give things a better place and get the rest I need.

Robin, Set Designer

When I entered the process with Xandra, I had been at home for some time due to burnout.

The course was tough, but it is very nice to see progression. Xandra's approach is very personal. Together we investigated at a deeper layer and did more than just look at the symptoms. The sessions were both physical and online and I have not noticed any difference between them.

I know better what I like and live more according to my values. I listen to my feelings and body and can make choices more easily. I got off the express train and live more consciously. I can enjoy again and would definitely recommend coaching by Xandra!

Christine, Journalist

Through the coaching, I gained insight into the causes of my energy deficits, know my pitfalls and patterns, and got tools to deal with them. I have much more energy and can tick off my to-do list again.

Thanks to the Voice Dialogue sessions with Xandra, I recognize my "selves" and consciously give them space or not. My biggest eye-opener is that I am a big pleaser. Because of the coaching I can say 'no' more easily and guard my boundaries. As a result I experience more peace, both privately and at work.

The coaching has helped me super much and I am very happy about that. Xandra, thank you for all the help!
