My name is Gea,
which means God of the Earth. And I am pretty down to earth. I was born and raised in the Netherlands and have loved living on the Island of Aruba for the past 33 years. I have also been married with my hubby for 33 years. I am a mom to an amazing and precious daughter. She is the greatest gift in my life.
I am passionate about helping people live a life they fully enjoy. A life where they have the freedom to live their dream, use their talents and courageously share them with the world. I help others create a meaningful life for themselves.
Albert Einstein said: “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” I like to say “Look deep into YOUR nature, and then you will understand yourself better.”
Like the ocean with all its beautiful turquoise colors and hidden nature, my water travels the world, refreshing and waking others up. In silence, I show you the miracle of flying fishes and crystal clear water. In the deep, you find the mysteries of the underwater world.
I like to wake up people first with gentle waves, refreshing them; showing that there are options in life. But with big waves I’ll get you soaking wet, totally awake!
I’d like to tell you: Wake up! See the beauty around you; you are part of it, too!
As a coach, I help you go to your own silent, deep, and beautiful parts, where it is easy to spot what you want in your life. Maybe it is more friends, time, play, money or meaning. Or less stress, anger and frustration. Knowing what you want in your life, is the first step to freedom and I gladly will help you take the steps to get it.
- I help you identify and overcome obstacles that stop you from living your right life.
- I help you discover your talents and dreams.
- I help you find the freedom and courage to bring your talents into the world.
Why?
Because bringing your unique talents into the world gives your life meaning. What if the sun were to say, “I don’t want to shine anymore?” It is not a choice for the sun, but humans often do make the choice not to shine.
You do have the choice to share your unique talents with the world. This includes the talent of being happy. You sharing your talents, wisdom and happiness with your world, makes a difference and inspires others.
You will be able to tap into your own inner wisdom and start knowing what is valuable to you, discover your talents and start dreaming again about your best life. You will be free like a bird, sharing your talents and dreams with the world.
My Story
As a parent, ex-workaholic, wife and friend, I know what happens when work seems to be the most important thing in the whole wide world. From my childhood I learned that working is healthy. Nobody gets hurt working hard. So I worked hard.
But working hard became an unhealthy pattern when I longed for a second child and I didn’t get pregnant. This had a huge negative effect on my marriage and family life. So working every odd hour became my medicine for not having to feel lonely and sad.
My breaking point came when I realized I didn’t know how to enjoy myself anymore, did not care about meeting friends, but most of all didn’t hear my daughter anymore when she would say: Mamma, you are beautiful.
I was totally checked out, not at all present.
I am passionate about sharing with you what I have learned about how to live a life with more joy. I offer a safe space for you to open up, walk with you in nature to release stress, and inspire you to discover what you love to do when work is actually play for you and when giving and receiving are in balance. I am a bubble of ideas and you will soon be too. Let’s start bubbling and find the things you love to do.
