Coaching at Zenn in the City is different. We don't just work with your head, but engage your entire system for lasting change.
There are moments in life when you know something needs to change, but you don't know exactly what or how. Or you do know, but you can't get there on your own. Coaching provides the support and mirror you need to move forward. At Zenn in the City in Rotterdam, we offer coaching that goes beyond conversation alone – we engage body, mind, and soul.
What Makes Our Coaching Different?
Most coaching focuses on thinking: we analyze problems, set goals, make plans. This is valuable, but often not enough. How many people know exactly what they "should" do, but still don't do it? Our subconscious, our emotions, our nervous system – they don't always follow the logic of our mind.
At Zenn in the City, we integrate:
Conversation and reflection
Of course we talk. We explore your situation, your patterns, your desires and obstacles. We ask questions that make you think and open new perspectives.
Bodywork
Your body knows things your mind doesn't know. By engaging the body, we gain access to deeper layers of wisdom and blockages that don't release through talking alone.
Breathwork
Breath is direct access to your nervous system and emotional state. We use breathwork to release tension, process emotions, and create clarity.
Mindfulness
Awareness is the foundation of change. Through mindfulness exercises, you learn to see your own patterns without being swept away by them.

The Coaching Journey
We work with individual journeys, tailored to your situation and needs.
Introduction
A first conversation (online or in person) to explore if there's a match. What brings you here? What do you hope to achieve? How could I help you?
Intake
A more extensive conversation mapping your situation. We discuss your background, current challenges, and what you want to achieve. This forms the foundation for the journey.
Sessions
Regular sessions (usually weekly or bi-weekly) working toward your goals. Each session combines conversation with experiential exercises – body, breath, mindfulness.
Integration
Between sessions, you work on what we've discussed. You get exercises, reflection questions, or practical assignments. Change doesn't just happen in the session, but especially in your daily life.
The Coaching Relationship
Coaching is not one-way traffic. It's a collaboration where I bring my expertise, experience, and intuition, and you bring your self-knowledge, willingness to explore, and commitment to change.
What you can expect from me:
- Genuine attention and presence
- Honest feedback and mirroring
- Challenge where needed
- Support and warmth
- Confidentiality and safety
What I ask of you:
- Openness and honesty
- Willingness to explore
- Commitment to the process
- Responsibility for your own growth
The Space
Coaching takes place in our serene practice space on Waterloostraat in Kralingen. The environment is carefully created to offer peace and safety – essential for deep work. Online sessions are also possible.
Starting with Coaching
If you're considering starting with coaching, I invite you to a no-obligation introductory conversation. This can be by phone or video call. Together we explore whether coaching at Zenn in the City fits what you're looking for.
Coaching is an investment in yourself. In your wellbeing, your growth, your future. It requires time, energy, and sometimes courage to face yourself. But the reward – more freedom, more authenticity, more life force – is more than worth it.
