Want to break through something that keeps coming back in your mind? Life looks great, but inside you feel stuck?

Experience

In-house coach for organisations

The climate for organisations changes fast. Humans don’t (always).

A flexible layer in your organisation to keep your organisation humanly healthy

Clarity Calls. For anyone who needs it

One call. No strings attached. A video session to break through something that keeps coming back. A paid conversation with a professional before it becomes too heavy.

Most of us have learned what to think. Few of us have learned how to relate to our own thinking and be truly inner aligned.

My why

We have learned to solve problems, build careers, invent new solutions and achieve goals, yet many of us still struggle with stress, recurring patterns, difficult relationships and decisions that don't truly feel our own. At the same time, the world around us seems increasingly uncertain, divided and difficult to make sense of.

Not because we lack intelligence.

But because much of the time, we operate from an unconscious inner system shaped by past experiences, beliefs, emotional reactions and conditioning.

One of those conditions is to feel dependent on the group, the tribe. For centuries, survival often depended on adapting to the expectations of the group and following external authority.

Today, we live in a world of accelerating technology, constant change and competing narratives. The answers we once looked for outside ourselves are no longer as clear, or as consistent, or as beneficial.

More than ever, we need the capacity to consciously process what we see, hear, feel and believe for ourselves.

The essential shift is not so much in what you do, but in how you perceive life and how you choose to respond to it.

We need new capabilities.

When I was 43, my life looked successful from the outside.

Inside, I felt stuck. An awakening experience changed everything.

I became fully focussed on one question: can anyone expand their awareness and awaken to who they are, by choice and not because it happens to us?

A fifteen-year journey of research, observation and lived experience. I found the answers. It is simple, perhaps not always easy.

It has changed my life for which I am grateful. Now I am here to bring this forth into organisations and through private weeks in my home in Italy.

Whatever we want to see changing, it starts within.

What clients experienced

  • Peter

    I am very successful in what I do, and told myself that working hard is part of being successful. When I started to feel resistance about the long hours, I looked for help. Working with Lucienne was nothing what I expected. She has a gift to use many different approaches, ideas and perspectives without making one ‘the best way’. And at the same time she brings it all back to pure simplicity: choice, responsibility and alignment. It has changed my life in many ways. I am even more successful now without putting in the same hours. Working feels almost effortlessly

  • Marguerite

    I followed many courses on ‘personal development/inner work. It gave beautiful insights but once I returned home, life took over. I thought for a long time that I can control everything in life from my mind. I could not believe that anything could happen to my body without my mind noticing it. Until I got sick. After 1 of the sessions the pain was gone and the relationship with my mother was very different. Something had been released, healed. The newly applied insights had a positive effect on the team I am part of. By changing my perspective, attitude and energy, the team has become a team, without them even being aware what I was doing

  • Jennifer

    Life had made me harder, I was tired and lost my strength, not entirely happy even though everything seems fine. In my work, I lost my natural leadership and energy because I was focused on others for my happiness, my peace. While working with Lucienne, I noticed that I gained more strength, remained more grounded and it became very clear to me that I can make choices. Putting the insights into practice, had a direct effect on my work and private life. I let conflicts happen instead of having resistance, and to my surprise, the problems “resolved themselves”. It is easy to feel safe with Luciënne. For me, it was absolutely worth it and I recommend it to anyone. Your sessions have helped me tremendously. Thank you so much!

  • Rick

    I know I can figure out things myself. Coaches are for people who are stuck…I always told myself. Until I had one call with Luciënne, pure out of curiosity. She doesn’t feel like a coach, more a sparring partner, but a very direct one. Just what I needed to hear.

  • Klaas

    Would I recommend Lucienne? Yes, if only to hear about a new way of viewing feelings, thoughts, behaviour and how that was working for me or better say ‘against me’! Lucienne has a very pleasant and frank way, and uses many practical examples from her own life, that made it extra valuable and easy to apply it to my daily life!
    Why I worked with her? I was very aware of the amount of nonsense that constantly went through my mind and was looking for ways to change that. Secondly, I am a procrastinator number one but I didn’t know how to change the pattern.
    I am still on the path of discovering. I try to go to my heart, concentrate on my breathing, not an easy one for me yet, but I know what to practice.

  • Sella

    What really stayed with me is that if you need to go through something, life will show it to you. If you feel okay there is no need to actively look for healing yourself. 
    I also really liked the part of opening myself up to my heart and emotions. That gives an anchor, if unsure what to do, I check in with myself, look at the emotions and release it. Acceptance of emotions has made a big impact on myself. Feels as if I am more one with life.
