About me

Living with purpose and meaning

Losing my father at a young age changed my outlook on life forever. It made me realize how fragile life is—and that I never want to regret the things I didn’t try. After 17 years in the corporate world and 7 years in higher education, I made a conscious decision to focus on what truly matters to me: well-being, personal growth, and meaningful choices for myself and our planet. That’s why I now combine my work as a lecturer with my passion for breath coaching and plant-based nutrition.

I have always had a deep interest in health, conscious living and natural ways to experience more energy and balance. Step by step, that search brought me closer to breathwork, mindfulness and body awareness. By retraining as a certified breath instructor, I discovered how powerful simple, conscious techniques can be. Your breath is always with you. It tells you a lot about how you are doing, but it can also help you reduce stress, calm your body and feel more confidence again.

What drives me is the belief that everyone has the power to create a life that is more aligned with who they truly are. Sometimes that takes courage. Sometimes it asks you to slow down. And sometimes it begins with learning to listen to your body again.

It is exactly those small, conscious steps that bring you closer to a life with more calm, energy and meaning.

My experience

I have completed advanced training in:

Breathwork (TT Breathwork®-instructor, Oxygen Advantage®-instructor & Pranayama)
Plant-based nutrition (professional plant-based & vegan desserts Rouxbe®)
Coaching (Bettermindsacademy)
Burn-out coach (Syntra)
Meditation & mindfulness teacher (The school of positive transformation).
Mindfulness for kids (The school of positive transformation)

My training in plant-based nutrition is part of my broader interest in conscious and healthy living, but my current guidance focuses on breathwork, mindfulness and stress regulation.

I use this knowledge to offer practical exercises, techniques and insights that help you build more calm, resilience and confidence in your daily life.

Find inner balance and energy through the power of breathwork, mindfulness & meditation.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from breath coaching, but I am incredibly enthusiastic and pleasantly surprised. I immediately felt at ease with Annelies—she has a warm, personal, and above all professional approach. What surprised me most were the concrete results. I never thought something as ‘simple’ as breathing could make such a big difference, both physically and mentally. I genuinely felt lighter and calmer after the session. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Annelies is a calm and empathetic person with whom it is very easy to connect, which only benefits the therapy. Moreover, the breathing exercises are explained in clear language, making them much simpler and more effective.

What a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively. The session was a moment of total pause for me: mind switched off, no to-do lists, no chaos, just being and consciously (learning to) breathe. It’s incredible how simple and quickly you can bring calm to your mind (and body). Annelies guided this in a very calm and no-nonsense way, without any fluff—exactly what I was looking for. Truly recommended for anyone who wants to slow down for a moment.
