Yokoe mireba
Nazoena hana sakoe
Kakine kana
When I heedfully observe
I see by the hedge
The nazoena blooming!

“And again my inmost life rushes louder
As if it moved now between steeper banks”
– Rilke –
You have an opportunity to reflect on and redefine your values and give new meaning to your life.
- What do I really want in my life?
- How can I tap into my creative potential?
- How do I create a sustainable practice?
Together we affably analyze your life’s challenges:
- What is my current situation?
- What is holding me back from achieving my goals?
- What do I want to learn?
We create a personalized trajectory to raise your self-awareness, we find ways to strengthen your resilience
and accumulate more autonomy in your daily life.
Life Coaching or Counselling may be beneficial if you…
- want to make changes in your life but are struggling to make them on your own or you feel there are things holding you back
- have some major goals you want to achieve and need some support
- need some clarity and confidence to help you make some major decisions
- want to gain clarity about what motivates you and what you would like to achieve
- want to reduce the stress in your life or gain a better work-life balance
Sometimes life demands answers
that are not readily available, but are nonetheless required.
Sometimes you feel deep inside that you are ready for change.
- What are my mechanisms?
- What is my ‘modus operandi’?
- How do I develop a healthy lifestyle and turn it into a sustainable practice?
- How do I create a feeling of freedom and fulfilment in my daily life?
By raising your awareness and developing
a vision you will realize your own potential.
When you start fortifying your physical health, you will grow resilient, enabling yourself to face life’s challenges.
Threefold Method Coaching
We make use of the Threefold Method Coaching:
Self-awareness, Resilience and Autonomy
Self-Awareness
We help you develop a loving, yet critical way to look at your self and your own behaviour and thus gain a healthy growing self-awareness. We will make use of different exercises, meditations and reflections. Looking at the people around you offers insights into your own personal qualities, as they often mirror us.
Your social and cultural background and your upbringing have influenced the way you look at and handle different situations. This plays a significant role in how you experience daily life. Growing Self-Awareness means you are becoming more conscious of yourself and are in control (or acceptance) of your reactions to what life has to offer.
- My mind is open and curious
Resilience
Your physical well-being, a healthy body, contributes to the way you experience daily life. Nutrition and exercise are of great influence to the body and mind. The personal research that we do provides insights into a diet and physical activity that best fits your unique constitutional properties.
Eating a healthy selection of food, that best befits you will increase your resilience in daily life; Exercise will give you a positive release of toxins and will keep your body fit and relaxed: You will feel more empowered and ready to face the challenges that life has in store for you, being able to bounce back from any situation.
- I feel empowered and energized
Autonomy
Now that you have increased your self-awareness and have fortified your resilience, you will experience a self-steering capacity and growing autonomy. Together we will look at the bigger picture; what do you want to contribute to this world, to your family and to your friends?
We will discuss the quality of your environment and explore your social-network and find ways to improve them.
Developing compassion and being of service to your community will increase a feeling of fulfilment and connection, with yourself as well as your surroundings.
- I am where I want to be, inspired!

Krien Jozeph
I have been a life coach and counsellor for more than 20 years, gaining significant experience within the Dutch healthcare system, working for the Raphael Stichting, Voorzet and by running a licensed on and offline coaching practice since 2012. While being trained as a coach, a counsellor and a social-pedagogue I developed the Threefold Method Coaching. The method covers three areas: self-awareness, resilience and autonomy. It is based on proven coaching and counselling methods and inspired by philosophical and metaphysical insights and practices from all over the world.
I continually acquire theoretic and field knowledge, through research, schooling, workshops and retreats.
Based on the Threefold Method Coaching I started my own life coaching practice in 2012, focussing on individuals wishing a positive change in their lives. I am specialised in working with people with high-functioning/high-intelligence Aspergers, ADHD, ADD and PDD-NOS, and more recently people who wish to grow Self-Awareness and develop a deep love and compassion for themselves and the world around them.
In 2015 I started a cooking project for people with autism; Het Autisten Potje,
together with Rahzeb Choudhury from Lifelong Inspiration that was funded by the Triodos Bank. On a monthly basis I organised cooking workshops to explore together with clients a different diet from what they are used to. The food we prepared was mostly based on the GAPS Diet. All people on the Autism Spectrum suffer from issues in the gut. This diet focuses on removing foods that are difficult to digest and damaging to gut flora and replacing them with nutrient-dense foods to give the intestinal lining a chance to heal and seal. This generally has a positive effect on their well being.
In 2016 I was one of the founders of Amada Zorgcollectief, an innovative healthcare collective that is based on Anthroposophy and Positive Health. Amada Zorgcollectief is active in the North of Holland and continues to grow nationwide. Since 2019 I volunteer on a weekly basis for Slachtofferhulp Nederland, an organisation that provides direct help to victims of crimes, sexual abuse, road accidents, disasters and calamities.
I have traveled the world
I have traveled, worked and lived in Europe, West-Africa, Asia, Australia and more recently in New York and Mexico. Each and every single one of these travels and work experiences teaches me important life-lessons about myself, about people and about our beautiful planet.
All valuable lessons that have formed and shaped me to who I am today and teach me how best to help my clients as a life coach and counsellor.
Amongst those world travels has been a walking trip through the Sahara desert and getting lost among the minefields of Mauritania before finally finding the last Moroccan army out-post.
In this trip, at the young age of 18, I was first confronted with fear, thirst and acceptance.
I became aware of my limitations and where to find courage to proceed.
Another journey took me traveling 2000 km by manual scooter bike along the East coast of Australia, raising funds for a charity project in Nepal. I learned about brotherhood,
about the importance of setting goals, allowing yourself to fail, pursuing dreams and how to access endless amounts of endurance to attain them.
During an overland journey from Amsterdam to India and Nepal in my own vehicle,
I worked together with various NGO’s helping to prepare people for a predicted earthquake (that finally came in 2015). I learned about different cultures, corruption and the relentless optimism of human beings.
Next to my coaching and counselling practice I am an art-director, DJ and Producer of cultural events around the world.
In the past 20 years I have worked together with various cultural organisations,
amongst them a theatre ship, Azart Ship of Fools that I have helped start their world journey.
I am part of a performance duo; Origins: Krien & Merante, performing around the world for network events, dinners, Museums, Galleries, festivals and parties.
Working with artists and innovative entrepreneurs teaches me how to work together with strong-willed, visionary and idealistic people and how best to help them attain their creative goals.
I continue to learn and grow every day.
