Hello, my name is Lara, I was born in the Netherlands and grew up in France. I mostly lived my life in the South-East of France, in a beautiful area called the Drome, but recently I’ve moved to Curaçao, an island in the Caribbean, a constituent country of the Dutch Kingdom. Funny right, that somehow twenty years later, I came back to an environment that echoes with my roots in some alternative way. I’m very blessed that I could live and experience so many different cultures, people and environments at still a pretty early stage of my life. I think it has expanded my worldview in a multitude of different ways, and enriched my desire to always discover more about everything that is there. Ever since I was a spontaneous little girl, I have always been curious about life and enjoyed discovering the magic that resides within it.
Anyhow, several years ago I got very passionate about self development, I had an « Aha » moment when I came across one of the books of John Gray. Then I felt that this was the path I wanted to follow. So I’m happily certified from the Mars and Venus coaching program. Which has considerably broadened my knowledge about the subject.
After highschool I first studied Art, another passion of mine. I think this creative side is also something that helps or enables me to see the world and life from a multitude of different perspectives. I believe keeping an imaginative mind is what was essential for me to find my way and I believe it is also very resourceful in helping other people rediscover theirs. I like to think that there is no right or wrong path in life, the most valuable journey we can choose is the one that really feels aligned with ourselves. We might not find it the first time, but that is Ok, we can make mistakes, have compassion for ourself and keep advancing. And step by step and with some help along the way, we can create an exciting, rich and fulfilling life.
That is why I decided to follow this inner voice that directed me to coaching and to the beautiful world of Mars and Venus. Last but not least I was very lucky to grow up in a household where psychology has always been a big part of my life and education. Having a mother who is a well known psychologist in the Netherlands, and has developed her own complementary therapy method called PRI (past reality integration) and has written a multitude of books about it. She has always been a big source of knowledge and inspiration that has stimulated my deep interest for human behavior and emotional intelligence since a very young age.
To sum it all up, my practice as a mars and venus coach is unique, as I am skilled in combining gender intelligence, depth psychology and Art into a tailor made approach to best help my clients.
