My journey into inner work & coaching began with a question that arose from being unfulfilled and unhappy:

Who Am I?

I am Rinesh and am 42 years old. I was born in the Netherlands, my parents are from Suriname and my ancestors are from India. At home I was living the Surinamese/ Indian culture and outside of home I was living the Dutch culture. This was very challenging and confusing. I didn't know what my identity was and how to behave in these entirely different cultures. Being raised in a strict way had a big influence on my sense of self and freedom.

For many years, I carried emotional pain, inner conflict and questions that I could not easily answer. I wanted to understand why I felt the way I did, why certain patterns kept repeating themselves, and how to be joyful. That search became one of the defining journeys of my life.

During my studies International Business and Languages, I had the opportunity to do my Erasmus exchange and internship both in Spain. This was the first time where my eyes opened and experienced to travel and a whole different way of living. I loved learning and speaking different languages to truly connect with people. I found myself increasingly drawn towards understanding people, psychology, personal growth and the deeper questions of human existence:

One day my cousin suddenly got ill and passed away. This hit me hard and I wasn't happy with my life having a 9 to 5 office job, feeling completely empty and miserable. Life forced me to stop everything and I asked myself:

Is This Life?

I stopped everything and decided to train in China at a traditional Shaolin Kung Fu academy for 1 year. This experience changed me on a deep level and taught me discipline, resilience, humility and the value of consistent practice. Being in a completely different country, culture, lifestyle and not knowing how to speak Chinese pushed me to my limits! This also resonated with my interest in exploring different styles and perspectives in martial arts, languages, dancing, etc. to really go to the root and core of things.

So over the years that followed, I explored many different approaches to healing, self-awareness and transformation through coaching, meditation, mindfulness, personal development programs, therapeutic work and extensive travel. Each experience helped me understand myself more deeply and revealed another layer of the beliefs, emotions and protective patterns that had shaped my life, which led me to another question:

What is My Purpose?

As my own healing journey continued, I found myself naturally supporting others. For more than ten years, I worked one-on-one with people from around the world as a Dutch language teacher. Although language was the focus, I often witnessed deeper struggles beneath the surface: self-doubt, fear, perfectionism, insecurity and limiting beliefs. The same human challenges that I had encountered within myself.

Today, I help people explore the unconscious patterns, beliefs and emotional wounds that may be keeping them stuck. My work is grounded in the belief that we are not broken and do not need fixing. We need awareness, understanding, integration and courage to meet ourselves with honesty and compassion. When that happens, genuine transformation becomes possible.

My role is to help you reconnect with who you truly are. You decide who you are and who you want to become!
