Who am i?

Pursuing happiness is a universal human desire, but suffering is also an inevitable part of the human experience.

It is a story about a flower that grew in the mountains.
The flower was beautiful but could only grow in the harshest conditions, where the soil was rocky and the wind was fierce.

The flower’s beauty came from the fact that it had learned to adapt and thrive in adverse conditions.

LIFE IS LIKE THAT FLOWER

“The art of happiness is also the art of suffering well. When we learn to acknowledge embrace and understand our suffering, we suffer much less. Not only that, but we can also go further and transform our suffering into understanding, compassion, and joy for ourselves and others,”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

I am Yvonne Looije, a woman with a compassionate soul and an entrepreneurial & curious spirit.
My heritage and DNA is Dutch. Peter is the wonderful guy I’m married to for over 25 years.
I am a professionally trained and credentialed Coach (PCC/ICF and Senior Practitioner/EMCC), and I am the founder of MaXXYou®.
Please feel free to further explore my professional background via my LinkedIn profile – click here.

Throughout my life I’ve accumulated emotional baggage, and harsh inner criticism made it a challenge to stay centered and balanced, and find inner peace.
I find myself drawn to different spiritual practices to nurture my inner light, allowing it to grow and expand and learned that the most reliable advice we can ever receive comes from our own intuition and “gut feeling”.

It has guided me towards my true calling.

As an intuitive coach I help my clients leverage their intuition to achieve personal and professional goals. As my life choices made me pursue interests and passions that are closest to my heart, I work foremost with other women, female social entrepreneurs, and lifelong dog lovers.
They have a strong tug on my heartstring. Working with them makes my light shine brightest!

The passing of our beloved dog Sammy intensified my spiritual journey and growth, and enhanced my overall better understanding of loss and grief. Regular meditation has improved my physic abilities, and I have accepted these as a natural part of live. I trust my psychic impressions without question.

Today, I’ve built strong foundation for my spiritual wisdom and intuition allowing me to help others.

I’m working my light, shining to illuminate the way for others

I bring emotional healing and inner peace, and help raise spiritual awareness
