About me

The longest road I’ve traveled is the way back to myself

Do you have a feeling of inner emptiness? Do you feel restless or do you have little energy? Can’t really get things off the ground or can’t you be really happy?

I assist you to restore the connection to your own source of knowledge and vitality.

The result is a feeling of independence, more vitality and joy.

Gain insight into what has weakened your own system and build on strengthening yourself

My name is Elise Timmer and I am 53 years old.

I have been interested in human behavior since my student days. Why do people act the way they do, what are their motives, what weakens people and what strengthens you and makes you vital and happy. I have started to focus more and more on the question, what from a deeper layer makes you really happy and vital. And how to create that life you long for.

Before this I read a lot, studied and followed courses, which gave me more and more answers to these questions.

I would like to pass on the answers I have received and which I have often lived through myself and live by in my own coaching practice.

I am an experienced professional. As an experienced professional, I have trained from my own experiences and I use these experiences professionally to guide other people in similar processes.

I have experience & training in the areas of:

  • Healing inner child pieces
  • Gaining deep awareness of your obstructive patterns
  • Stimulus sensitivity (like high sensitivity)
  • Trauma relief
  • Finding and strengthening your core (authentic self) and essence
  • How do you strengthen your Body-mind connection
  • Sexual energy as life force / body awareness (including teachings of the TAO)

Privately, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I like walking my dogs and swimming. In addition to living in the Netherlands, I also like to stay in Greece, where I love the simplicity of life and the beautiful nature.

In addition to my work as a coach, I do volunteer work for a stray animal shelter on Lesvos.

Work experience

2001-2010: reintegration advisor and career coach

After falling into a deep personal crisis in 2008/2009, I spent a lot of time understanding my personal well-being. Specifically in:

  • I have gained insight into patterns that weaken me and, on the other hand, what feeds and strengthens me
  • what makes me stagnant and what lies in the depths below
  • what makes me feel vital and happy in my body and mind
  • what my own added value is
  • how do I navigate to the life I desire
  • what is my potential

My mission

My mission is to turn the anxiety and depression I experienced into joy and enjoyment in my life. Living from 180 degrees in the dark to 180 degrees in the light.

This is also what I wish for you. I would be happy to guide you in exploring together what lies beneath your blockage. I do this mentally, emotionally and spiritually, so that you really become ‘clean’ and feel free. Your energy can flow again and you feel closer to yourself.

This does not mean that there is no more pain and sorrow, but that you carry it from a different being. That you live from a consciousness and basis of maturity and strength, in which all feelings may be there.

I like to pass on all the knowledge and wisdom that I have received and discovered to everyone who is willing to look at themselves and longs for an authentic and meaningful life.
