Looking inward
Life’s most important question is not just “Who am I,” but also “Who am I with?”
Hi, my name is Johan
Creative immersion life coach / storytelling guide
I help people find their footing when life shifts — to pause, reconnect with purpose, and live their story in a way that matters.
I began as a journalist, learning that the right question can unlock the stories people rarely tell. That curiosity became the foundation of my coaching: when we are met with care, we open up, reflect deeply, and begin to see our lives differently. Over the past twenty years, I’ve walked alongside young dreamers, community entrepreneurs, and professionals at crossroads, helping them navigate change, uncover possibility, and reclaim their own voice.
Coaching lives in the spaces between — the moments where difference sparks insight, where reflection meets action, and where clarity emerges from conversation. I blend storytelling, reflection, and creative process to guide clients through reinvention and growth. Living with long COVID taught me the power of slowing down and rebuilding from what’s alive inside us — and that insight shapes everything I offer as a coach.
With warmth, humour, and a listening presence, I create safe, catalytic spaces where you can explore your story, honour your uniqueness, and begin shaping what matters most — piece by piece, story by story.
What sets me apart?
- A storyteller’s ear: Years in journalism taught me to listen beyond words — to hear truth between the lines.
Depth meets creativity: Integral Coaching training combined with art-based and clay process work that turns reflection into tangible change.
Lived reinvention: My own journey through illness and transition gives me empathy for what it takes to rebuild a life.
Spaces of difference: I thrive in the in-between — helping people find clarity where roles and identities shift.
