My story
What if I tell you that the life you dream of is there for the taking?
Would you believe me?
I doubt it… I see so many women who have lost the confidence to make the changes they’ve been dreaming of – all their life! This makes me sad, because I know for a fact that it is possible. How? You can of course figure this out on your own. Yet, from my experience it goes much quicker – and is much more fun – to do it with an experienced coach. I will inspire you to figure out what you want and I will give you the gentle pushes you need to start making changes right away. You’ll never look back, I promise!

Live the Life you Love

Hallöchen, I’m Claudia!
I’m passionate about helping and inspiring women, just like you, who are experiencing a midlife rollercoaster. That’s what I call this uneasy feeling you get once you turn 50 (or thereabouts) and realise that you’re not happy anymore with how your life looks like.
Do you feel stuck, uneasy, lonely, tired or confused?
Is your career not satisfying anymore?
Do you want to get more out of life?
Do you know deep down you’re meant to do something else?
Are you feeling stressed out and overwhelmed?
I’ve totally been in your shoes and know how hard it can be to want change and not know where to begin. You have this deep desire but you don’t know what to do or how to start.
For 32 years I worked as a successful IT professional in a big international company until, slowly but surely, this job alone didn’t satisfy my soul anymore. That’s when my search for a different career and life started with a lot of bumps along the road!
Today I’m a certified life and health coach helping amazing midlife women, like you, to also take the leap to follow their heart’s desires and create the life they dream of.

Living life to the tunes of music
I grew up in a small German village with a tight social network. Music was an integral part of our family’s life. We were always singing and playing instruments. I started playing the guitar at nine. By ten, I had saved enough money to buy a real guitar. Even though it was super big to handle, I felt so proud! I joined the local orchestra and have performed ever since. For nearly 50 years already!
Winnetou was my childhood hero. I read the books a hundred times! He stood up for himself, he showed compassion for others, he had a strong belief in the innate goodness of mankind and he stood in close contact with nature. These are all values that are very close to my heart!
Learning by doing
I love learning new skills in music and in school. My math teacher inspired me to study a science degree: informatics and theoretical medicine in Munich. This opened up the door to a career in IT. For 32 years I worked in a big international organization in Belgium. I thrived in this job because of my analytical and soft skills, but I also slowly lost touch with myself.
Making myself healthy again
When my daughter was born, I revived my interest in health sciences again. My initial drive was to help my little girl be healthy. Soon my attention turned to myself. How could I thrive in life; both mentally and physically? My hunger for knowledge was limitless or never ending. With every course and degree, I gained new insights into holistic health approaches. And step by step I began to help others to relax, get fit and live a healthy and fulfilling life in tune with themselves.
Turning 50 and doing what I love
When I turned 50, I took the leap and started my own company in Belgium (in Dutch!): BalanceYrLife. I was so proud of myself and had so much energy to give to my clients. My next goal? To quit my full time job with a good retirement plan and focus solely on my business. This thought was super scary, yet I felt deep down it was what I needed to do. As luck had it, my company decided to close down our unit and I could leave early. In 2018, my dream came true.
I am a listener
I have a heart that wants to help
My business is giving value to myself and others
I want to create positive change
I find solutions to problems
I have life experiences which I can tap into to help others
I become the person I need to be to achieve my dreams
I want to make the world a better place
I love helping my clients get results that are life changing
My life changed once I decided to do what I love. I have experiences, skills and tools to help YOU get excited about your life too. Supported by coaching you can take back control of designing the life you want.
Is this what you are looking for?

Together we’ll figure out what’s best for you, so that you can start a new chapter in your life, full of energy and joy. It’s time to love your life again!
