About
Hi, I'm May
For over a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of emotional healing, behavioural change, and relational transformation.
My coaching approach is informed by principles from Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapted for personal development contexts.
One of my earliest professional experiences in the field was in Dance Movement Therapy, where I witnessed firsthand how the body stores emotional patterns—and how movement can unlock what words alone cannot reach.
This early foundation continues to inform my approach today, integrating the mind, body, and nervous system as a whole.
My career began in clinical settings in the Netherlands, where I supported individuals with behavioural disorders such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder (CD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and attachment disorders, including Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED).
Later, I worked closely with early school leavers in the United States, individuals experiencing burnout in Sweden, and those struggling with depression, emotional disconnection, or chronic overwhelm in South Korea.
Over time, my work evolved into deeper, integrative support for women—helping them recognise and release the unconscious patterns that keep them overfunctioning, self-abandoning, or silently shrinking in relationships and life.
Before fully stepping into this work, I spent years specialising in conflict resolution and behaviour management within the educational system, working in one of Stockholm’s most challenging districts.
In addition to supporting students, I trained school staff on how to de-escalate potentially volatile situations, navigate emotional reactivity, and create safer and more supportive relational environments.
Today, I guide women through trauma recovery, emotional regulation, and self-leadership, helping them create relationships and lives that reflect their true worth and deepest desires.
This work is about more than insight. It’s about embodiment.
My approach combines psychological depth, emotional processing, and somatic awareness to foster sustainable, internal change, so that healing isn’t just something you understand, but something you live.
What I share in my work isn’t theory. It’s grounded in thousands of hours spent walking alongside clients—and in my own lived experience.
Because before I could guide others through transformation, I had to walk through the discomfort of my own.
That journey of returning to self, to truth, and power is what informs this work. And it’s the path I now help others reclaim, with clarity, compassion, and lasting impact.
During my time in the Caribbean, I worked as a researcher in Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), offering the organisation that works with dolphins as co-therapists recommendations and fresh insights to further develop and enhance its practices.
Outside of work, I spent my free time swimming with dolphins in the open sea.
Living with Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory of Australia taught me the profound importance of community.
Among Aboriginal women, gatherings often take the form of sitting together in a circle—sharing stories, laughter, and hard-earned wisdom. These moments are enriched by sacred female rituals that foster connection, support healing, and nurture personal and collective growth.
Immersed in a practice of meditating up to 15 hours per day during my stay in a ashram in South Korea.
This experience not only transformed me personally but also expanded my professional perspective.
The moment you drift from your inner stillness, you drift from who you truly are.
And when that connection is gone, you find yourself lost—swept up in others and in the noise of the world.
