Vision

'What you suppress determines the dynamic.'

I believe that what we experience as discomfort also shows us the way. In my work as a systemic coach I see it time and again: real movement does not begin where someone solves something, but where someone dares to look. Not to change it, but to give it a place. That is where growth begins.

What can you expect?

In everything I do, I hope to reflect what I stand for: connection, depth and enjoyment. Even when working with themes that are painful or confronting, I believe there is room for lightness, playfulness and humour.

Coaching questions:


  • Why do I keep getting stuck in the same patterns, even though I try so hard to do things differently?
  • I often feel tired, empty or restless. How do I reconnect with myself?
  • I struggle to set boundaries. Why is it so difficult and how can I change that?
  • I am always taking care of others. How can I start putting myself first?
  • I know what I should do, but something inside me keeps holding me back. How do I break through that?

My style


  • Pragmatic: During a session we work with whatever presents itself in that moment. No protocols but engaging precisely where you feel something moving or getting stuck. Not vague, but essential. In the here and now, with both feet on the ground.
  • Intuitive and systemic:* As an intuitive and systemic coach I look with you at what is happening beneath the surface. Not to dig endlessly, but to gain insight into what truly drives or blocks you. This way you work not only on the 'noise at the surface', but reach the core.
  • Practical: As a coach I offer practical tips, including on nutrition and lifestyle if desired, that you can apply immediately. This makes it easier to overcome obstacles and reach your goals, in your own way.

* Systemic coaching makes hidden dynamics in your systems visible, whether in your family, relationships or work. It offers insight into the influence of your environment and the underlying causes of your challenges. This creates space to release old patterns and take steps in your personal growth, in a way that truly fits you.

In the act of grasping, letting go is born.

Who is Marieke?

Marieke de Zwaan (1976) graduated from Delft University of Technology in 2001 and subsequently worked as an architect for various multinationals. For ten years she travelled the world with her husband and three sons, living in the United States, Australia and Brazil. During her travels she transformed from a situation of chronic illness (burnout, migraine) to a state of optimal vitality.
Marieke discovered that the key to many complaints lies in a deeper understanding of nutrition and self-awareness. This ignited the drive to inspire others as well.

Marieke has followed various training programmes in the fields of nutrition, vitality and systemic dynamics. Since 2012 she has been guiding people as a systemic lifecoach through personal challenges. Through her training sessions, talks and webinars in the Netherlands and abroad, she has inspired thousands of people to make more conscious choices.

Marieke is registered with NOBCO and EMMC. As a business coach she is affiliated with Yet, a network of coaches and psychologists. She is also part of the PACEA team as a migraine coach, founded by neurologist Wardell Amerika.

What others

Say

My question was how to maintain inner calm in a dynamic and demanding work environment. After working with Marieke, I found my answers and as a result, my decision-making has become much more considered. Marieke adapts perfectly to what you need in that moment. Especially when you yourself are not yet clear on what needs to change.

NICK WATERLOO

Marieke!! She is much more than a coach. When I recently moved to the Netherlands, the adaptation process was not easy, and meeting her on this difficult path was my best chance. She will guide you to heal yourself and find your own answers. Sometimes all you need is to talk and she's really good at that. She understands you, encourages you and inspires you.

EMRE BASTÜRK

After my divorce I came to Marieke, with the goal of gaining more energy as a working mother of two. On both a physical and psychological level, Marieke gave me insights that helped me enormously on my way back up. Marieke is highly professional and skilled across all the different areas she works with. Highly recommended!

JORIEN SCHAAF

It was wonderful to be heard by someone who truly understands what it means to live with chronic illness. I received many valuable insights. What I appreciated most is that Marieke does not follow a set protocol, but looks at the full picture and guides you to find your own answers.

I reached out for coaching because I was overwhelmed by personal and professional issues at the same time. My energy was draining, I couldn't concentrate and I even wondered if I was heading towards a burnout. Through the process, Marieke helped me step back and see the full picture. I realised I didn't have to solve everything at once. Instead, I could let go of certain things, choose a different route and refocus on what truly represents me and my core values. I can now concentrate better and feel more clarity about my next steps. I would definitely recommend working with her.

Marieke supported me during a time when I struggled with the lack of influence I had within the company. I felt my efforts were not translating into concrete change. Although I feel I sought this support too late, the conversations and the shift in perspective did a great deal of good. I can now listen to my feelings, accept them and work with them. Thank you.

What I achieved during the coaching process still regularly helps me to 'read' experiences differently. What stayed with me most were not the answers, but the seemingly simple questions. Marieke reads the room and the people in it with remarkable sharpness. She helped me experience that my body gives more honest signals than words and that awareness begins with observation. Now I often sense surprisingly quickly whether something truly fits me or not.

With her life experience, calm presence and inner strength, Marieke earned my trust. The challenges I faced in daily life were given a different perspective, one that led to clarifying and eye-opening moments. Marieke is a professional coach who brings her subject matter with genuine passion and conviction.

DORIEN KOOIJMAN

Marieke knows more than her subject, she helps you live healthier in a pleasant and achievable way. A better coach than Marieke is not easy to find!

The reason I started a coaching journey with Marieke was fatigue and weight gain. The process was concrete and not at all vague. I quickly experienced more energy and felt much more comfortable in my own body.

rob vrins

The way Marieke works, non-judgmental, careful and with an open attitude, gave me the space and safety to do my own exploration. The systemic exercises brought me valuable insights and experiences. I felt seen and supported.
