How my journey began
In 2018 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. This was the start of a transformation journey that has brought me back to myself and to who I am and want to be.
I had been working in IT for corporate companies for about 20 years. I learned a lot in those years and built up great working relationships with customers and colleagues but my need to prove myself worthy of my role and salary led me further away from my true self and what really makes me happy.
The break away from work to be treated for my cancer gave me the opportunity to review my life and to re-assess my priorities. With the help of a coach I reconnected with my body and myself, and with the help of a spiritual guide I reconnected with my intuition and the Tarot Cards through courses and workshops.
By becoming more connected with myself I realised that the thing that made me most happy was to help people. I want to help you reconnect with yourself and to work through limiting beliefs that prevent you from being your true self. To help you gain clarity and to understand what is happening with you on a subconscious level. To live and work from a place of compassion - for others but also for myself.
I followed courses in Tarot, successfully completed an energy healing course and successfully completed my NOBCO accredited coaching course.
I do coaching sessions and Tarot readings online and in-person in both English and Dutch.
Preseli Bluestone
What’s in a name?
As a child I was fascinated with stones and rocks and would always come home with at least one or two new stones in my pocket after a walk in the woods or the beach.
As I was searching for a name for my practice, I came across the Preseli Bluestone and all the pieces fell into place.
The Preseli Bluestone is a rare and unique igneous rock that is found exclusively in the Preseli Hill region and mountain ranges in western Wales. It is the stone that the ancient monoliths at Stonehenge are made from.
On a spiritual level Preseli Bluestone has a strong transformative energy. It helps you to turn your attention inwards and see what is missing in your life. It helps you to heal your wounds and to be courageous so that you can face difficult situations and stay true to yourself. Preseli Bluestone also helps with clarity and dealing with the past and helps you retrieve the lost parts of your soul so that you can live more authentically.
These are all things I want to help people with through my Tarot readings and coaching. This, in combination with my link to the UK (I am Dutch but grew up in England), made the name Preseli Bluestone Coaching the perfect choice for the name of my practice.
Approach
With the Tarot readings I use a very down to earth approach. My goal is to provide clear information regarding your questions. It is important to me that you leave the session with more clarity and purpose than before the reading. I use my knowledge of the cards together with my intuition and contact with the collective consciousness to provide you with messages and insights.
With energy healings I work following a trained technique but also rely on my intuition as well as my connection with the source. During a healing I ‘step into’ the chakra. This is a very visual experience for me and I share what I see during the healing or, if preferred, at the end of the healing. Often images of a previous life will present themselves and this is usually related to the theme and/or blokkage being addressed in the healing. I also connect with your guides to see if there is a message that is important to receive right now.
With Coaching combined with the Tarot, we start with a reading to find out more about your specific situation or question. We will then have a coaching conversation based on the information received from the cards as the starting point. The cards allow us to get to the essence more quickly and make is possible to gain insights more quickly. The coaching is there to help you find the way to make the changes you want to make based on the insights you have received. With a healing it is possible to help remove the blokkages more quickly and to allow your energy to flow better. It is also possible to remove vows you may have made in a previous life which could be affecting you negatively in this life.
During an intake we will discuss your specific question and based on this we will determine your specific coaching journey. During the coaching sessions we will look at the underlying/subconscious elements influencing your situation through questions, exercises and meditations. I will be there to facilitate you in gaining the insights that will help you take the next step.
Mission and Values
Have you ever had that feeling that something wasn’t quite right? That you are feeling out of sorts but when someone asks you what’s wrong, that you can’t answer that question? If you could find the words it would be much easier to figure out what you could do to solve the situation.
My mission is to create a space where you feel safe and heard and where you can gain insights in order to breakthrough old patterns and blockages, so that you can be more present and live authentically. I want to help you to connect with what makes you truly happy.
When elements of the subconscious are named and given form through words, they are brought into the realm of the conscious and by doing so become tangible. Once something is tangible it is much easier to understand it and to work with it.
It is also my mission to demystify the Tarot. Most people have only seen or heard about Tarot through films and series where the Tarot is presented as a way to predict the future or as a harbinger of death. This is not what the Tarot is about. Through Tarot readings we can gain insight into the energies that are at play and it allows us to connect with the subconscious. It is also helpful in understanding the underlying influences that are at play in a specific situation.
My values are integrity, compassion, equality and authenticity.
