‘’Je bent pas iets als je niets kunt zijn.’’
“It is my mission to bring consciousness into the world, so that more intimate relationships arise with ourselves, with others, and ultimately with everything around us.
To live and connect from the heart.”
Born in 1986 in Venlo, with the name Michelle Kessels in my passport. My father called me Ariël, my mother Sunshine. Together they also gave me the nickname eigewieze prengel (Limburg dialect for “stubborn little thing”). Today, I embrace all these names — each carries a piece of my being.
My desire to understand people and their behavior led me through various studies onto the path of coaching and training. In 2010, I began my career, and since then I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals, couples, families, and teams. These experiences have shaped me into the coach and facilitator I am today.
At the same time, I followed my spiritual path. During my journeys to Asia, I immersed myself in the philosophy and ancient wisdom of Yoga, Tantra, Ayurveda, Reiki, and Chinese and Thai medicine. Together with systemic constellation work, these traditions form the foundation of my body-oriented approach.
The combination of my professional background, my spiritual development, and my Limburg down-to-earthness allows me to move freely and fluidly between worlds. For me, it ultimately always comes down to one thing:
It’s all about balance.

Wat je nog niet van me wist…
Koken voelt als mediteren voor mij. Eten en voeding is een grote en belangrijke liefde in mijn leven. Voeding is het belangrijkste medicijn dat bestaat.
Ik geloof in een combinatie van nuchterheid, begrijpen wat we doen ( psychologie) en werken met het lichaam.
Ik heb mijn pumps ingewisseld voor het veelal lopen op blote voeten, ook in de winter of als ik even naar buiten loop.
Ik heb nog nooit drugs gebruikt en ben nog nooit dronken geweest. Ik ben al high van het leven zelf ;-).
Muziek, dans en vrij bewegen laten me enorm tot mezelf komen. Tevens worden deze ingezet binnen de workshops en coaching.
Wanneer je voeding als medicijn inzet, zijn er ineens zoveel mogelijkheden
