Michael de Jong · CoCreatuur Coaching
Personal coaching for a happier life, creativity and personal growth.
For people who want to live more from who they truly are — in their choices, work, relationships and creative projects.
Open door
Free Friday morning drop-in.
Friday mornings, 9:00 – 11:00, at my home in Utrecht.
I believe coaching and taking care of your own wellbeing are basic human needs. Everyone deserves that — even when there's no budget right now, or you're not quite sure where to start. This drop-in is meant to help you take that first step: twenty minutes to half an hour to think out loud, express what's on your mind, and get some attention for yourself with the help of a professional coach.
Sign upRecognition
You're doing fine. But something in you wants more room. Something that's asking to be spoken, made, lived.
It's about expression. Over choices maken die je niet alleen op papier bevallen. Over listening naar je eigen instinct, je boundaries serieus nemen, emptiness verdragen, en weer weten wat spontaneity in je losmaakt. Over toegeven dat er een desire is — en ernaar handelen.
The unrecognised artist
You may not be an artist by trade,
but you are by nature.
There's something in you that wants to make, to feel, to give shape to things. That part has been quiet for a long time, or never fully heard. This coaching is about letting it speak again.
The promise
A richer life through the creator within you.
Creativity runs through everything I am, and so it runs through my coaching too.
A more creative life isn't about making more. It's about living richer — feeling more of what's truly yours, daring to choose more, and coming home to your own way of moving through the world.
Along the way, you learn to listen again to your instinct — that soft, quick knowing you usually talk yourself out of.
You move straight through the fear of expressing yourself, and discover your voice doesn't need to be perfect to matter.
You start choosing from desire instead of obligation. You take your boundaries and your space more seriously than other people's opinions.
You recognise the patterns that kept you small, and you learn to see creativity as it's meant to be seen: not as a hobby, not as a talent, but as a life skill.
And the projects that had gone quiet — the books, the compositions, the idea, the business, the conversation — start moving again.
