Nina Isabel, M.Sc. psychologist and coach

 

We are whole
I am convinced that we are all whole. Nobody is broken. When we feel like we are broken, we actually experience walls and blocks that we have built to protect ourselves. To heal, we need to look deeply into ourselves and to accept and love all parts. Also the parts that we prefer to ignore.

Underneath, is love
In my search within myself, I have realized that I have different layers in me, which I may never be able to know. I have learned that everything has consciousness, and if you look deep enough you will always find love. To live a full life, an expressed life, a life filled with love and passion, we also need to live the pain, the cracks, the suffering.

A wild life
I want to live a wild life. Adventurous and experimental. Filled with connection and joy. I want my life to be free. Free of other people’s rules, judgment and expectations. Free of my own. And in this way I want everyone to be free to connect with their deepest desires: the desire for connection, for growth and joy.

Intimate with your pain, love and desires
I will help you to explore within yourself and to find love in everything. I will teach you how you can become intimate with your pain and sorrow, so that you will live a full life. I will create space for you to discover your deepest desires and guide you in achieving them. Free from judgment, intimate with your fear.

Nina Isabel – My story

Grief
When I was seventeen, my father died of cancer. At the time I had no idea what mourning was and how I could mourn in a healthy way. I had two ways. Either I fought with grief: I refused to feel this huge amount of sorrow, and I kept telling myself it was time to be over it. Or I let myself be engulfed in mourning: desperate, drunken crying, in which I lost all control. The fear of the intensity of my emotions made sure that I did not allow them. This meant that I was constantly unhappy, sometimes severely depressed. The basis of my existence was sadness. I felt lost in these emotions and had little influence on how I felt.

Experimenting
In the years following my father’s death, my inability to cope with the pain caused me to experiment a lot. Especially with men. Sex numbed me and gave me the physical closeness that I needed. At the same time, the excitement of meeting a new man gave me adrenaline, which made me feel like I was alive.

Psychology study
In the same period I went to study psychology. It helped me to better understand the world and people around me. The scientific approach to people and our behavior has given me a solid foundation. In the following years I have supervised children and adults in various positions, always with the aim of helping them become happier.

Magic
I also kept looking for how I could become (more) happy myself. In my search I found different possibilities for self-development. I have studied Hinduism and Buddhism and plant medicine. That brought me an incredible amount of (self) love, insight, joy and connection. To be even better able to bring others here too, I followed the training for love, sex, and relationship coach with Layla Martin. Here I learned what I had been looking for all those years: a way to deal with emotions that makes me feel powerful. I no longer have to suppress my emotions. I can feel them, express them and even use their energy to achieve my goals. This feels like magic.

“After a coach session with Nina I feel I am able to take on the world again and that I am good enough for myself and others”

Radio NPO FunX Mental health club Podcast – Broken heart

I was a guest on the Mental Health Club podcast to share my expertise as a coach for healing a broken heart.

Podcast interview

Would you smash stuff if you caught your boyfriend or girlfriend cheating?!

That’s one of the topics I discuss with my friend Alkan on his podcast “That Makes Sense Maybe Tomorrow”, which combines serious/mindful and sometimes not so serious/outlandish content.

In this episode we talk about my experience as a sex, love and relationship coach. We delve into various topics , such as emotional release, my teaching approach, differences between men and women and we engage in a discussion about anger.
