Hi, I’m Donna
A former Montessori teacher and community builder from The Netherlands. After a burnout in 2008, I went on a personal quest to find my real purpose in life.
This lead to starting my first business, SOY, Inspirational Guidance in 2009. With Soy, I wanted to inspire others to start their own journey to their essential selves. Because I had come to understand that the whole of creation depends on each and every living creature taking its unique, authentic role.
Continuing my journey, I discovered that just living your dream is not enough if you don’t do it in connection with others. I decided that I didn’t want to be just a ‘personal coach.’ Instead of doing my one-on-one sessions, I started to work with groups. There’s never as much wisdom in one person as there is in a group that agrees on finding mutual solutions that serve the whole.

We are one
In 2019, I married Rono, my better half. It took us both 50 years to finally find each other. It was worth the wait.
Rono is a writer of short stories and comics about the power of connection. Every now and then he writes a story about resilience exclusively for the Resilience! platform.
We are working on another platform, were.one which will come to live in its time.
