ABOUT CHRISTOPH

Thank you for your interest in my work.

 

Mindfulness changed my life (following a panic attack on a packed Manchester tram).

 

That’s why I teach it. 

 

Perhaps it might change your life too. Or your organisation’s. 

 

Here’s a little bit more about me:

 

I’m Belgian-born and have lived in the UK for 21 years.

 

> 15 years of Learning & Development experience. Published author. Certified coach. Animal lover. Child sexual abuse survivor. 

 

With my Mindfulness workshops, courses, and talks, I aim to bring secular, evidence-based Mindfulness to individuals and corporate teams in a practical way.

​

I am delighted to be represented by A-Speakers and InspirationalSpeakers. 

 

I’m the author of the holistic personal development book, Life of a Lifetime – Inspiration for Creating Your Extraordinary Life (Business Expert Press, NY).

 

When people ask me what fuels me, I always reply, “Life.” I believe it’s an incredible experience to be here on this planet and the journey teaches us so much. The good, the bad, and the ugly. We can -if we choose to- grow from it all. I have a huge passion for life and the opportunities it brings us to evolve into happier, more fulfilled, self-actualising people. This excitement fuels my work.

​

And when I’m not working, I enjoy spending time in nature, getting lost in my eclectic taste in music, and coming up with awesome names for cats and dogs.

 

Im Abendrot, sung by Jessey Norman, is my all-time favourite piece of music.

​

With hindsight, I am grateful for my tram panic attack. I know firsthand that “We teach best what we most need to learn.”

 

So, I keep learning so I can keep sharing. 

 

Thank you. Let's connect and tell me more about how we can collaborate...
