In order to give an accurate interpretation of your birth charts, it is absolutely critical that I have your precise time of birth, along with the date and location. The closer you are to the actual minute, the more accurate my interpretation will be. Needless to say, I treat your personal information with the utmost confidentiality.

The most reliable way to find your precise time of birth is by getting a copy of your birth certificate from the municipality you were born in. This can usually be requested online. You may be charged a small fee (€10-20), depending on your country. Alternatively, you could ask the hospital for its records of your birth if this applies. Some people also have a birth announcement card or photo album that features the time. Please be warned that solely relying on your mum’s memory can be tricky. Child labor tends to be an intensive and time-consuming process, in which time details can become a bit of a blur. You wouldn’t be the first to be given a wrong time of birth, and the psychological impact of such mistakes can be quite serious.

Regardless of which route you choose, it is your own responsibility to provide accurate birth details. When the information turns out to be incorrect after our session together, I cannot give you a refund.

Allowing me to lay out your Groundworks costs €860 net total. There are no taxes added. This price includes two separate natal chart interpretations (worth €270 each), an introduction call (€90), and an extensive PDF guide (150+ pages) for further self-study (€230). In the introduction call, I ask you to paint a broad strokes picture of your life, so that I can better tailor my work to your present-day needs and expectations. This will, hopefully, ensure efficient use of our time together.

Please note that this service is non-refundable, given its personally tailored nature and the amount of work it takes to fully dissect your natal blueprint. I request your payment in advance, and will send you an invoice upon scheduling your sessions. Once received in full, your time slots will be confirmed. No changes can be made hereafter. I only reschedule your session(s) in the face of exceptional personal circumstances.

If you feel drawn to work with me, but can’t afford my services right now, I encourage you to read more about my sliding scale prices below. Courtesy discounts of up to 35% are available to those who need it.

Regardless of the ‘American Dream’ type of propaganda you’ve been fed, not everybody receives the same kind of opportunities in life. According to research conducted by Oxfam Novib, the wealthiest 1% of people own almost half of the world’s wealth, whilst 800 million people still go to bed hungry every day. These statistics are insane, and yet this is the world we live in.

Needless to say, I cannot change this system-wide inequality by myself. And yet, I want to set an example of the type of world I do want to live in, whilst remaining able to secure my own livelihood at the same time. Because somewhere in between these far ends of the inequality spectrum, are people like you and me. Even among the wealthiest nations of the planet, inequality shows itself in various ways. Guidance toward self-actualization is often only accessible to the most priviliged. Yet, it is my belief that the world would be a much better place if everyone could make their unique contribution to it by doing what they truly love to do. Besides, everybody deserves that opportunity.

The Wheel of Privilege and Power was originally developed by the Canadian Council of Refugees in an attempt to map out where the imbalances predominantly exist. The concept is simple: the less access you have to power within any given society, the more marginalized you are. As a few examples, power typically gets refused to those who have a low formal education level, dark skin color, are female, homosexual, physically disabled or neurodivergent. For a full overview, please click the link above. Many people have extended the original wheel since then in order to include even more marginalized groups.

If you recognize yourself in any of these categories, or have other reasons to believe that your chances in life are being compromised, you may select the sliding scale price upon booking your appointment. There really is no shame in doing so, as it is probably not your fault. Moreover, there will be no questions asked, because I trust that you can gauge your own financial situation alongside your need for help with integrity.

When you choose a sliding scale price, you can get up to 35% off compared to the baseline price. This means that you’ll only pay €559 for my Groundworks service instead of the regular €860 according to the best case scenario. If you’re reading this and have just become aware of the amount or privilege you actually have, I simultaneously encourage you to donate up to 35% on top of my service fee, so that the sliding scale price can remain available to those who truly need it.

To schedule your Groundworks, please select a timeslot for an Introduction video call from my Business Calendar below. I’ll get in touch with you hereafter to schedule 2 additional 3-hour sessions to take place a couple of weeks after your chosen date.

My standard practice is to meet online, via Zoom. This allows me to work with people from all over the globe. Even if you live locally, a virtual session still offers tremendous benefit to you; I can record my screen and audio at the same time, so that when you go back to the recording in the future, you will see me highlighting exactly what I’m talking about in your charts on screen. Nonetheless, if you still prefer to meet in real life, I can also travel to your home or to an alternative venue of your choice – as long as it allows for a private and undisturbed conversation. A travel fee of €0.23 per kilometer applies outside a range of 10 kilometers from my home in The Hague, The Netherlands.

I am able to converse with you in both English and Dutch, the latter being my mother tongue. Note that the additional material for self-study will be provided in English. It’s helpful to know that I have a knack for languages, and so you can also occasionally address me in your mother tongue (most notably German, French, Italian or Spanish) should words fail you during our session.

Astrology has a rich history that dates back to over 4,500 years ago. By means of empirical observations throughout the ages, humans have learned to decipher how events in the sky correspond with life here on Earth. “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul” (Hermes Trismegistus). This started out with very simple correlations, such as: “when an eclipse takes place, the king dies”, but became increasingly sophisticated over time. Although Astrology has known periods of oversight and hush-ups (think: witch hunts), as well as revival (for instance: it was a central feature in Greco-Roman culture), this ancient craft has ultimately stood the test of time.

While most people know their Sun sign thanks to the newspaper columns that erupted in the 1960 and 70s, not many realize that this represents only a very basic understanding of your personality through the archetypal lens of Astrology. When looking at a snapshot of the entire sky from the time and place you were born, we can for example see your preferred communication style and how you take in information (Mercury), how you can most naturally access your feelings and intuition (Moon), how you show up in relationships and what things you value (Venus), how you express your anger and can best motivate yourself (Mars), where you experience most fears and hardship (Saturn), but also where you’re uniquely gifted and blessed (Jupiter). And of course, your Sun sign shows how you shine your light out into the world. We can even distinguish characteristics of entire (sub-)generations by looking at the outermost planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto). Aside from the planets as the active agents of your natal horoscope, we can divide the wheel into 12 different houses, which mark the areas of life that most of us seek to better understand, such as your upbringing, health, living situation, romantic partnership, friendships, career and finances. And finally, the North and South Nodes of the Moon – calculation points of where the apparent path of the Sun crosses that of the Moon, called the ecliptic – hide the secrets of your unique life purpose here on planet Earth. All of these things can ultimately help you to unlock your greatest potential.

We could honestly talk about your birth chart for hours and hours – and we will. Even so, by considering what demands the greatest attention in your life right now prior to our first meeting, you can make the most of our time together. Which questions are you looking to get answered? Which specific concerns do you have that you’re hoping to get insights into? Because there are so many different avenues we could explore, it helps to provide me with a clear objective or area of focus.

Note 1: I practice modern, Western Astrology, using the Tropical Zodiac system. My approach to Astrology is mostly psychological and evolutionary in nature rather than predictive, as I believe that it’s ultimately up to the individual how the chart gets expressed. Having said that, I do incorporate some ancient, Hellenistic techniques such as Sect into my chart interpretations too. Finally, I use the Whole Sign house system to determine the concrete and objective events of your life, although I’ll certainly also peak at the Placidus division of your houses in order to gauge your psychological attitudes.

Note 2: although your natal horoscope stays with you for life, it is certainly not static. Elements of it may be especially activated right now due to the current planetary transits. If you want to better understand the life cycles you’re moving through or what the near future has in store for you, I highly recommend bundling your Groundworks (01) with a Terrain Ahead (02) session.

Human Design entered this world in 1987 through a man who later called himself Ra Uru Hu. He claims that he heard “the voice” reveal this system to him for eight days straight. Even so, Human Design is a synthesis of esoteric knowledge (Astrology, the Hindu Chakra System, Chinese i’Ching and Jewish Kabbalah Tree of Life) and modern-day science (quantum physics, astronomy, genetics and biochemistry). Together, they create the BodyGraph, which shows you the nature of your aura, and how it gets affected by your interactions with others. Although Astrology does not provide any conclusive answers as to how exactly it works, Human Design posits that neutrinos – the smallest known building blocks that travel at near-lightspeed and can pass through matter – leave a permanent energetic imprint on us when we are born, as well as 88 days before it. Aside from this, the ongoing neutrino stream also affects us in the here and now by means of planetary transits.

Out of the various possible configurations of the BodyGraph, 4 generic energy types arise, to know: Manifestor, Generator, Projector and Reflector. Each type has its own unique characteristics along with a strategy of how to best navigate this plane. In addition, each of us has a unique personal authority that guides us in our daily decision-making. Because of this, Human Design is very practical and hands-on. It gives you tips on which diet and environment are most nourishing for you, how you can recognize your ‘not-self’ behaviors and so much more. Ultimately, it shows you how to live your life in flow rather than constant resistance.

Note: I try to stay as close to the original teachings of Ra Uru Hu as possible, in order to prevent some of the knowledge’s distortion that you see in many places today as Human Design has gained traction. However, I’ll also be the first to acknowledge where some of his original language has become outdated and needs refining. Whereas I don’t stand by the seemingly endless possibilities for your life as suggested by manifestation culture (we all have limitations), I do want these teachings to feel empowering to you.

Out of the 3 disciplines, the Gene Keys is the newest by far. It is a further evolution of the Human Design system by Richard Rudd – who worked alongside Ra Uru Hu for many years. According to the Gene Keys, we each have a Hologenetic Profile that represents our evolutionary journey through life. The key of this system lies in the word ‘evolutionary’, meaning that we have the ability to grow.

Whereas Human Design can sometimes be quite deterministic in nature, the Gene Keys help us see that the various components of your natal imprint can be expressed in different ways depending on your personal level of maturation. Along this line of thinking, each of the original 64 hexagrams of the i’Ching have their shadow, gift and siddhi expressions. Moreover, the Gene Keys introduce us to the art of contemplation; when we use our mind’s thinking in tandem with our body’s felt sensations and lived experience, we reach a level of understanding that changes our biochemistry. In less complicated terms: our outer lives will begin to change as our combined mental, physical and emotional awareness grow over time.

Note: a couple of hours certainly isn’t going to be enough to discover, let alone integrate, the immense wisdom that the Gene Keys hold. That’s why we’ll primarily focus on your Human Design BodyGraph, and use the Gene Keys as complementary teachings. If you wish, I can direct you to further Gene Keys reading that can assist you on your onward journey of contemplation.

You don’t have to believe in any of it in order to get something out of a consultation with a specialist. Astrology, Human Design and the Gene Keys are not belief systems, but archetypal languages. Think of them as lenses that, through their color, offer you a new way of seeing the world. As a result, your awareness expands. When you’ve integrated your lessons, you can then let go of the new frame of reference (lense) again.

I do not work with these disciplines with the aim of boxing you in. You are a marvel of a human being, and any attempt to define you by means of predetermined constructs is by nature going to be flawed. However, that doesn’t mean that there’s no validity to using these tools. I have seen them work time and time again – perhaps because we take what resonates and leave the rest. Perhaps there’s indeed more to the universe than meets the eye. I do not seek to know how they work, because some things are simply beyond our human understanding.

If you’re a sceptic, but your curiosity is peaked regardless, you’ll be in good hands with me. Although I’ll always challenge your assumptions, it’s not my style to tell you what to believe in. Besides, the true value of this knowledge will show itself in your own experiment with it afterward anyway.

If you already have a thorough understanding of either your natal Astrology or Human Design, you may choose to cut your Groundworks in half. We then zoom into either modality separately; instead of two times a 2 to 3-hour session, we only meet for one. At the cost of €475, you then get the Introduction Call, your  interpretation of either your Astrology OR your Human Design chart as well as the recordings, transcripts and half of the original PDF guide (still 75+ pages).

I totally get that. Quite frankly, it will be a lot of information coming at you in just a short amount of time. For this reason, I’ll always have mini-breaks during my sessions, so that we can both get back to center. You’ll also get both the recording and the PDF guide so that you can re-orient to the material at your own leisure, and as your life circumstances change.

Still, some people prefer to digest this knowledge in even smaller doses. This can be particularly true for those of us who have a process-based authority in Human Design (emotional or soundboarding), who are strategic learners (top arrows pointing left), or who investigate slowly but deeply to get a solid foundation of knowledge (1-line profile, or Mercury in an earth sign). Regardless of your specific chart configuration, if you felt called to read the answer to this question, then I want you to honor your need for having a longer processing time! Unlike what society tries to tell us, life is not a competition of who gets somewhere fastest.

To meet your need, I can adjust my standard Groundworks service by cutting it up into smaller pieces. You’ll get a full 3-month Groundworks Integration Trajectory instead. We see each other a total of 9 times for a 2 to 2.5-hour session each time, over the course of 3 lunation cycles. We do not meet at the New Moon phase, so you can use these times to turn inward and reflect – as nature wants us to. At the same time, I’ll drip-feed your personalized PDF guide throughout the trajectory. Essentially, you’ll get triple the processing time together with me along with a sea of extra time to integrate on your own, which allows you to catch your energetics in real time and tends to lead to enhanced understanding. Moreover, we can use this additional time to supplement the Groundworks’ theoretical knowledge with somatic exercises and constellations to further deepen your awareness. The total cost for such a Groundworks Integration Trajectory is €2580.

As a natural Investigator, my approach to your Groundworks is highly intensive and in-depth. Know that this is unusual for consulting Astrologers and Human Design analysts, who often just give you a broad-strokes overview of your natal blueprint in under an hour. This is your life we’re talking about, and I take this responsibility very seriously. My preparation process is lengthy, and I spend a couple of weeks consulting different books and training materials so that I can distill the essence out of the various and sometimes paradoxical elements of your charts. If you’re here because you want to learn something fun about yourself that you’ll forget about before the year has even passed, then my style is not for you.

However, if you’re here because you’re ready to look deep into your shadow self and transform your life, then I’ll be honored to guide you on that path. I have an innate talent to spot what’s deeply hidden in people combined with a strong sense of empathy that cannot be taught. Aside from this, I am very open-minded in terms of personal life choices – as long as they do no obvious harm to others – and believe in a healthy synthesis of knowledge. Where appropriate, I complement my factual knowledge of your charts with practical insights and tools such as nervous system regulation techniques, family systems theory, attachment styles, etc. as needed.

Note: please be aware that you may be projecting onto me, and while that’s only natural with my design, I ask that you remain critical of your own assumptions and expectations. I cannot “save” you, and you remain the ultimate authority of your own life.
