About me

Hello!

My name is Anja

I am the founder of Bold and Bright Coaching. Because it takes boldness, hard work, and dedication breaking the cycle of generational trauma and shine bright again.

In my career as a teacher I was always deeply interested in behavior and how this is formed. I participated in trainings focused on proactive problem-solving and involving the child in the process. Even though I loved working with children, I knew something else was calling me to explore. ‘The wisdom of trauma’, by dr Gabor Maté, deeply inspired me to learn more about trauma and become a Trauma- Informed Coach.

I love learning

The methods I’ve studied

My first training gave me the change to become an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. A few years later I discovered Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching which has given many missing pieces of the puzzle, especially on how to truly heal through the body.

I love learning, so when Brainspotting and Hypnotherapy crossed my path, I didn’t hesitate. These tools have helped me and my clients gently reconnect with their inner self in powerful, embodied ways.

Studying with the IFS Institute was on my list for a long time. What I love most about working with IFS is how direct and effective it is. Client walks away with deep insights into why they react the way they do in certain situations. It’s a powerful tool that I wouldn’t want to work without.

The answer is already within you
What all the methods I’ve studied have in common is this: The answer is already within you. Survival disconnects us from our inner truth and trust in Self. 

The work I do is about seeing through the pattern

A beautiful process

Listening inward and holding space for what’s ready to emerge. It’s a beautiful, transformative process that I feel truly honored to support my clients through.

In Nature

When I don’t read, study or work, I love being out in nature where I practice photography, relax and recharge my energy.

What Tracey says about me

I came to Anja having tried all kinds of talking therapies after my 20 year long relationship ended suddenly.
Struggling with the pain, anger and confusion, I felt that therapy was letting me down. I was on a hamster wheel of retraumatising myself every time I had to relate what had happened.
I wasn’t getting any answers as to how to heal and move on. Using hypnotherapy and brain spotting, Anja has helped me to get past the trauma story, to be able to process, feel and release my trapped emotions.

I feel much more confident, as my self-worth and confidence have grown. I am no longer so easily triggered by his actions from the past or in the present.

Thank you Anja. You have changed my life
