About Aika . . .

Anne-Marij has already helped me so much in a short time, showing me how I can get closer to myself and gain insight into what’s needed to find balance again. The Kriyas have had an enormous positive impact both mentally and physically. Additionally, Anne-Marij really takes the time to get to the core during the coaching sessions. She listens carefully and thoughtfully considers what the next step or practice would be for me at that moment.

Anne-Marij is my first mentor and life coach in the Netherlands. She is very visionary and humble. I had a successful academic career in Turkey. Later, I moved to the Netherlands as an immigrant. Anne-Marij restored my self-confidence. I now understand how important a mentor is for a successful and fulfilling life. Together with her, I started building new networks here. Thank you so much, dear Anne-Marij.

Authentic leadership: why is it so hard – and why does it matter

Authentic leadership is widely embraced and rarely well understood. It’s often confused with transparency or with “being yourself” — while the heart of it lies elsewhere: in the ability to let go of control and honestly observe what’s truly going on. Drawing on Susan Campbell’s Getting Real and research from Harvard Business Review, this blog explores why authenticity is so hard, why it becomes decisive for leadership precisely under pressure, how leaders can put it into practice, and how a spiritual perspective can be crucial in all of this.

Collecting Happiness

True happiness isn’t found in fleeting pleasure — it lives beyond the mind, in the quiet space of awareness, balance, and authenticity. In this reflection, I explore how we can reconnect with that inner source of peace through self-awareness and presence. Learn how to collect moments of happiness in daily life — not by chasing more, but by coming home to what’s already within you.
