Who is Aika…
I am Anne-Marij van Leengoed—also known as Aika, meaning “Song of Love”—an executive mind manager, coach, trainer, and yogi. I guide executives, leaders, and entrepreneurs through stress management, restoring balance, deep mind management, and uncovering authentic purpose.
With a background in International Business from Maastricht University and entrepreneurial experience in both Europe and the United States, I combine Western business acumen with Eastern wisdom. During my 10 years in Los Angeles, I helped shape the American cycling culture as the exclusive importer and distributor of Dutch brands Gazelle and Yepp.
What sets my approach apart is the integration of ancient Vedic wisdom, kundalini yoga, and Ayurveda with cutting-edge, modern mind management techniques. I work not just from knowledge—but from embodied experience. Each session is a journey into presence, clarity, and transformation.
As an NOBCO-certified coach, I take this path seriously and professionally. My “Master Your Mind” model offers a practical entry point for deep, sustainable inner work. I’m bilingual and offer my courses and training in both Dutch and English.
Married and a mother of three, I live and lead from the heart. My mission is to empower others to do the same—leading from authenticity, strength, and love.
Kundalini Yoga
Yoga is my life choice and lifestyle, a path I naturally began to follow through my love for ancient Vedic wisdom, Kundalini yoga, and Ayurveda. My daily quest for knowledge and growth in these disciplines has shaped me into the holistic coach and trainer I am today. I strongly believe in the philosophy that the best teacher is always first a student.
the Veda’s
The Vedas are filled with wisdom on how we can live and think consciously. The Vedas answer life’s questions such as: Who am I? What is the purpose of my life? In addition to universal ethics (dharma), the Vedas also contain teachings on nature and the influence of the elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Studying these wisdoms gives me the most beautiful insights.
& The Mind
My fascination with the human mind has driven me to dig deeper into the hidden potential of our thoughts and emotions. I believe that understanding and mastering our mind is the key to a happier and more successful life. After all, every thought, feeling, and action is filtered through our mind. The role of our body, heart, and soul in this process is crucial.
