Coaching
Break through stubborn patterns and assume your rightful place by receiving coaching based on Els van Steijn’s fountain metaphor. Perhaps you have specific questions, goals, wishes, or dreams, or are trying to overcome obstacles, whether in your private or your professional life. Perhaps you have been ignoring the signs for too long, or maybe you just want to grow and challenge yourself.
Then The Fountain is the right place for you. Here, your coaching question takes center stage. You gain insight into the real issues at hand. We look past the smoke and mirrors and formulate concrete steps and behavioral intentions. These empower you to achieve your goals. Our starting point is that patterns that dog you in your everyday life can always be traced back to your system of origin. This means that we work on two levels: first, on the invisible dynamics of your family system, and second, on the practical implementation of how you can more easily assume your rightful place in your day-to-day life and work.

How does it work?
Step by step, using the metaphor of the fountain, you assess where you are currently “standing” in your fountain. In addition, you explore any systemic burdens you may bear. These are often different from what your rational mind is able to recognize. You then take any necessary steps to descend in the fountain so that you come to stand in your own, unique place. You look at what has not yet been sufficiently processed and is currently asking to be seen, which allows you to live your life more freely.
We start by getting to know one another and calmly exploring your coaching question. This is done in a non-binding consultation. The consultation also allows us to determine whether you feel comfortable and safe with the coach you have chosen. Next, we schedule six coaching sessions of 1.5 hours each, which take place roughly once a month. We allow enough time between sessions for the sessions to do their work. Your coach will also monitor and guide you during those six months, during which time you can grow and develop, and your question can be explored in greater depth or breadth. Each coaching session includes a one-to-one constellation. You are like an onion, with many layers to explore. Exploring them helps you become systemically cleaner.
Approximately halfway through your coaching program, you take part in a constellation day with your coach, during which you participate in your own constellation. Your coach then discusses your constellation with you in the session that follows. We advise you to also participate as a representative in one of your coach’s constellation days during this process. We advise doing this early in your coaching process, before you contribute your own question to a constellation day. By first participating as a representative, you will gain valuable insights that support you in becoming systemically cleaner. It also helps you better prepare for your participation as a question contributor.
