Resilience Retreat for Brain & Body Health Portugal
Santo Isidoro, Portugal
I was part of the November 2023 resilience retreat and I LOVED everything about it. I gained deep insights in my personal coping mechanisms and I learned how to deal with emotions in an effective way BEFORE having to cope with stress. The combination of the psychological side of things from schema psychologist Jeannette Bolck and the physical exercises and mental lessons from Louis Wijdenbosch, from coaching high performing (Olympic) sporters is deeply transformative. I went home energized and armed with simple, yet effective tools to apply at any moment when resilience needs to be trained deliberately to guard my mental and physical strength in stressful moments.

The Resilience Retreat I attended in Portugal with Louis and Jeannette was amazing. The combination of insightful conversations with Jeannette and physical exercises with Louis that help make mental challenges more clear, helped me with my growth towards a more balanced life. Moreover they are also two fantastic people that are fun to be with. The beautiful location and sunny weather made this retreat the highlight of the year for me.

With over 25 years of experience as an award-winning coach and a background in exercise science, psychomotor science and physical therapy, I am dedicated to sharing my passion for resilience and performance optimization.
My journey began as a top judoka at the highest level, and my dedication to the sport eventually brought me the honor of winning the Olympic Coach Award as a national coach.
This experience in the world of elite sport has shown me that resilience is the key to success, both on and off the mat.
With this background, I implement the Resilience Retreat because I believe resilience is important not only in elite sports, but also in everyday life.
We all face challenges and pressure to perform, and resilience is the key to standing strong and moving through life with grace.
During the Resilience Retreat, we will share valuable insights and practical skills to build resilience, both physically and mentally. I look forward to working with you to strengthen your resilience so you can shine on the mat of life.
Let's discover the power of resilience together!
