My story
In June 2021, I thought to be very happy with the life I lived. Having a good job, amazing boyfriend and a big social life. All of a sudden, I got into a car accident which left me with a 2.5 year long concussion.
​
I couldn't do anything for months, had 24/7 headaches, no memory function, and couldn't carry a grocery bag because of the pain in my neck. My social life was dead and my Berlin Marathon cancelled.
​
Doctors told me it would last a maximum of two months, but after these two months, nothing had changed. No one could tell me what was going on and why I still had those symptoms. My boyfriend and family didn't understand, I lost friends and never felt so alone as then.
​
I wanted to get better and started doing research online. I came across a wonderful psychologist who helped me tremendously and brought me in touch with a skilled chiropractor focused on brain injuries. I finally found people that both understood and acknowledged me, my feelings and symptoms. They helped me get my joy and exercise back into my life and rethink my future career.
​
Since then, I ran three marathons (Berlin, Boston and Sydney), my headaches are gone, my memory function is back, I have a smaller but more meaningful social life, and most of all I am feeling excited again about life and my future!
​
I really thought living life again as I did before the accident would be all I wanted. Little did I know that nothing goes back to how it was, but I changed into a much better version of myself doing things that I love and that I feel passionate about, while being mentally and physically fit.

Client Reviews & Success Stories
My clients share their experiences and the positive impact of my coaching to their daily lives
Victor (68)
Machteld combines warmth, excellent listening, and a no-nonsense Dutch honesty with a professional curiosity and structure that make her sessions feel both personal and effective. Her ability to draw out my real goals, help reframe setbacks without judgement, and spark new habits in areas like sleep, nutrition, and fitness has been quietly but powerfully life-improving. She’s someone who has lived a full professional life already — including running the 2025 Boston Marathon! — and brings that experience and self-awareness into a coaching style that is encouraging, insightful, and grounded.
​
If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely listen, ask the right questions, and support you to make meaningful change — even if you don’t yet believe it’s possible — I would strongly recommend Machteld.
Jess (31)
Working with Machteld has been a game-changer. Instead of pushing unsustainable routines, she’s helped me build small, realistic habits that actually fit my lifestyle, whilst also making it fun along the way. I really appreciate her thoughtful coaching approach; every session sparks a new way to think about movement and how to stay active in ways that feel natural. I’m truly grateful for the encouragement, accountability, and mindset shift she’s helped me create. Not to mention the good quality chats that count as cardio in my books 😎
