About Me

Big family fun. But what about Work Life Balance? When you have a big family. My parent's ability to integrating career and parenting was qute exemplary. I dont remember them v=being frazzled, overwhelmed and stressed. I wonder what was their secret? Why does it feel like having work life balance these days is so much more challenging?

Living and growing up in Haifa Israel. Work Life Balance for Busy and Stressed out Parents.

My role as your life coach is to listen and help you find solutions to your unique circumstances and challenges. I help you find Work Life Balance. Work Life Balance for working parents.

I’m Monette, a life coach and group facilitator and trainer who helps young adults build healthy, meaningful, independent lives.

I began my coaching practice in 2018, working with parents navigating stress and the balance between work and family. Over the past year, a growing part of my work has been with young adults, and it has become my main focus. The years between 19 and 29 are full of big transitions: finishing school, starting a career, moving out, and figuring out who you want to become. I love helping young people understand the patterns they grew up with, build confidence, strengthen their relationships, make big decisions with clarity, and discover a sense of purpose and direction.

My path to coaching has been an international one. Originally from the Netherlands, I earned a master’s degree in international development from the University of Leiden, and I’ve lived and worked in Africa, North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. I’ve managed a medical equipment company in Romania, worked for a non-profit organization in Israel, for UNICEF in New York and the United Nations in Sudan. Learning about the rich diversity of cultures, languages, and traditions has deepened my appreciation for each person’s unique story and helps me meet people where they are at.

I’m certified by The Life Coach School and the WholeBeing Institute. I’m also the author of Family Matters, a workbook for families with activities to foster harmonious relationships within the home. I continue to offer coaching and workshops for parents and families who want to support the young people in their lives.

My clients often tell me I help them see possibilities they hadn’t noticed before. I offer one-on-one coaching and small-group cohorts, where young adults can grow alongside peers navigating the same stage of life.

I live just outside Boston, Massachusetts, and meet with clients by phone, video, or in person.
