ABOUT EMILE

There’s a strange kind of ache that comes when your life looks good on paper, but doesn’t feel like it fits anymore.

You’re performing well, holding it all together, being who you need to be for everyone else…but deep down, you feel distant from yourself.

Not broken. Just not fully here.

I know that feeling.

​For years, I was the calm one. The helpful one. The high achiever who knew how to win in almost any room... except the one inside my own chest.


I grew up in a space where emotions were either hidden or explosive. So I learned to stay neutral, composed, agreeable. It kept me safe, but it cost me my connection to self. Eventually, that disconnection showed up in ways I couldn’t ignore. I shut people out, avoided conflict, and carried guilt I didn’t have language for.


Until one moment cracked me open.

I found myself in a personal development seminar — young, guarded, and unsure why I’d even said yes.

But something happened in that room. I saw how much of my life was being lived on autopilot and that much of my behavior was just old protection wearing new clothes.

And I realized: if I wanted peace, I couldn’t keep performing my way toward it.

That was the beginning...

Since then, I’ve spent over 15 years helping high performers, founders, creatives, and leaders do what I had to learn the hard way:

How to come home to yourself.

How to listen to what your body has been trying to say.

How to feel safe letting go of who you had to be... so you can finally become who you really are.

You don’t have to burn everything down to feel whole.

BUT YOU DO HAVE TO GET HONEST...

And you’ll need someone who can hold the space for what’s been buried.

That’s what I do.


I help high achievers come home to themselves.

"Before working with Emile, I was stuck in procrastination and misalignment that held my business back, but his coaching helped me uncover the deeper patterns keeping me stuck and created breakthroughs I didn’t even realise I needed. My stress dropped, my confidence grew, and my business is now thriving. I’ve tried countless programs, but nothing matches the depth and precision of Emile’s coaching."

Working with Emile gave me my confidence back and completely changed how I show up. I went from self-doubt and playing small to setting real boundaries and leading from trust instead of fear. That shift brought clarity, creativity, stronger client relationships, and real fulfilment. My business grew — but more importantly, so did I. Emile’s blend of deep emotional work and practical strategy is truly life-changing.

My name is Emile Steenveld, and for the past 15 years I've worked with some of the most succesful artists, CEO's and entrepeneurs leading their industries: Driven. Ambitious. Respected. But silently unraveling under the weight of a life that doesn’t feel aligned anymore.

If this speaks to you, here’s where you can begin:

A 1:1 conversation to explore what’s not working, and what alignment could look like for you.
