Hello!

Thank you for taking time to learn a little more about me!
My name is Helen de Haan, a former sports industry executive turned mental health and wellbeing advocate for sustainable and safe performance of individuals in sport and beyond.

With a blend of knowledge from the professional sports industry and personal development fields like mindfulness, resilience and stress management, I bring a unique approach to my work and can understand the environments, daily realities and specific needs of both business and sports clients equally.

At the heart of my professional journey lies a commitment and a passion for what helps people feel empowered and enabled to make progress in their lives. I aim to make a positive impact while raising awareness to the importance of mental health and stress resilience skills as part of any sustainable performance.

Whether lecturing, facilitating workshops, or mentoring individuals, my goal remains the same: to enable and empower others to thrive.

Let’s connect and explore how we can work together!
