However, you *feel and know* that this is the time to find that right balance in your **diet**, **hormones** and a **healthy lifestyle**.
Forget random diets and trends. Develop your own personal **Game Plan**. With a shared Love for Food, Expertise & a bit of Fun, we will make sure it fits you and the phase you’re in, like a glove.

All day, everyday, everywhere.

I think i need this! How does it work?

Ambitious, stylish and… exhausted?

Recognizable?

You are busy and you desperately wish you had more energy or at least could manage your energy better. No one will notice it, because - 'this girl's got style', you know how to look good. However, in the morning you cannot escape the 'meh' feeling, due to your lack of energy and your reflection in the mirror. This is not who you are and how you want to feel! And honestly, could it also have something to do with those few kilos you gained?

'Mwah'

The 'mwah' feeling tells you it's time to do something about it! Only, when you think about it, you become overwhelmed by the amount of information. Because yes, you want more energy and better balance, but where do you start? What is wisdom and dreads it. Result: You postpone the step to really start working on yourself seriously.

Direction

But what if we abandon standard diets, 'quick fixes', calorie counting and 'one size fits all'? And instead, take control and discover what works for you in your own Vitality Game? Together, playfully and with a lot of inspiration, ensure that the outside and the inside match each other better! Read experiences from ladies who came before you...

“Yes, I’ve lost weight, but more importantly, my relationship with food has improved.”

Jessica, 49 - Teacher

Did you end up here because you want to:

Have a healthy weight and maybe lose a few or more kilos
Gain more energy and use it wisely without energy dips throughout your day
Get rid of certain body inconveniences that you prefer not to say out loud
Know how to handle your mood swings (so nobody gets hurt ;)
Implement exercise in your life. Sure, but how?
Reach your goals in a way that will stick with you, for ever this time!
Feel at ease and confident around food, all day, everyday, everywhere
Have someone by your side for guidance, support, but who will also hold you accountable

Easy Steady Does It

Let's be honest, finding that one balance that works for you isn't easy, but it's 100% worth it. As your biggest cheerleader and loving 'stick behind the door', you are no longer alone in this! Together we will make the impossible possible.

No Shame In This Game - We take a loving look at you and your relationship with food. What you really eat, when and how often, how much and most importantly, how does it make you feel? Our goal? Eating smartly what you like and what gives you energy (instead of costs you). Feeding instead of filling. Including a lifestyle that includes an exercise routine that you may feel, for the first time in your life, suits you.

Real People, Real Lives - Everything that is relevant to you to find that right balance is discussed; your sleep, digestion, hormone balance, menstruation, (pre)menopause, stress, relaxation, mindset, etc. We track your progress in a super handy app with 'live chat'. This provides interim concrete - real life - support, so we keep things light together... with room for 'thinking out of the box'.

Steady Does It - Discovering 'what really works for you' in small and large steps in 90 days is actually a gift to yourself. The result: a balance that lasts. That result gives you peace of mind and confidence in the choices you make from now on. Everything you have learned is the key to your vitality and, even after the process, offers you the motivation, inspiration and energy for that healthier lifestyle that is tailor-made for you.

My personal before-and-after story:

How Does It Work?

I Got You!

En jij mij, op je telefoon! met handige **app** met live **chatfunctie**.

Alles komt aan de orde. Samen gaan we dingen die **onmogelijk** lijken, **mogelijk** maken. **Stap voor stap**.

Live Support

Keeping it real. What are you **really eating**? And when and **how often**? Honestly? And how does it make you **feel**? Here to help!

Everything in 1 place

In **90 days** you will playfully look for the right balance in your **Nutrition, Hormone Balance & Lifestyle**, which will last.

Your biggest Cheerleader!

Somone to lovingly 'spur you on' and be your '**accountability partner**'. From now on you have to do it alone.

Ok, I kinda read your thoughts, but what to expect?

Clarity. I help make nutrition simple and inclusive for you and help you shift your eating habits, so that you feel more confident and at ease about food and still enjoy the foods you like.
Insight. I will help you understand your hormones better and how you can let them work for you instead of against you.
Habits. Together we will create new habits that really work for you, stick with you and will keep you healthy, motivated and energised.
Fun. Ok, maybe not knee slapping kinda fun. But think positive challenges, kindness, honesty, accountability, sisterhood; a safe place behind the ‘picture perfect’.

And why can I help you?

Love Language

"Have you eaten yet?" as the most frequently asked question in my family, indicates that for me food is always so much more than just nourishing your body. In fact, I grew up with food as a 'Love Language' to make people feel welcome, create connection, affection and comfort for generations. And I am no exception in this.

Balance Balance Balance

However, a few years ago my body started giving me unpleasant signals. I was constantly tired, felt bloated and suffered from nasty infections. I suddenly arrived 'out of the blue' and hey, who invited mood swings and hormones to my party? After I went home with yet another prescription from my doctor and an unsatisfied feeling, it became clear to me that I was the one who had to find the right balance.

Food Lover, not a Food Fighter ;)

Why? Easy. Giving up good food was a 'no go', but I wanted to get rid of my discomfort and feel energetic and great. It was about time I found the key to becoming the most vital version of myself. I became a Food Lover not a Food Fighter ;). For now and forever.

Reviews

Wendy was exactly what I needed in my life. My healthy lifestyle came in waves. Sometimes it went well for a while, I was consciously eating, exercising well, and then I 'fell off the wagon' again, barely moving and consuming a lot of sweets. What I needed were game changers and a baseline. Tools that would fit my lifestyle day in and day out. That's where Wendy coached me.

Wendy is a great coach, she is passionate about her work, empathetic, and results-oriented. Her 3-month program is not a one size fits all. Her approach is very personal. Wendy inspired and empowered me with practical insights to find that baseline. It wasn't an easy journey, but it was very valuable and satisfying. At the end of the three months, I have the tools to maintain that balance and to enjoy it.

I would definitely recommend Wendy and The Vitality Game!

I experienced it as a pleasant collaboration :). Wendy is skilled and supportive. Just truly a beautiful person.

In terms of content:

It's not that I learned things about what I should/shouldn't eat. I had been eating fairly consciously for a long time. And this program was a confirmation of that. But having someone personally by your side really does make a difference. Taking pictures of EVERYTHING I ate worked very wel and was very powerful for me.

As a result, I became even more conscious of my diet, and snacking no longer happened 'unnoticed'. That, and the extra water intake in the morning combined with not eating after nine, were my personal game changers.

After having 5 children and being in pre-menopause, I wanted to invest in a sustainable eating pattern and lose belly fat. In three months, I lost 7 cm in waist circumference. This made me happy! Everything was feeling good again!

I know that if I stick to this, I don't have to 'go on a diet'. I will continue to slowly lose weight towards a beautifully balanced weight and appearance, and that's also the best way. I would like to learn more about supplements though.

For me personally, the greatest value was not in the information but in figuring out together what fits my lifestyle. I found it very nice to be 'shadowed' and encouraged in this by someone like Wendy.

Business Coach

Starting The Vitality Game was one of my best decisions this year. Through Wendy's guidance, I am once again intentionally focusing on my health, nutrition, and body. And I increasingly feel like the fit woman and mother I want to be and lead by example. I already have quite a bit of knowledge about healthy eating, but I had lost the connection with myself. Wendy's holistic approach is apparently what I needed. The Vitality Game is not just about nutrition, but about self-care and living a healthy and conscious life. Wendy is involved, informative, confrontational when necessary, but also fun! It really feels like I have embarked on a lasting, sustainable path. Not a diet but a lifestyle - not 'cannot' but making good choices and enjoying delicious and nutritious food. Tip for entrepreneurs: you can implement The Vitality Game as a vitality program in your business!

Finding the balance in taking care of others and taking care of yourself isn’t always easy. Working with Wendy was exactly what I needed .

She actively listened to my lifestyle and we shaped my vitality plan accordingly. There was no intense diet involved , we focused on the rhythm of my body (ie. menstrual cycle, hormones, digestive system) and smarter food choices/ balance on my plate mixed with new recipes and ingredients.

At the end of the three months I had a whole toolkit to keep me focused and on track!

Dear Wendy, thank you for the great coaching! I can really see and notice that she has turned her passion into her job. Wendy is compassionate, result-oriented, eager and comes up with tailor made suggestions. She takes you along with her enthusiasm and gently but firmly pushes you into the right direction. In 3 months I have managed to adjust my diet and lifestyle, mainly because I got a better understanding of how old mechanisms work. Also I discovered that it doesn't have to be that complicated at all. Even with a very tight schedule you can work on your lifestyle, lose and maintain your weight and still enjoy yourself! She showed me how to still really enjoy food but in a more healthy and relaxed way! No more anxiety or guilt about whether or not I should or should eat something. Because I now know what works, I feel confident and I am not afraid of gaining weight again.

All those nice clothes that ended up in the back of my closet fit me again. Love that! I definitely recommend The Vitality Game!

Wendy offers a super nice coaching trajectory. Her clear and personal plan of approach means that I pay much more attention to what I eat, how I start my day and I also exercise more. For example, I now take the stairs instead of the escalator ;) I've learned to do what works for me and every little bit helps! I am super happy with my personal game plan! Recommended!

“This is a game-changer, we regularly organize multi-day sessions for our customers in which Wendy provides a session about Vitality. She offers practical knowledge and creates conscious awareness about nutrition and encourages everyone to find that right balance.”

Anthony Evers

Sales & Education Manager Kevin Murphy NL

The workshop Wendy gave during our Sisterhood Circle event: Vitality Is Essential To Your Growth, has been very well received.

It was very well structured, informative and easy to follow. Wendy knew how to connect with the audience by addressing recognizable and some vulnerable topics that led to connection and high engagement. Also the extra practical tips she gave us in the end were really nice and left everyone inspired to start making better choices, as of right away. I would definitely recommend Wendy & The Vitality Game where vitality and well-being are central.

Shenin Lebrun

Owner of Hustle & Heart Consultancy

“Wendy explained in detail what vitality means in her masterclass. In two hours she told us all about nutrition and lifestyle and the effect of this on our hormones. It was one big eye-opener... Wendy also gave practical tips to tackle unhealthy behavior. As of today, I have selected a few that can really be life changing for me.”

Farah, 40

“This is what I got out of it: Awareness that vitality is a balance between 'body and mind' and staying close to my authentic self, is of great value to maintain this and integrate it into my daily life.”

Cheryl, 42

Coach and Mindfulness trainer

“ So I know my way around healthy food and a healthy lifestyle. But still, I kept making the wrong choices and wanted to know more about the impact of hormones on the way I feel. In came Wendy with her Vitality Game. First intake she really listened to me and came back with a plan, tailored to my questions and lifestyle. She made it personal in the best possible way. I can’t lie, I fell off the wagon a couple of times, and she got me back on track every time, giving me new information on how my body worked and processed food. Her positive and warm encouragement, knowledge -and love!- for and about food, helped me to have a better relationship with food and lose weight in the process. Not with a diet, but with an effective plan, great gamechangers and by looking at eating in an intelligent way. Serious and playful at the same time. The Vitality Game is the way to go if you want to feel your best at any age, and at any weight.”

Astrid, 44

“A healthy lifestyle is good for everybody. You feel better and the chance of getting ill reduces. Nevertheless, for many people it is difficult to change their lifestyle and to maintain a healthy one. Even for me, as a psychiatrist specialized in lifestyle as medicine this was a challenge. As I was not happy about my own lifestyle I asked Wendy to coach me. I needed a big stick to snack less and to get tips on how to maintain a healthy diet without feeling hungry during the day. In addition, I was worried about my pre-diabetes and wanted to lose a few pounds, mainly to reduce the belly fat. We met online every two weeks. I was pleasantly surprised about Wendy’s knowledge, about how quickly she identified my problems and the detailed personalised plan she had worked out for me. She suggested some changes in my diet that were easy to implement which immediately resulted in good effect. I felt physically better, less hungry and lost the pounds. So if you need a plan that suits you, I can fully recommend Wendy’s program!”

Wiepke, 59

“Are you looking for an honest, committed and inspiring coach? Stop searching. Wendy coached me in the field of nutrition and lifestyle. As a single working mother it is sometimes difficult to eat consciously. I thought I was already doing well with intermittent fasting, but due to small changes in my eating pattern I have lost 3 kilos and still going strong. But more importantly my relationship with food has improved. That's how I learned from her to eat mindfully and avoid insulin peaks. Wendy does not forbid you anything but creates awareness about your own eating pattern and that was the game changer for me! She also threw in some styling tips, for me the cherry on top. My self confidence has been given a huge boost.”

Jessica, 49

Teacher

“Finding someone who really thinks along with you and also has an eye for your personal situation, is priceless. Thank you not only for the lovely conversations, but really sharing your knowledge and teaching me how to take care of myself in a much better way. I feel more balanced, much more in touch with my body. My hormones can still give me a hard time from time to time, but knowing how things work makes it easier to deal with it. I still very much enjoy my food (in smaller portions) and have learned more about me in the past 3 months than I have in the last 10 years.”

Raja, 38

Marketing Manager

“I wasn't looking for standard advice, because we all know that. Tailored advice is what I was looking for, advice that suited me, new healthy habits as a part of my new routine. My goals were to have more energy both at work and at home. Secretly I also wanted to lose some weight. Wendy wrote a clear personal plan that we put to work in a very practical way. Now I listen to my body much better and I know what to choose and when. The results: more energy and I am now losing the extra kilos gradually but automatically. Very happy with it!”
