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’.

The Vitality Game @ Work
Vitality is essential for your wellbeing, growth and your performance. Step Up Your Game! A 60 minute live or online Expert session on Food, Hormones & Lifestyle @ work.
I wanted to lose weight and in the beginning, by adjusting my food, it went very well. In the end I got stuck somewhere. Together we looked at what caused this. Discussing more realistic expectations and focusing more on how I feel and my daily energy level has made me look at it a little differently. Unnoticed, I got rid of many complaints, I am more relaxed around food and I feel better about myself. I will definitely take up my resolution to exercise more. This process with Wendy has seriously initiated something positive within myself.

In searching for a new balance, Wendy stood next to me all this time as a positive force. She was willing to really look at what was working for me in my life. Not everything I learned was new, but working with Wendy allowed me to break through the few places where I felt resistance. I enjoyed our collaboration, the inspiration and our contact. I now have a clear baseline that I know works for me. Thank you!

By following The Vitality Game with Wendy, I learned a lot about nutrition and lifestyle, which has helped me enormously. Over the course of the 3-month process, I gained more energy, lost a few sizes, felt more comfortable in my body, more beautiful and completely sexy again! I now know better what works and what doesn't work for me and I have practical tools to maintain that. Halfway through the process, I noticed another positive effect in myself, namely that I have taken back control and my own responsibility in several areas of my life. This unexpected result felt nice and special (also for Wendy) to be able to give it as feedback in our last session.

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.
Onyema, 47
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.”

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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”
