What Changes Clients Typically Experience

People who complete Regrounded™ often begin to notice meaningful shifts such as:

  • A quieter mind
    The mental replay of past events begins to settle.

  • Reduced anxiety and emotional spikes
    Situations that once triggered strong reactions become easier to handle.

  • Greater emotional steadiness
    Your system begins to stabilize instead of staying on edge.

  • Improved concentration and sleep
    As your nervous system calms, clarity and focus return.

  • Calm under pressure
    You can respond thoughtfully instead of reacting from stress.

For many professionals, this means feeling grounded again — both in life and in work.

Thanks to Koen I discovered I was doing everything for everyone around me, and was ignoring my own needs. It drained me. I am now leading a much more balanced life full of energy

Cynthia, Australia

I've learned to let go and not try to control everything. People around me now feel empowered in stead of controlled. Thank you, Koen!

Louis, United Kingdom

Trying to be of help to refugees, I worked 60-hour workweeks. I learned the importance of work-life balance and keeping myself sane. After my burnout, I am now myself, and I love life again.

Rebecca, Philippines

QOEN conducted an evaluation of our 4 year project. He did so in a very balanced and constructive manner. He ensured inclusion and participation of all stakeholders in the process. The final report has helped to inform our discussions with development partners for the next phase. Merci, Koen.

GRET, Cambodia

In our groupwork Koen helped us clarify the results framework for our project, our Theory of Change and how we measure and monitor the progress of our program. I am very excited about our project now.

Huong, Vietnam

Koen developed a regional monitoring and evaluation framework for our program; a program in 6 countries for 7 different sectors. The framework is now a central tool for assessing progress and development in the Mekong Region.

INTRODUCING

About Koen

For most of my career I worked in the international development and humanitarian sector with the United Nations. My work took me into complex environments, including peacekeeping operations and high-pressure assignments. In 2013 I experienced the Westgate terrorist attack in Nairobi, followed six months later by an armed robbery in my home where I was shot in the leg. After these events I developed post-traumatic stress.

My mind replayed the events constantly. My body stayed on high alert. Sleep became difficult. Eventually I worked with an NLP practitioner who helped me begin calming my system again.

That experience sparked a deep interest in how the mind processes stress and trauma.
Over the years I trained in:

  • Clinical Hypnotherapy
  • Rapid Transformational Therapy
  • NLP (Practitioner & Master Practitioner)
  • Rapid Transformational Coaching
  • Somatic and mindfulness-based approaches

Today I use these tools to support development and humanitarian professionals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, or trauma responses from their work environments.

Because I have walked that path myself, I understand both the challenge — and the possibility of recovery.
