I have found Karin to be thoughtful, and insightful. She has provided me with numerous subtle but powerful ideas for challenging negative habits, in both my personal and professional life. Karin has helped me to achieve beyond my goals and our weekly coaching sessions have helped me find the right work-life balance and to get more confidence to achieve my biggest dreams in life. I would strongly recommend her.

Karin has a very supportive and caring manner, providing a safe atmosphere in which to explore and confront feelings. She encouraged me, in a gentle way, to look inside of me for answers. I was amazed by the results and effectiveness of her sessions.

Christiaan ~ 33 ~ International Asset Manager ~ Top Tier Asset Management Company
The bank that I worked for was taken over and integrated during 2008. The consequence was that people, processes and the job content totally changed. In this chaos I lost perspective for further personal development. The aim of our professional coaching sessions was to organise this chaos and to get the focus and direction in my career back. My experience is that Karin is very skilled in asking the right questions and finding the exercises to discover my core values and how I can ensure that these get a central role in my development. By being quite confronting at times, I know she has been key in regaining a positive direction in my career.
Julie (*) ~ 48 ~ Self Employed Shiatsu Therapist & Mother ~ Acton, London
In the past few years my life circumstances had rendered me to an emotive, hopeless and lethargic person, affecting my business as much as my family life. My sense of self worth had been reduced to zero. My main outcome of receiving personal life coaching was to regain my energy and restore to my former self, with the hope to start rebuilding my carrier as a shiatsu therapist.
Karin's coaching method is interactive yet not intrusive, making me feel safe talking to her. Her approach is to the point and her questions were like bulbs lighting from within during each session. This helped me to see light at the end of the tunnel and access my best inner resources. But most importantly I got motivated to re-build myself.
Now, three months on, I have started seeing clients again, hardly ever run out of energy and motivation and always remember that our natural state of being is to be happy! Thank you Karin for all your expertise, but even more so for your unconditional love and compassion.

Karin is more than a great coach. She is an ethical coach dedicated to helping people understand themselves and how to be the best they can be.

I can personally vouch for Karin, who is caring and very skilled at what she does. We have had several coaching sessions and I am very happy and comfortable recommending her. I am a fairly driven and goal focused achiever, and she is working me through loads of stuff both personally and professionally.

In the summer of 2008 I contacted Karin. I felt out of control of my own life. I wasn’t sure if the decisions taken were the right decisions. My energy level was low, my concentration and discipline were gone and I just didn’t function the way I was used to. It probably was the result of a chaotic period in my life in which all the certainties I had were left behind. I broke up with the boyfriend I spend 12 years with, I had to move houses and physically I encountered some problems. Beside all that I started thinking about a next step in my career, without the belief that I was really capable of going to the next level.
Karin's coaching sessions helped me with getting things clear again. She has great listening skills and is very good at identifying barriers. She helped me recognizing where my limitations and beliefs came from and how I would be able to overcome them. I now feel in control again. I am not yet where I want to be, as life is not as stable as it used to be, but at least I am feeling a lot more positive, energetic and in control. I see the chances and advantages of my own personality again and am looking forward to the future in a positive way.

I already had some experience with coaches. But Karin is different. Instead of telling me what I should do, she helps me to find my own answers. Surprisingly this way of helping gives me much more confidence, because now I realise that I already have all the answers within me. I just need to learn and listen to myself more. Karin is helping me at this moment to do so.
It’s funny that I feel so free to tell her everything, without shame. I think this is because she never judges me. And it’s like she doesn’t judge herself either. She gives me the feeling that she doesn’t think she’s perfect and that I don’t need to be perfect to become more in balance with myself.
Now that I write this I think the biggest thing she gives me is acceptance in every way.

I called Karin to coach me through the limiting beliefs I had in starting up my new business. I found Karin so supportive in helping me to decide to start this dream. Karin was especially good at breaking down any barriers I had to potential success and getting me to set my own goals and to monitor my progress towards achieving them. Karin has great listening skills and is very good at identifying where my limitations and inner barriers are and coaching and supporting me to remove them. I now have my new business up and running and I look forward to the future with optimism thanks to Karin’s professional coaching and mentoring.

I have received professional coaching from Karin at Vitalis Coaching and can definitely recommend their services. Karin is knowledgeable and experienced in both the commercial world and also in the coaching environment. She helped me to set realistic goals, but still "stretched" me to achieve beyond my perceived limitations.

I have been coached by Karin Peeters several times now and my experience is that she is very professional, yet also human in her approach. She has a very honest and open view of the world that helped me enormously to put things in perspective. I am very happy with my results so far and I find Karin a pleasant person and a very good personal life coach.

Never ever felt like being in a black tunnel? Trying to find the end while looking for a light that would never show? That’s how I was feeling! The life coaching sessions I had with Karin helped me realising that no tunnel exists, I just had my hands in front of my eyes. She helped me discover that the real strength is within me, nobody else can decide about my life apart from me. She helped me taking ownership of my future by letting go of my past and living in the present. As a result of our professional coaching sessions I finally took the courage to study again and to organise my life in order to be more balanced, and it is working. I am at the beginning of a fantastic path. I am so grateful to her; she is absolutely talented and dedicated. I was completely new into the coaching world and she introduced it to me and guided me in a friendly, professional way. The person I was a couple of months ago is a memory! I recommend anyone to do life coaching sessions with Karin; she will be able to help you find the right keys to open the doors and make the light come through. Karin I am to you Eternally Grateful!

I saw Karin to help me refocus and find some direction in all areas of my life. I was feeling frazzled by the demands of life and couldn't work out what I wanted as my life felt very chaotic. I wanted to focus on career, relationships, moving house and generally where I want to be in life. Karin was a fantastic support, helping me to regain confidence to change things, to work out what I really want from my life and my relationships with other people. She's started me on the road to changing things in my life... my underlying positivity has returned even though I still have a long way to go. Hence the reason why I'm still going to be seeing her regularly for personal life coaching sessions! I would highly recommend Karin - she is a fantastic Life Coach and more.

Karin is a great life coach, very professional, calm and friendly. Her questioning techniques lead to personal insights and I always came away from our coaching sessions feeling more in control, focused and with a sense of clarity. I would present lots of information during our sessions, but Karin has a technique of picking up on the important pieces and exploring those. She also has a way of creating a safe space for us to work together, which allowed me to be open and make some important discoveries about myself. I would highly recommend Karin, I have found her both supportive and inspiring.

Vision Board Workshop Day
What a fantastic experience! The sun was shining, and the mood energetic and positive. In her ever constant way, Karin helped strangers become friends and provided all the tools for us to lay our dreams and aspirations out in a visual display. This helped us remember to think about our goals, discover new ones and fix our aim. Vision Boards provide a constant reminder of the things we most desire, all too easily forgotten in the day-to-day stresses of life. Making them as a group is a fantastic idea and I was thrilled to be invited along to Karin's day. Being provided with card, scissors, glue and a mountain of magazines to shift through to our hearts content, meant no more excuses and no more reasons to postpone what could be a life changing exercise. I also took along my 12 year old daughter, superb to do something so positive together! I thank Karin from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful experience.

I am the kind of person that's very open to the idea of obtaining a personal Life Coach, but until now I wasn't ready to make the financial commitment involved with the service.
I was recommended by someone I trust very well to look into being coached by Karin Peeters so I enquired. I went ahead with the coaching and it was a brilliant choice. I honestly can't pinpoint one key aspect that solicited changes inside of me, but the end result speaks for itself. I am far on my way to what I set out to do and I know it is in good part to the Life Coaching I received from Karin.
Vision Board Workshop and Coaching
I first participated in one of Vitalis Coaching’s Vision Board workshops, because I was thinking about a career change and was hoping that, by subconsciously tearing pictures from magazines and putting them together in a Vision Board, I'd get some new insights in that respect. It was wonderful to see what a happy and energetic board I created, especially since I hadn’t felt that energetic and happy about my current job for a long time.
I decided to meet up with Karin for a follow-up session to analyse my Vision Board further. We first discussed the rational side of a possible career switch. Secondly Karin indicated to let the rational side go and we went into my subconscious by literally stepping onto my Vision Board. Karin made me feel safe and asked all the right questions. It let to a number of great (new) insights. I’m absolutely sure that both the workshop and the additional coaching session will help me making the right decision with respect to my career!

The Citizens Trust contracted Karin Peeters from Vitalis Coaching to deliver coaching and mentoring sessions for our clients. We have been working together with Karin for eight months now and so far she has coached and mentored 182 of our clients.

I’ve experienced Karin as very professional, organised, warm and caring. The staff refers some of their most vulnerable clients to Karin and trust that they are in good hands. It’s a pleasure having Karin around, and I’m looking forward to a long term working relationship together.

Karin has impressed me with her professionalism and integrity since our first communication . As a fellow coach, I have bombarded Karin with question upon question about setting up a practise, about tendering documents, about every detail you could imagine. Karin has always responded freely, immediately and with a level of empathy that stands out even to a fellow coach. I would trust her completely and can strongly recommend Karin to handle each and every scenario that you might present her with. I will always be indebted to her for the assistance she has given me.
