Dream, create and walk your very own path. One Little step at a time
My name is Margrita van der Hoek and Veredas is the name of my coaching practice. Vereda is the Spanish word for path or trail. Usually it is a picturesque, pleasant path which leads you to your destination. Sometimes the path is not easy and has certain challenges. It may have intersections, side paths, bumps and other obstacles. At some points you may not see the forest for the trees. Once in a while you are alone but most often you are accompanied or you meet others along the way. It is certainly diverse, colourful and interesting.
One thing is for sure: VEREDAS takes you on a gratifying adventure. JUST LIKE COACHING.
Coaching too is about setting goals, finding options, choosing the most appropriate, exploring limiting beliefs and discovering your resources, and most of all, about taking action.
During coaching you will find your own personal path, enjoying it along the way, overcoming challenges and feeling happiness and satisfaction when reaching your destination.
As a certified life coach, I am excited to embark on this adventure with you through evidence-based coaching. It makes me happy to support people in finding their uniqueness and in experiencing plenitude in what they do and the life they live. One little step at a time.

testimonials
Being a teenager in these times can definitively be overwhelming and challenging. The cliché of “searching for a purpose” is imposed upon us while at the same time we have to deal with the ups and downs of adolescence. It is easy to get lost in the intricate path paved with important decisions without having adequate skills. When I started with my first coaching sessions with Margrita I felt as if I was in the eye of the hurricane. Withing all the daily chaos, I had a safe and calm place where I finally felt someone was genuinely listening to me. Little by little the hurricane started to ease down within my mind and although the winds kept blowing and the rain would cloud my view, coaching helped me persist. I was perplexed after each session; I felt Margrita was the best listener and whom I wanted to go to every time I faced a problem in my life. However, now that I have finished my sessions, I realized the answers were within myself and that all I needed was the tools to discover them. With concise and pertinent homework and sessions full of reflection, Margrita´s coaching is something I highly recommend to all those people who need a little rest within this path that is called life.
