Why
Have you ever felt like you’ve lost yourself? You don't know what you like or love or are passionate about anymore? Do you find yourself in an almost constant state of overwhelm? Are you there for everyone but you?
Living in a state of numbness, brain-fog and constant stress is not normal, although many of us think that this is the new norm, that it is part of “growing older”.
This is not the case.
Would you love to have a more passionate relationship with your partner?
Would you love to play more with your kids, have more fun together, but think you don’t have enough time?
What if you could Reclaim Your Spark!e and find joy and fulfillment?
It all starts with you making a conscious decision about what you want, what your desires are. Everyone can have a life full of joy. Often you’re just missing the tools and don’t know where to start.
This is why I created “Reclaim Your Sparkle”: to empower you to live the life you love, to start to remember you.
The key to a full life is to consciously start choosing it, each and every moment.
I’m here to empower you to just do so. To choose you. Because by choosing you, you choose everyone else.
By choosing your Joy, you'll share it with everyone around you, with your partner, with your kids. Your Joy has a ripple effect and makes the world a better place.
I have met Iris Van Nespen during med school and we somehow connected during a pediatrics internship! We kept distantly in touch thanks to social media. When I discovered her program I was at a crosspoint in my life (I actually still am) and found that although it was an amazing time I was living it without joy and sparkle due to overwhelming stress and anxiety. I joined a first free workshop and got convinced her coaching would help me through this journey. Around 6 months later I know the journey is still long but I got aware of what's taking me back and get more and more skills to actually overcome all the limitations along the way. Together with other amazing sparkling women I seek my sparkle under the guidance of Iris: a caring coach proposing a custom-made program that will help you be the best version of yourself in a journey that will uncover your life mission, your origin story and even write a love letter to yourself!
Just go for it, reclaim your sparkle!

I am a mother of 3 amazingly incredible kids and it is my honour to guide them to become the most complete and fulfilled human being possible.
I firmly believe that if you live your life truly being yourself, you make the world a better place.
You have this unique Sparkle that is yours. You are unique, your life is unique, your dream is special. I would love to empower you to Reclaim Your Spark!e!
I have been taking part in the group coaching for a few months. I didn't know what to expect, it was uncharted territory for me. The workshops is given in a very friendly, peaceful and gentle manner, even when the subjects are difficult.
You are free to share your experiences and emotions, but it is not required. You are free to choose. You are not judged, whether you choose to share, to laugh, to cry or to crack a joke. The opposite is true: opinions, comments and feelings are received with an open heart and a listening ear and are further explored through key questions. In my mind, that is the point of the workshops.
It is a moment for you and yourself. You begin to ask yourself questions, you slowly begin to understand; you feel your brain rewiring itself, like a crumpled piece of paper unfolding bit by bit. Everyone at their own tempo.
It is a time for self-reflection, during sessions and between sessions, which can be difficult. It is still an ongoing process for me, one that is without doubt worth the effort. More people (men and women) should join such a workshop.
My conclusion? Do it, even though it can be difficult.

I just did a brilliant, eye opening three day challenge with Iris Van Nespen. On the first day, one of the other participants mentioned that she had heard the same teachings from others like Tony Robbins, but for the first time, she actually understood them. I was somewhat surprised she said that because I was thinking the same exact thing! Women, if you get a chance, check it out.

I have just completed a 3 day course with Iris titled "How to reclaim your sparkle". It has been food for the soul - the exact kind of nourishment that I have been in search of. Iris, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, light and passion with me.
- Derryn Musgrave
Having the opportunity to work with Iris Van Nespen was such a gift. She leads in such an inspiring way. Transparent in sharing her stories and experience as a busy doctor, working mom and journey into self-development was easily relatable and applicable to my life. Being real with me and challenging me to face my fears, take small steps and keep moving towards my dreams was exactly what I needed. And she does all this with laughter, listening deeply and heart-filled wisdom. If you are at all sleepwalking through your life, and want real change, want to live life to the fullest, Iris is the coach for you. Simply amazing.

After finishing a bachelor's degree in biology and having a Phd in molecular biology lined up in NYC, I decided to become an Emergency Room physician...
The first thing we did when I received my medical degree 12 years later, as a family of 3, was to move from Belgium to South Africa where I worked in the ER for 4 years.
These were very instructive and challenging years on the professional side, seeing more patients with severe pathologies, trauma and human suffering in a week than I would see in Belgium in a year.
At the same time these were amazing years for my family and I. We had a great lifestyle, the beach was a few minutes away, safari parks to see the Big Five an hour’s drive away... The contradiction was often huge.
We then moved to Guadeloupe as a family of 4, where something snapped in me. I didn’t feel safe for myself or my patients. I was practicing a kind of medicine I didn’t agree with. I started wondering where the “health” and the “care” were in what I was doing (although in the ER we still do a lot of life-saving medicine).
I started to have anxiety (which took me several years to understand, as this feeling was completely unknown to me before) and felt an almost constant feeling of overwhelm.
When I realised that “the quality of my life is the quality of my emotions” I decided to reclaim my Joy, which led me on the path of becoming an empowerment coach.
When you know why you do the things you do and you become aware of it, you can choose to change what you’re doing or to keep on doing it. At least now you have a choice.
As Thich Nhat Han said:“The way out is in”.
I believe that joy is the truest form of human expression and that, if we learned how to tap into it consciously, the face of humanity (and of our beautiful planet) would drastically and beautifully change.
I believe that we have to unlearn who we were asked to become and rekindle who we were to begin with.
