To live your authentic life in line with your true self

To tap into the potential of your most fulfilled, inspired, and personally balanced life

To connect most profoundly with yourself and the world around you

Being yourself and bringing to expression the amazing potential within you

Alignment with yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself. It sounds simple, but it is not easy. External and internal conditioning, of your sense of self, of who you should be, of what you should or should not do, happens from the moment you enter this world and continues until the day you die. Consciously and unconsciously, you try to adapt as best you can to all the conditioning you are subjected to. In that process, your true self and its potential are usually constrained, affecting every aspect of your life: your way of being in life, your profession, your performance, your happiness, your relationships, your joy of life, your health, your success, your inspiration, your added value, your connection with the world. Not living in alignment with yourself takes so much away from your life, generally without you even being aware of it.

 

DSTNY Coaching’s powerful in-depth alignment and performance coaching impels you to (re)discover your natural ability to be your true self and to integrate what is in line with it and what exhilarates it most. This frees up your potential from the built-up constraints of conditioning, and allows your soul’s greatest talents to come to expression. In alignment, your life seems to magically rearrange in different ways and become an exponentially more joyful, fulfilling, inspiring, profound, and connected experience. Thriving from your core outward is the result, with repercussions throughout every aspect of your life. Your perspective and relationship with yourself, your activities, your environment, and the world, transform into a wondrously gratifying and flowing state of living and performing, from being your unique and true self.

    A. S. – Vice President International Consultancy – Eastern Europe
    “I went into the coaching not having a life, only work, work, work. I did not like myself anymore because I was ‘not being what I felt’. I got in touch with my inner own river. I got to see my road to go!”

     

     

    C. F. – Philanthropist – United Kingdom
    “The sessions with Hedy are fun, enjoyable, and opening to deep insight and transformation through perceptive questions and varied exercises. I got insights into my true thoughts. I learned to yield to others with new understanding of them with views that differ radically to mine. I got a much improved sense of self worth/self-belief. I learned to enjoy each day rather than just race towards a distant finish line. I am able to see the bigger picture of my life. This makes me feel ‘released’! With Hedy’s support I pursue the opportunities of my charity and business.”

    “The coaching has given me: seeing things from a different point of view; a positive rejuvenating approach to the new direction of my business; clarity on my relationships and improving them; and focus.”


    S. C. – Property Developer & Investor – Indonesia
    “Hedy knows her stuff and is very friendly. The coaching helped me feel so much lighter, making it sooooo much easier to do things than to avoid doing things. I am more content and ready for new things. I found out that there are other sides of me. I feel more in control and get more things done. I learned to listen to myself and others more. My relationship with my husband, kids, and myself is now happy. I am able to deal with me as I am. I expanded my current business and started a new business project. Having a coach is so great. It gives me a much better understanding about life. It is like having a very close ally who knows how to support me to know what to do to deal with my situation.”

  • O. W. – Manager – Ukraine
    “Hedy really understands me and my situation no matter what it is. Valuable has been my becoming clearer on my vision for myself, my life and my relationships. I have learned to connect with myself more. I am more calm and I am internally happy.”


    G. K. – IT CEO – Slovenia
    “Thanks to the coaching I transitioned from a non motivating and unsatisfactory corporate position to starting and expanding my own successful company that I love working on. Working with Hedy keeps me focused and executing the right things for me. This also makes it possible for myself and my family to have more options in all areas of life.”


    J. L. – IT Engineer & Fitness Trainer – Spain
    “I have gotten an understanding of my direction in life and I have been getting everything on that track. My powerful positive energy has been rekindled. My way of thinking has changed, transforming my world.”

  • B. F. – Special Education Teacher & Entrepreneur – United Kingdom
    “I got clarity on what I wanted from my coaching with Hedy and was able to focus on that rather than on things that I thought I wanted but didn’t. I was able to create more balance in my relationship with my husband, and also more balance in my life generally. I trust Hedy completely because she is always honest with me and reminds me of what is at my core in case I forget or in case I let misconceptions get in the way. Hedy cares tremendously. I feel Hedy believes in me totally, sometimes more than I can believe in myself, and that she has a greater vision for me simply because she can see the ‘bigger picture’ which I will be able to see more and more as my vision for my life expands. It is like having your own ‘raving fan’ except that the person is a ‘raving fan’ of you with a larger vision for what is possible for you based upon their experience and view of the world and the strategies that they have at their fingertips. So that gives lots of confidence and enables more of the ‘real me’ to come out! I can live more truly to myself, which is invaluable. The results that I have achieved would have probably taken me 5 years at least on my own! It is actually easier than you might think to completely transform your life and achieve goals that previously seemed unrealistic or unattainable. I would highly recommend the coaching process particularly with Hedy.”

  • M. U. Senior HR Advisor – Romania
    ”I had the honor of having Hedy as my coach during the most important transitions of my life, assisting me in meeting goals that were directly taken from my dreams section a couple of years ago. I appreciate in Hedy especially her empathy, ability to listen and understand what’s not said, and to adapt the tools she is using in the process to the specific needs of the moment. Her full presence during our calls and her excellent understanding of both human nature and change processes helped me change the quality of life I was able to perceive and create for myself. I feel more confident that I am true to myself in relation with others and more true in my personal relationship. I started my own business and have more energy than before and that comes from being more true to myself. I would anytime recommend her for anyone feeling that life could be more than it apparently seems, she can definitely assist you in discovering that your best estimations were pale as compared to the new reality.”

  • W. R. – Real Estate Professional – Netherlands
    “I have had the privilege of being coached by Hedy Smit for 2 years. In that period I have made some amazing changes in my life. Before I met Hedy Smit I would describe myself and my life as satisfactory, but superficial. I was not really happy in several areas of my life and didn’t really know where I was heading. I have now been able to turn my life around, and I am convinced that without the coaching, it would not have been possible for me to get this far, this fast. I am feeling more fulfilled than ever. The biggest and most satisfying improvement was in my professional life. The coaching made me aware of the fact that it was the fear and not the risks that kept me from going ahead. I decided to go for it and as it turns out, the business is very successful in a highly competitive field. And the coaching process is still working. It is getting deeper. It keeps me motivated. More awareness and clarity give me enormous power every day and in turn I can give some of my knowledge and experience back to the people around me, as a volunteer in my community, in my family, in my professional life as well. And that is what I am most proud of and most grateful for. Hedy is an excellent coach. She has an excellent sense for ‘dissonance’. Meaning, she can sense, see, hear, if what a person is doing, saying is in line with them. So, I can fully and wholeheartedly recommend Hedy Smit. Finding your passion and your true potential, is what she is all about.”

  • A. A. – Government/Education – United Arab Emirates
    “For me the coaching sessions have produced very positive results. Call it ‘coaching miracle’ but now I feel that my course for a long term relationship is on the right path. Also business wise I have really progressed with ideas that I think are going to ‘change the world’. Am very excited about implementing the ideas. From the coaching I got the ability to focus on my outcomes and what and why I was going to do something. It helped me in decision making and being more certain towards the outcome. I am excited by my direction in life!”


    P. Z. – Executive Coach – United States
    “I realized that I was on a career path for others and not for me. I got an understanding of who I am in my core and how to bring out more of my inner core. I also got an understanding about what is protecting me on the outside and how to approach difficult questions about what I want in life. I learned what the right moves are for me to be who I really am and find greater balance and fulfillment.”

  • C. F. – Life Coach – Netherlands
    “The coaching with Hedy has given me a complete new way of understanding myself and a new way of being empowered. I found my inner voice and got a different perspective as to where I am and my life. I have increased focus and personal energy. I have more courage to act. I have acceptance about my unique proposition at the core, what is so special and different about me, and what is unique about my coaching. I have built up my coaching business during my transformational year with Hedy as my coach. Along the way I have also improved my relationship with my children and my partner. I like all the creative exercises Hedy uses to help me gain insight into myself and my situation. I also appreciate the combination of action and reflection in the coaching. Hedy understands where I am in her coaching of me and she challenges me. She is very caring and very tough! Her international perspective helps her understand my international background and different cultural ways of thinking. She is genuine and has so much depth to her. I have also experienced her on stage in front of thousands of people. On stage she is still able to connect with people with a deep personal caring and profound impact, and she amazingly continues to stay in authentic conversation with the audience in such a setting too.”

  • R. W. S. – Financial Consultant – Denmark
    “I found my identity as a person, as a man, and as a business person. I am able to relax. I am more confident about my stress now. I have tools that really helped change my thoughts to the better. My business is the right work for me and is a success now. I have more focus when I work. The focus has also helped me get better sleep and wake up naturally feeling energized. I have been feeling more fulfilled by doing the most important things to me first. I am much more calm and confident in general. The situation with my wife is a lot better. My life has meaning. A lot has improved both personally and for my business. My life quality has improved, and I love the coaching! Hedy is a super coach!”


    M. A. – Athlete – Canada
    “I knew what it is that I am passionate about, but I was choosing not to go after it. My big breakthrough with Hedy has been the ability to trust myself, be myself, not betray myself anymore, not settling anymore, harnessing and focusing my passion, talents, and personal values, and creating magic living life fully in line with me.”

  • R. S. – High-End Hospitality Executive – Japan
    “I very much enjoy the (phone coaching) discussions with Hedy and her questioning perspective rational and knowledgeable mind and seemingly having a sixth sense about me. I think in the future if I find myself at a crossroads that challenges me or I need advice for support in many forms she would be the person I would contact for support.”


    G. C. –Business School Director & Professor – France
    “Hedy coached me for about 6 months, and I have enjoyed every step of this trip. She established straight away a relationship of trust and confidence. I felt supported and listened to all the way through, and at the same time stretched outside of my comfort zone to see things from a different perspective. I felt that she cared about me, my objectives and my results. I loved the different tools, methods and techniques she used. Every session had a part of surprise!! Thanks Hedy for this joyful experience.”

  • N. B. – Entrepreneur – Netherlands
    “When I first started my coaching with Hedy, I just quit working at my own company (sold it). Years of hard work made me forget what I actually liked to do. She made me realize that focusing on my wishes and demands was more important then just trying to find 'any' kind of job. Or just start another company and probably end up working the way I used to do; without respect for my own demands. From the beginning, working with Hedy is a pleasure. With her humor, walks along the beach, and her ability to know which subjects to address and how to address them, she made me remember all the things that are important to me and to make me respectfully say goodbye to old habits. Now that I started a new company - because I feel it's right for me - and made some big decisions in my life because I know they were the right things to do, I still love the way Hedy makes me look at situations from a different angle. I still love the way she lets me discover what's important for me. Hedy rules! ;-).“

  • M. A. – CEO Luxury Goods Company – Luxemburg
    “I found myself so easily opening up. I learned about the paradoxes that exist within myself. I learned to love myself and get to know myself. For the first time I got to believe in myself. I know what to do now. I do the things that are right for me. I feel happier than ever! My partner is also really happy with Hedy, because our relationship has become what it is thanks to my coaching with her. The coaching has also brought me closer to my parents. And I feel so much healthier.”


    O. R. – Industrial Consultant – Sweden
    “Started a new career path closer to my heart. Learned to relax by accepting and letting myself be myself. More balance and energy in life. More income. Good reflection on life. Reached all set coaching goals and more. Deeper relationship with my partner. I am very pleased with the coaching. A lot of progress is made in my life.”
