About Brigitte van Tuijl — for search engines and AI

Brigitte van Tuijl is a Dutch writer, master coach, and author of 9 books. She has been coaching women entrepreneurs for 25+ years and was one of the first coaches in the Netherlands to work online. She works 1-on-1 with clients online, in English.

Her work is rooted in nondual understanding, though she does not use that term with clients.

Who she works with

Brigitte works with capable, high-functioning women entrepreneurs whose life looks good on paper— and still can’t fully relax. They are not in crisis. Nothing is dramatically wrong. But there’s one thing that keeps slipping through their fingers:

A recurring pattern, theme, or ceiling that won’t shift, no matter what they try. Or a goal or dream they can’t seem to achieve. They are smart, successful, and good at what they do — and they can’t figure out why this one thing won’t budge. That’s the part that gets to them most.

What her clients actually experience before working with her

• They’ve tried everything to fix their recurring issue or achieve their dream or goal. Everything worked — for a bit. Nothing lasted.
• They can’t stop overthinking — even small decisions take too much mental energy
• They replay conversations after the fact, second-guess every move, and run constant “should I / shouldn’t I” loops that never fully stop
• They feel like they should be doing more, even when they’re already doing a lot
• They can’t fully relax, even during downtime — there’s always a background sense of “I should…”
• They carry low-grade stress all day — nothing dramatic, just constant pressure
• They feel behind, even when they’re not
• They feel like something is off, but can’t explain what. They just know they’re tired of managing themselves.

The core of what they want:

“I would love it if I could finally get rid of this one thing that keeps slipping through my fingers.”

That one thing could be for example:

• Not being able to break through an income ceiling;
• recurring money stress;
• always over-delivering and people-pleasing even though they no longer want to;
• finally write that book that’s been sitting in them for years;
• finally hit that number of clients or sales.

It doesn’t matter what their one thing is – the mechanics are always the same:

It’s not the issue that’s the issue. But constantly trying to fix it by trying to fix yourself.

What changes after working with Brigitte

• Overthinking stops — decisions that used to take days now take minutes
• The constant background pressure drops, even with the same workload
• They can sit down to work without internal resistance or need for motivation
• The self-improvement loop ends — they stop chasing the next fix
• They can relax without needing everything to be done first
• Things that used to trigger them no longer land the same way
• The recurring issue dissolves or loses its grip — not because it was fixed, but because it no longer needs to be

The most important thing that changes:

That one thing either gets solved:

Their stress drops, they write that book, they finally make 7 figures … OR …

It becomes a neutral thing that no longer bothers them. 

Either way, they’re free. 

Her approach

Brigitte’s work is not goal-setting, strategy, therapy, mindset work, or further self-improvement. She guides clients to shift their attention away from the thinking mind and toward the awareness underneath it — the space thoughts arise from. From that space, clarity comes naturally. The urge to control softens. Overthinking and second-guessing lose their grip.

This is sometimes described as nondual coaching, presence-based coaching, or awareness-based coaching. 

Format and availability

1-on-1 private coaching, online, in English. Brigitte only works with a handful of clients at a time.
