Amis, Partner at Evolution, is an Integral Master Coach™, trainer and facilitator with over 15 years of experience. She coaches leaders and changemakers all over the world - individually, in small groups and teams - applying her intercultural sensitivity and deep curiosity to the work that she does. She believes there are no shortcuts to creating healthy group cultures and eventually societies; we each need to put in the work. Amis brings elements of warmth, beauty and joy as ways to work on oneself and to get curious about what we can be achieved with others.
Amis has a MA in Asian Studies from the University of Leiden and studied Ethnic and Migration Studies at the University at Hawaii. Prior to her work as a coach, she worked in various NGOs in Indonesia and the Netherlands, as well as, as a consultant supporting organisations to evaluate and measure the impact of their work in the world. Being Dutch with Indonesian roots, Amis continues to uncover and excavate the impact of colonialism on everyone involved, women in particular, as well as ways to integrate rituals and wisdom into our modern lives.
In addition to her work with Companions, Amis is a coach and trainer at SPRING and faculty member at Integral Coaching Canada.
Amis has lived in Jakarta, Honolulu, Cartagena and Aruba, and is now based in the Netherlands. Ever since first learning about it, Amis has been an enneagram geek and she’s certified as an IEQ9 practitioner. In her free time, Amis likes to read, sing and dance, either together with her partner and their two girls, or by herself.
